Consider Mass Maritime and Maine Maritime as well. The SSOP is a great program but it is competitive and not a sure thing. It is only for Deck and Engineering Officers.

I believe what this esteemed poster meant to say was Section III of the CG-719B (MMC Application) as opposed to CG-719K which is the Medical Eval report.

DS wasn't a four year ROTC and has some student loans from year one. Does the Navy have a student loan forgiveness program if they go Active Duty upon graduation? If not ... this sounds like a great way to payoff Student Loans at a lower interest rate?

Luigi? Is that the first loss CGA endured by the MMA?

Same boat here! Not even a TWE to close the chapter and move on? Anyone have any clue? From USMMA Web Site:Early Notification of Admission Highly qualified candidates may receive early notification of their appointment after complete evaluation of their qualifications. All other candidates...
