Interesting info, thanks for posting. Hopefully the sea sick crew members were from the SIU. I was at KP in September and didn't notice any construction activity around Mallory Pier. If they hadn't started on it in September, it is hard to imagine that this project will be done by the spring...

I concur with all those who think that conducting the post-license ring the bell tradition as part of a regimental formation is goofy and is a mistake by the administration. It has been over 25 years since I rang the bell and I recall it being a memorable, but low key event. It was...

Concur 100% Do not go to KP if your intention, before you even start at KP, is to join the USAF after graduation. The primary mission of KP is to produce Merchant Marine officers not Air Battle Managers, whatever those are. Let someone who is actually interested in going to sea in the...

KP needs to help fix this one. The school should have some contacts at the NY REC and the NMC that can be called upon to expedite production of a cadet's MMC in a situation like this. I have seen the NMC churn out a license renewal in less than a day once the NMC was informed (and...

My condolences for your loss. My paternal grandfather passed away when I was on my second class sea year. His passing coincided with the end of my assignment to my last ship as a cadet, so I was able to arrive home on the morning of his funeral. I have a feel for what you are going through...

MSC will hire Third Officers this year.

I heard that there were over 170 applicants for the Superintendent job.
