I saw the photos of graduation yesterday. It looks like the class of 2013 paid tribute to their classmate, Marisa Sanchez. Does anyone have details?

marjasse, I sent you a PM

DS went to The Basic School at Quantico with a graduate from USNA. He was a great guy and a great officer but during his time at the Naval Academy he had spent a total of 6 days at sea.(4 of them were on shore leave.) If you choose to go to KP and if you graduate you will have accrued more than...

LOL, We rented a truck. (a van would have been a better choice.) BEWARE this stuff takes up a lot of room and never leaves. My DS is in Camp Pendelton, his crap is still in my garage.

We got together with some other members of our parents club and rented a car and a driver. It was expensive but we split the cost and in the end it was well worth it. The ride home was a bit of a blur. :shake:

My DS lost his grandfather during sea year as well and I understand what you are going through. We contacted the Chaplain's office at KP and they got the message to his ship. The Captain and The Chief Engineer sat him down and delivered the news. Unfortunately the ship was undergoing maintenance...

Good luck 2012!!!!

Congratulations 2015!

Well said. My DS could not be more proud of his Alma Mater. In fact, he could not wait to tell me that the USNA graduate in his company had a total of six sea days and four of them were spent on shore leave in New York.

DS went active duty and had no problems at all.

The uniforms are similar to USNA but not identical. Most of the time he will be wearing khakis. I am not as familiar with the Air Force program as some of the other parents. The Air Force appears to have only recently "discovered" KP, but he will get his commission on graduation day and then go...

If you are going to commission into the Air Force you will continue to wear the USMMA uniforms until graduation. You will wear Air Force Blues at graduation and will take the oath of office as an Air Force 2nd Lt. as part of the ceremony.

My DS swore by Friendly Cab Company. He said their rates were the best.

If you can't manage to attend PLC because of scheduling conflicts you can attend OCC after graduation. I recommend going in the Summer if possible. In the Winter it looks like this. http://www.ocs.usmc.mil/?dest=images&archive=yes&subset=C%20Co1&layer3=G

Dw came across this. I had not seen it before so i thought I would share. http://www.army.mil/-news/2011/04/14/54975-army-reserve-merchant-marine-academy-conduct-joint-training/

Accept the fact that there will not be time to do all that is required of you. This is intentional. You must learn to prioritize. Given the choice between shining your shoes and studying for an exam.......STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!

My son's class had about 20 set backs and I never heard of them being treated differently. Neither have I heard of any stigma be attached to setbacks. He simply referred to them as his classmates. Now, he refers to them as his fellow alumni.

All kings Point graduates are required to accept a commission as an officer in the U.S. Military either as an Ensign in the Navy Reserve or on active duty. I think that this requirement is what makes KP a "service academy." If something happens during your stay and you are declared "not...

This is anecdotal but I can tell you that three KP grads from the class of 2010 graduated from the Marine Corps Officers Candidate Course last week. This course routinely loses about one third of the class over a ten week period. The Kings Pointers not only completed the course but two of them...
