AMF, Let me start by applauding your courage. This is dangerous territory. I am Kevin Rodgers. You may or may not know me. I became very involved with 2012 thanks to Christina Betancourt & Kristin Koval. If you ask Brittany Bergmann, Nancy Barriga or Kristen Bell, they might give me...

I have to agree the site had to go. As an alumni who has worked with many of the mids over the last few years, and still has significant interaction with them on a regular basis, I would like to say this: Face Book, like fire, is a very powerful tool. Going further on my analogy -- fire has...

Congratulations!!! Congratulations - A long, hard journey lies ahead - but one that is still very worthwhile. For all the commentary about lowering expectations I have this quote: "We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because...

OK, I know I just posted the old schedule, but felt that I should add some additional thoughts based on personal experiences about graduation weekend all that that leads to it: - Two weeks before graduation they (hopefully all) sit for license exams. Those that pass first time (and are...

Proud Mom: This is from 2011, which I happen to have handy. The format is almost identical every year - except I do not think Melville Hall will be available this year. A lot depends on how much you want to spend. There is the question of if your child will be part of the awards...

Yes the problems have not been fixed I seem to remember someone directing us to a web-link with an article where the statement was made that the problems would be fixed back in January. Too bad Secretary LaHood wasn't visiting today - I'm thinking far-ranging strategic planning should maybe...

Permanent record!! On the lighter side, This is not even my academy, but the post just reminded me of something "related." Am I the only one who remembers the episode of the "Wonder Years" where the students were planning to stage a walk-out in protest of the Vietnam War? The principle...

exceptions to Years of service Given your title as "Sgt." are you in the active armed forces now, and looking to join the academy on a special sponsorship? If so, that may qualify as an exception. I do recall many years ago a midshipman sponsored by the Marine Corps who was being paid by...

Here is the 2011 schedule as a reference Here is a schedule someone posted for last year's events. Things are generally repeatable year after year, but this year who knows? UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY KINGS POINT WEEKEND 2011 SCHEDULE EVENTS SUBJECT TO CHANGE The graduation...

To clarify I have followed this thread for some time now, and have been reluctant to chime in for a variety of good reasons. However, I was at USMMA yesterday personally and discussed some of these issues with some of the midshipmen directly. Let me stick to some relevant input I received...

Hello everyone, As a graduate from almost 32 years ago, and as a local resident in New York, I have become much more involved with the actual midshipmen that are attending the academy in recent years. Consequently, I have many concerns about the direction my beloved alma mater seems to be...
