What are some of the most important things you have learned from your four years at USMMA? I spoke with an USNA alumni a week ago. He mentioned things such as: self-reliance, self-respect, respect for others, and teamwork. Opinions from parents and midshipmen are also welcome. Thank you.

I will look into what you have mentioned. Thank you very much.

My only issue is knowing what forms to provide to my teachers. As mentioned, I want to make this easy for them. I believe USNA and USMA will provide them with the forms once I give them my teachers e-mails. But I do not know how to provide my teachers with the forms for USMMA. Must I request...

I am in the process of asking my teachers for LORs. I am aware that USNA and USMA requires me to provide the e-mail addresses of my teachers, and then they will take care of it. However, I cannot figure out how USMMA handles LORs. I have an e-mail draft that will be sent to my teachers with...

I stopped taking the creatine 3 days before my examination. I kept taking protein shakes though. I only take 1 a day. I didn't exercise for 2 days before the test. I passed.

Earlier this morning I went to the clinic. From the start I'll let everyone know, I have bad vision. and during the test it didn't get any better. First came the visual acuity test, where with my blind right eye I could only read three lines down and with my better left eye six lines down. I...

I only found fault with me not knowing the acronym MMC, although my guess was pretty darn close:wink:. I will admit though, I do not know KP like any of its alumni or midshipmen; I have a lot to learn about the academy. What I do know is that being admitted to a Service Academy is my only chance...

Your resume looks good if your a sophomore, how many AP/Honors classes have you taken. Honestly, no one can answer the question if you will be admitted, but the chances increase with every decimal on your GPA, every number on your SATs, every extracurricular, every leadership position, and if...

I've been practicing, and it seems my throw has gained 5 feet, my throw is now 80ft. Yes, I heard from somewhere that the BB throw was for the purpose of determining how far one could throw a grenade. Funny actually.

Aviation is an extra curricular for me. I take it as learning a new skill. I am sure not everyone that gets admitted to USMMA has had the privilege to sail a boat. If I get admitted I will have no problem with learning to sail. I'm always open to learning new things, more power to me. The main...

I am always open to new experiences. What you say certainly sounds like a good idea. I will keep it in mind. It so happened that flying was the more convenient decision. There is an airport a few blocks from my home. My job is a few blocks from my home. I work to pay for fuel. But never would I...

MMC? I'm assuming that is some sort of sailing credential. Doesn't seem likely for me to get that, especially since I live hundreds of miles away from any coastline or lake.

You have time to change. My freshman year was spent in Mexico, where I lived for 14years of my life, and my grades were not perfect: 92 avergae. Although I was football captain that year. I moved to central PA for my sophomore year, this year was rough, It is hard to move into a different...

Plenty can be learned from flying that applies to sailing. Take charting for an example, I am positive that when sailing you plan where you are going and how you are planning to get there. You most likely use a chart/map for reference. The same goes for flying cross-country, I use a chart, I...

What about USMMA? Do they care much for the CFA? I know the CFA isn't a grand factor for admission, but I want to improve my chances wherever I can. USMMA is my first choice.
