There is a mix of civilian and military officers on the faculty.
The US Mystery Service exists only at KPIs the US Maritime Service (USMS) still in existence onboard KP? Or has that moved to be MARAD.. . . .
I used "MARAD staff" as an umbrella term, because I admit to not wanting to attempt to explain "USMS." MARAD is where the federal pay comes from, so I used it in the same way I would say MSC mariners are "DON" employees. I had 4 tours with MSC while on AD, and recall trying to explain "USMS" and the insignia to other naval officers.Is the US Maritime Service (USMS) still in existence onboard KP?

This is kind of wrong. I believe all of the Active Duty officers have rotated off of the academic faculty in the last year. Naval Science is staffed by AD folks, but thats it. The rest are MARAD employees.
The chaplain is usually an AD Navy officer. The doc is usually USPHS officer, I think.
Sometimes there were NOAA officers walking around in their Navy-looking-but-different-insignia uniforms.
The US Mystery Service exists only at KP
My experience with Patten is minimal, thankfully. I spoke to the PA once and he was great. I think m/n avoid Patten because if anything they are overly cautious (the opposite of your experience), there's paperwork and it can be time consuming. I don't want any new parents to fear their kid won't be well cared for.
The Humanities and English depts employ civilian faculty.
