    General Questions for 2021

    For Indoc next week, I know you're supposed to bring as little as possible so you don't have very much to deal with when you are received. However, I was wondering about taking things that aren't on the list. I want to take a headlamp (always super handy, and I have to imagine it would be nice...

    General Questions for 2021

    Thanks Beyond, this is what I'm looking for. Is the compensation good, despite only working half the days out of the year? ( I understand being on a ship 24/7 is different than a 9 to 5, so the comparison of only working half the days out of the year doesn't mean you are at work less than 9 to 5...

    General Questions for 2021

    One of my questions is regarding employment after graduation. I've looked around, but there is such a wide range of opportunities upon graduation, I can't seem to find a true "average" or "normal" job. What do a lot of graduates do? I hear schedules can be out at sea for a month, three, or...

    5 days left of CPR!!!

    I'm fairly certain that they have both accepted. I am waiting until April 15th to accept the USMMA appointment. Best of luck to your DS, CPR is a special type of purgatory!

    5 days left of CPR!!!

    Rlmilitarymom, I'm also from Nevada. District 2, around the Reno area. Just so you know, I'm aware of 2 USNA appointments in the area, one being 4 houses down from me (what are the chances! He's a friend of mine and well deserving), and a student at a high school nearby. I'm currently CPR for...

    GPA and chances

    Would be very interested if anyone could confirm would jkim123 said above. I know that for me, developing interest in the academies pretty late in the game left me with a GPA that I know no admissions officer is happy about! However, it is a Whole Candidate Score. Lovahboy, I don't know if...

    What does CPR even mean at this point?

    As someone who has had an application for both West Point and Annapolis in for some time, and is still waiting on a CPR status, I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one. This forum is certainly good for receiving peace of mind and knowing that you aren't alone. I think I speak for almost all of...

    Hey, saw your reply in the USMMA appointment thread. Huge congratulations, that's really awesome. I was wondering if you would mind sharing your GPA, SAT/ACT, and extracurriculars; just curious to see how I stack up!

    Is USMMA right for me?

    Thanks for your response Beyond, this is the sort of information I was looking for. If I may ask, what was life for you like after graduation?

    Is USMMA right for me?

    BuckeyeGuy, Thank you for your response. I know I'm completely capable of applying myself at the academy. In high school my parents never did nag me. They let me make my own decisions. However, I only did what I felt (using my flawless teenage reasoning, of course) was relevant to my goals...

    Is USMMA right for me?

    Hello, I have been a lurker on this thread for a while and picked up a lot of good information. Truthfully, I didn't have much interest in the Merchant Marine Academy until I received a nomination for the academy in December. I have completed my package recently (put it off for too long), and...
