http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2014/full-list-of-schools This probably needs to be taken with a grain of salt. For some reason KP is not listed though, I'm guessing, if it was it'd be at or very near the top. I also don't understand how an 0-1 in the Navy and an 0-1 in...

I find it very hard to believe KP was not in the top 5! I wonder if KP was even considered?? The 2012 Officer Pay Chart I look up on line has an 0-1 with under two years of service earning just under $3000/mos. I'm not sure where they come up with $72,200. Benefits add some but I'm fairly...

I understand the new Commandant has been selected. Nothing on the Academy or Alumni site. My guess is it's the Acting Commandant. If so, is this good or just more of the same?

Just finished a wonderful Parents Weekend with 2013 DS and discussed with him what additional items he needed from the recommended Sea Year Gear List. It seems there are several items on the list which are unavailable at the KP NEX: Working Khakis (not specific whether long or short...

Does KP provide the mids with sometype of suitcase or sea bag for travel during sea year?? If so, is it adequate? If not or no, what is best. Any thoughts/recommendations appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Instead of "thread creep" decided to start a new thread based on some discussion from Cookiemom's thread. I'm a pilot for UPS airlines and do mostly international travel, 15 days a month. Here are some lessons learned from 13 years experience: - ensure your DS/DD has a calling card. I like...

With respect to the "Tragic News" thread, shouldn't this have been something we should have been notified via the USMMA ACADEMY ALERT SYSTEM FOR PARENTS? Obviously Dant and his staff had their hands full yesterday, but I suspect there is a checklist to be accomplished when a tragedy such as...

Heard from my ds that a "large" portion of his Metro Prof's students failed the final. This is true for my ds who said he passed the course but since he failed the final he must retake the final . . . . . I'm real confused. On a separate note, if this is true, and after reading the previous...

I have absolutely no problem with plebes having to go outside to make phone calls when they have phone privileges, but making them do this when it's 28 deg F with 18 knots of wind and a wind chill of whatever makes absolutely no sense! Can someone please apply some common sense to this! Thanks.

Hi All, Please take a look at the following site: http://www.collegeresults.org/search1a.aspx?institutionid=197027 It indicates the graduation rate for KP is about 70%. Of the 300 or so who enter, about 90 are loss over 4 years. I thoroughly believe in a weeding out process of those...

Unbelievably, there is a plebe in my son's company whose parents aren't coming because his older brother is an '08 Grad and they've been there, done that! There may be more to the story, but I think they are doing their son a terrible injustice. Please check with your plebes and if there...
