There was a related USMMA article on the front page of the Washington Post yesterday (below the fold).
Sad stuff.

And you know this how?That article was mostly hard left liberal/feminist media bias incorporating an aspiring actress KP '11 grad who probably wants to get her name out there for exposure and wouldn't have come forward if not for the opportunity to be featured in a major media outlet story.
But you just did exactly that.Not to discount the unwanted advances she encountered, but somebody has to say it.
WOW!!! Just.....wow. I am without words for how misguided you are.That article was mostly hard left liberal/feminist media bias incorporating an aspiring actress KP '11 grad who probably wants to get her name out there for exposure and wouldn't have come forward if not for the opportunity to be featured in a major media outlet story.

I know I'll get negative comments, but the notion of military academies and military colleges having to go through accreditation is ridiculous.
I have been told that Harvard has no accreditation....
You should probably go back to your room and study for some class...since you appear to know everything, maybe when you go out on your 1st sea tour you can teach the chief and captain a few things...
I don't know much about anything. All I did was express an opinion based on what I read in the Washington Post. I didn't know that 'knowing everything' was an implication of expressing an opinion. What I do know is that article presents the school in a negative light, and the lady in it appeared to be happy to assist in dragging the school's name through the mud.
The way I feel about this is, the lady was groped in a vehicle by a chief mate, who is not an employee/agent/even affiliated with the academy, MARAD, DOT, etc. Why is it a problem with the Merchant Marine Academy? It's more like a problem with that specific individual in that company. If that isn't it, then it's an issue with that company or the US flagged fleet in general.
And again, a code word? When you know you're sending people into situations they need a code word for sexual assault... You have a problem.
13 years after last sailing and I still know what Red over Red means. Would be somewhat funny to see someone run two balls up the Wiley flagpole during homecoming....
(Red over Red = "Captain's Dead"/not under command)
Admiral Greene's tenure was a plateau on a much longer downward arc for KPTwo black balls flew on the Wiley flag pole the morning after Rear Admrial Greene left. The days he left was the beginning of the downward spiral.
