You should check your facts when posting. The most recent superintendent at KP was RADM Phil Greene KP 78. He held a US Coast Guard License as Unlimited Master, and spent his career active duty navy. He also worked as chief of staff at the Naval Academy. The man knew KP, he knew the industry, he knew the navy. He was great for KP, however due to politics he was forced out. Prior to that was Captain Allen Worley, USN (ret). He was ok, he was superintendent at Texas A&M at Galveston, (Maritime Academy). He at least went to the Naval Academy and besides being a pilot had time aboard surface ships. He was not the best choice but had at least a maritime background and had a vision. He wanted to focus on brown water education for midshipman. Prior to that was Maj. Gen Stewart USMC (ret). Many did not like Stewart, he was loved by midshipman but his vision was not one of being a premier maritime school. He was known for saying sea year is meaningless and that the maritime courses were not important. Stewart also did a lot of damage to the academy. His policies currently set up all the problems at KP. Let's be honest the man did a lot of damage.
Finally the new pick is nothing more than a puppet for MARAD, if you knew what is going on you'd see that.
None of this is in the best interests of the students.
