Luigi - From my own perspective (parent of 2 boys currently at USMMA), Admiral Worley was always very pleasant on a personal level, but I think overall, he was not a great fit. From the start he was walking into a tough situation. Adm Stewart was well liked by the Mids, as well as parents and alumni. So right off the bat, there was a wariness about Adm Worley. Additionally, I think sometimes Adm Worley contributed to this, intentionally or not. For example, at the Beat Retreat program (which is a very major deal, especially for Band Co), he did not speak at all - no comments, no congratulations to the Band for their hard work/efforts, etc. Ditto on Acceptance Day - he administered the oath to the Plebes, but not a word of encouragement beyond "welcome aboard." I know that many parents were taken aback by the lack of any outward displays of enthusiasm or recognition for how hard the Plebes and Mids actually work.
As far as feelings from the student body, my older son, a 1st Classman, had previously expressed the view that "they are ruining my school." From my conversations with him, it seems a prevalent view that things had become a little too "loose" in several areas where the regiment is concerned, and that this looseness would in the long run be detrimental to the school.
As to the Plebes, I don't think they have been around long enough to really form any objective opinion; all they know is what they have experienced over the last 4-1/2 months.
That said, I repeat what I had previously posted about Adm Worley's departure. I thank him for his service and I do believe he was genuinely interested in improving Kings Point. I wish him and his family well, and I hope that the next Superintendant is a good, long term fit, for the benefit of the Academy and the students.
