    Excuse me "Hoping for power, ... Not "hoping for the best". My error.

    Are you kidding me?

    That is considerably more information than we have received from KP. They have weighed many factors before determining they are ready to open rather than "hoping for the best... " And they HAVE power.

    Are you kidding me?

    Jasperdog used to be the biggest defender of all the nonsense at KP because in the end it was all part of training leaders to be prepared to deal with any crisis with a cool head. The brush with death experience encountered by his DS and 38 others drastically altered his views about the...

    Health Insurance at USMMA for Midshipmen

    I don't see where this has anything to do with Obamacare. It is a completely separate issue- An issue involving a policy that MAY require parents to purchase inferior coverage for their mids while maintaining superior coverage on their own plans because of 1 or 2 questions about their own...

    Water Level/Gut Check 6.5 Weeks into "Phase 1" of the 2012-2013 USMMA Year...

    I didn't read your post as negative. I was commenting because our often cynical DS was very moved by the evening. I wanted to share some good news on a forum where we all drift to the whiny on occasion.

    Water Level/Gut Check 6.5 Weeks into "Phase 1" of the 2012-2013 USMMA Year...

    I also have not heard any ring dance carnage. I have heard it was an incredible evening that will be treasured for a lifetime and the Sup made a great speech that was very well received by 2013. Just saying :smile:

    Ring dance photos??

    I was able to search for Shawn Wehking and go through all his photos without being his friend on FB. Not many of DS. I found all his friends in multiple photos but only 2 of him! :frown:

    Concern re: morale

    Amen to that! And it's good to know that sometimes that the reg cocks get their payback- which can be hell!

    Concern re: morale

    You are exactly right that LITS summed it up well!! And it is so true. Btw I asked DS what was going on. He said its not the sup or commandant that make the place miserable, it's the "kids" with fake bars who think that makes them something that ruin the place. Then he added, it's not so bad...

    Concern re: morale

    I know the morale was said to be the lowest ever when Greene first started too and the mids ended up liking him very much. But.... much of the problem, at least for 2013, is that they have had 5 sups in THREE years counting Kumar twice. A "little manning up" for them happens on average twice...

    Health Insurance letter

    QUOTESorry, but despite what anybody was "told" to the contrary, the USMMA never had a more comprehensive medical plan than this current plan in decades, if ever at all. So again. no policy changes here, just clarification of what the medical policy has been. Obviously, clarification was indeed...

    Health Insurance letter

    Thank you KPMUM2012. Folks get so argumentative here. I KNEW what the policy was in 7/2009 and it was coverage for mids while at KP and performing duties for KP. And yes, we were told to tell our mids never to give our insurance and always use the USMMA address. My kid goes there, I knew the...

    Health Insurance letter

    This sounds like the current policy that will change in October based on the letter we received. Perhaps the website has not been updated- which certainly isn't a rare occurrence at KP.

    Health Insurance letter

    I was not suggesting anybody drop their kids from their insurance. I was commenting that KP is no longer providing the coverage they have been providing for reasoning I find disconcerting (not really a REAL service academy) and then saying this is consistent with the procedures at all...

    Health Insurance letter

    Is anybody else bothered by the "changes in health insurance letter" sent via parents associations by email? I found it offensive and troubling on many levels... So KP isn't REALLY a real service academy so no health insurance for the mids? Who exactly determined that and why, when and how...
