The program may very well be a cop out. But it prevents "my daddy knows a senator". Unsavory as that rationale might be... Agreed. Probably a good thing, then, that it doesn't single out one certain gender nor one certain race. That just wouldn't pass the sniff test by anyone's standards.

LITS, I'm going to ask you not to play games with me. You went to the Academy, you served in the fleet, you know that sometimes you have to do stuff to make the boss happy. You do the Engineering round in a certain order because it makes MKC happy. You use a whistle for colors instead of a bos'n...

I'm going to limit my participation in this thread because it's already become a bit of a dogfight. But as a URM cadet who actually *gasp* made it through 4/c year, I just want to clarify a few things: Yes, ALANA is a mentoring program formally supported by the Academy. But it is not...

Again, there are one or two admissions programs that will pay/reimburse travel costs. The person who told you that USCGA was paying for airfare probably wasn't lying. But I would be lying if I told you that meant you would get the same thing. Depends on when you're trying to visit, whether...

There are one or two special programs that may reimburse travel costs, but in general I would plan to pay your own way to the Academy. Travel to R-Day is reimbursed, as it is travel related to military orders.

Because you guys were so much classier when you were here. Of Course. That's why you called a Commissioned Officer gay to his face... I came to this thread solely to try to back up KP's professors. Considering the childish reaction though, I think I'll leave.

Yep. Because I'm not going to sink to your level while I do so. LITS: It's a rather one-sided rivalry :thumb:

In all seriousness let's keep the KP-CGA rivalry to other places. It's not like we don't snipe back and forth enough as it is.

For my part, I don't know of anyone who actually uses RateMyProf... my guess is that most of the people who do use it are on there because they have an axe to grind with someone. Although this is from the USCGA side, it probably applies to the USMMA side as well.

I've been lurking around here for nearly a year now, but realized I never properly introduced myself. I'm a 4/c Cadet at the Coast Guard Academy, in literally every diversity org here, and playing lacrosse in the spring. I'll be around, mainly trying not to pick any fights and answering...

Christcorp I do agree with you, my issue comes mainly with those who cannot separate the desire from actively living the lifestyle (as if there were only one, but then again that discussion would merit its own thread). Too often I have seen people react as if they are one and the same. I've seen...

Sadly, not even close to being the truth. How else to explain children raised in strongly religious families who have been taught all their lives that homosexuality is evil or immoral who later in life end up coming out the closet (sometimes at the cost of being disowned by their family)?

I haven't been contacted at all about an interview. I've only just sent in the other documents (within the last week), so will it be long until they contact me about one?

By AAU, I mean a travel team outside of school.

I'm applying to AFROTC, and I wanted to know if the PFA can be administered by an AAU coach or if I have to take it at my high school. Also, if I have submitted everything else they requested, would my application be boarded provisionally or would it not be processed until I submitted my PFA...
