    "F" in 1 class

    Sadly this will, more than likely, be my last post. My DS has been dis-enrolled. He failed Economics this past tri., was referred for dis-enrollment and Dr. Kumar took a hard line position and up held the decision. The chair of the Academic Review Board is Assistant Academic Dean Taha...

    "F" in 1 class

    ARB supposedly met yesterday. Have not heard if anyone has received any info. Wonder if Dr. Kumar has two "votes" now that he is the Acting Sup? If so, that really could make things a little different.

    "F" in 1 class

    Hang in there. This will be a time of uncertainty and it may or may not take a twist or turn. If your plebe only failed one class, the "it depends" could very well work out positively for your plebe. You will know more by end of day tomorrow (probably) because that is when the ARB...

    Need some info on MMC

    As you should be! And, without a doubt, the place teaches lessons that aren't exactly in the "Lesson Plan"......just as we do as parents.....one way or another we teach our children things.....good and bad.

    Need some info on MMC

    Can't even get considered for a ship assignment until you have it - is my understanding. It sure seems unacceptable for a midshipman (many midshipman) to be held up, lose the opportunity for a ship, and basically be put in such a position. I would venture a guess that if the shoe was on the...

    Good Information / Advice from KP Alum

    Talked to DS last night....this has taken a backseat to final exam preparation, so, glad to hear the regiment is keeping the main thing the main thing.

    USMMA position on homosexuality question

    Thought it was along those lines....and more than a little confusing.....also, a little dicey how to advise a prospective candidate.....policy may be one thing, when the practical reality is something a little different.

    USMMA position on homosexuality question

    Given that in 2011, President Obama has signed a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" regarding the Military.....what is the current official position of The USMMA?.....for both applicants and current Mids. I am only asking, knowing the institution is not a military academy, but the midshipman...

    From the Alumni about Greene

    Ignore the past and we are destined to repeat it......damn this stinks. I love this country and would die for it and it's founding principles....have the honorable discharge to prove it...........The USMMA, in 2011, deserves better than this, the midshipman of the current student body deserve...

    From the Alumni about Greene

    From the link above from the SUPER MODERATOR: "All, We understand that the reassignment of RADM Greene is a sensitive and, apparently, divisive issue for the KP community. We have therefore tried to allow legitimate debate and discussion to continue." I respectfully disagree. This absurd...

    Thank You To Admiral Greene

    I certainly hope thousands like yourself are "playing cards".....the silence of the VERY vocal regular alum on this board is noticed. Hopefully, they are spending their time Acta and not Verba!

    Thank You To Admiral Greene

    After "only" one year on the job.....me thinks this speaks pretty loudly. Add me to the list saying; "Thank You" for a job well done.... and by most accounts unfinished.

    Rear Adm. Phillip Greene steps down

    Admiral Greene was the right man for the job. Unless something significant and hidden is revealed, he should not have been treated in this way. The USMMA should not have been treated in this way. That, my friends, is just one man's opinion I personally appreciate this post and all post(s)...
