    Off-campus party houses?

    Drinking and causing a nuisance by adults in the rental or those under 21 will face consequences by local law enforcement (jail time and fines). In some Cities, nuisance laws extend to lease holders, so parents can be fined and the landlord, who can also be fined, if the house becomes a...

    A confession to make ...

    Yes! I do not believe that any faith has it over another.

    A confession to make ...

    Well, this discussion is interesting. IMHO, one common theme is GOD. I do not think that any one religion has the "only" or "one" God, rather what every one of us on this wonderful planet, believing or have faith in the same....(not sure what to name). Many wars would not begin if all felt...

    Health Insurance letter

    Not that different from USMMA 2010 grads. Mine was under my insurance health and dental. My state allowed children that were full time college students up to the age of 25 to be covered. The other Academys have the students covered under the military, USMMA is not military, thus, no health...

    A Call to Action

    I am a (very proud) parent of a recent graduate and my father also graduated from USMMA a long time ago. I do not often post anything, but this issue has me wanting to reach out to the women currently at USMMA. My heart goes out to those in the regiment, especially the women who uphold the...

    Sea Year Phone/Communication

    On another note, phone calls home were not very often and from me, not expected. It is part of what this whole experience entails. Whenever my children were away, I never insisted they call home. No news is good news in my book. I expect them to take care of themselves and knew that they had...

    Sea Year Phone/Communication

    My cadet purchased a phone while in port (shared cost with sea partner) then different sym cards could be purchased from what ever port (country) she was in. This seemed to be very economical. Other than that, I don't know the details. It seems that for the length of time they are gone, phone...

    "As we know, because we all read the thread here talking about how females handle pregnancy now in the academies...head to Highland Falls Planned Parenthood and have an abortion or go home on leave till they're not "with child"...will that change or will only one class of Cadet have to adhere to...

    DADT repeal vote

    I understand we will disagree. No problem with that. Perhaps, as I mentioned, some will remain uncomfortable. It is happening now, however, the gay person cannot let on that he or she is gay. With the change, bunk mates may freely let each other know what their sexual orientation is...

    DADT repeal vote

    I agree, I do not believe the study was to decide and outcome, rather to inform implementation. As many of our rights have changed, so this falls in place. Non-landowners, women, blacks, etc. should all receive equal rights in our society and the should include the military. Most likely that...

    ICYRA Rankings Out - USMMA On The Rise Back to Prominence

    Good luck to the dingy team. Do you know any reason why the off-shore team has not participated in local regattas this spring?

    Arizona Governor signs new immigration law, Obama disagrees with the states rights?

    I disagree with those supporting this law. I do agree that this is complicated problem and that it is not entirely the fault of the illegal immigrants or their families. For those who say that it is not a big deal to show papers/ID when I have done nothing wrong, I strongly disagree. I detest...
