CO gas Since the CO disapated so quickly, it must be the A splitters getting used to the food from Delano. Food on the ships didn't give them the gas.:biggrin:

They can go out after graduation, but then they don't get to graduate with their class even though they have done everything they were supposed to do.

You say that "not enough sea days is easily preventable", but not always so when your own academy loses your paperwork to get your Coast Guard card you need to sail on and you lose 4 valuable weeks of sailing time.

Do you have an idea how much taxi's are or are they reliable from the Marriott to the Long Island Marriott? We are taking the rest of the family to NYC for a few days after indoc starts and did not want to rent a car in the city, so thought we could taxi back and forth to KP and then train into...

There are four hotels listed on the site. Does anyone know if any of these are near the train? Thanks!

From the USMMA website page admissions section, http://www.usmma.edu/admissions/reps/default.htm you can click on your state and get a number of local representatives. I emailed about 10 of them and a couple got back to me very quickly. If that does not work, email the admissions office.
