    Questions about the commitment

    I can imagine that some of these young adults may realize, after their first sea year experience, that the life at sea isn't for them and maybe they have reliaxed they want to go in a different direction. What a tough decision to make though, whether to leave KP or not.

    Dormitories and living conditions

    I just asked the question, a mother would like to know. DD could care less. Not sure what a "coper" is but I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply. Geez.
