    Naval Training

    Do you want to Drive or Ride? I totally agree with kp2001. My DD is now a LTJG in the Active Duty Navy. The last 2 1/2 years have proven the advantage of an USMMA degree. The USNA Ensigns have had no more than 3-4 weeks do Observing at Sea per year at the Academy. They are Managers with...

    2 years SELF Prep My DD was a SELF Prep (unsponsored) for 2 years at NMMI graduating with an Associates Degree in Math and Science with Honors. She was not even aware of USMMA until she went there and met an adult sponsor who had graduated from USMMA. Her biggest advantage was that...

    Nmmi 2013-2014

    NMMI ACADEMICS and getting use to ACADEMY / MILITARY LIFE STYLE. You will NOT live like your buddies that are going to a 'regular' college. Academy Life is much, much more RESTRICTIVE. Certainly NOT unbearable, but vastly different. If you have been in JROTC in your high school...it...

    Land Legs

    I suffer from Vertigo and have the 'dizzies' most of the time anyway. I was concerned about going on my DD's Navy Destroyer Tiger Cruise 6 night, 7 days coming back from the Gulf Deployment this summer. My Vertigo Doc gave me the behind the ear patches. They worked GREAT on the sea from Hawaii...

    Senior graduation cruise

    Banquet - Grad Weekend If I remember correctly, I think the Banquet was catered off campus. Any 2011 attending, do you remember? Cocktail party and dinner was really good and more than enough to eat. Caution by some that attended Cruise was to eat dinner before you go. There is no dinner...
