Given that in 2011, President Obama has signed a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" regarding the Military.....what is the current official position of The USMMA?.....for both applicants and current Mids. I am only asking, knowing the institution is not a military academy, but the midshipman...

Can Midshipman shop for uniforms and accessories at a full blown Navy Exchange in the U.S.? (in addition to the smaller "Ships Store" on campus.)

My question is posted here for input and response by current or former midshipman. The term Setback here is referring to the noun, the person...The Setback. In the interest of full disclosure, I have heard (yes, those nasty rumors again) that Setbacks are treated much less than...

Hey guys, On a lighter note. ...... I notice on the top of the SA Forums page the pics of the different student/cadets/midshipmen etc. in uniform. What uniform is the left most pic? It looks to be a Navy blue/black version of the "choker" white. Is that something the USMMA has...

Dumb Question Alert!! Anyone know where current course descriptions, for the courses at KP, can be found online? :redface: Good Grief.........I found them here: http://www.usmma.edu/admissions/PDFs/Catalog4.pdf :redface:

Has 2010 Parent's Weekend been confirmed for September 3,4,5? The only thing I can find is listing it as "tentative" Thanks!

Hi everyone, Another surprise came in the mail yesterday. Our DS received a nasty letter from the U.S. Selective Service System. He turned 18 in September (after reporting to KP in the summer at 17.) Bottom line; we received bad advice from mulitple people including parents and alum...

A friend of mine posted this on a local BBS regarding our school system. Listen to it and imagine how some minor modifications would make it fit perfectly for implementation at KP! :shake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C5Rnb7J3sU&feature=player_embedded

Anyone out there know ANYTHING about what the big screw up was at the ceremony for the M/N that lost their lives in WWII?.....our guy is telling us the Plebes have been busted and are now Plebe Candidates again? I truly would like to understand. Thanks!

What a difference a week makes !! or not... The Mariners just had a chance to win the game in regulation, but the kick for a 35 yard field goad, with .9 seconds on the clock, was wide right.....aaarrrgghhhh now we go to overtime. I am watching this on the webcast/internet.....looks like...

Hey, on the CG site, there is little discussion about a somewhat higher than normal disenrollment rate, so far, this year. The whole flu / respiratory thing is being named as just one of the culprits. Does anyone out there have reliable stats for how many we have lost so far? Or, are...

How is the travel reimbursement, for travel to the Academy (Candidate Reporting) handled. 1- How/Where to request? 2- When/how is it paid? 3- Is there a deadline for submission? .......I cannot find anything on the USMMA website or in the paperwork left over from the boy reporting in...

Anyone disappointed in the 2009 USMMA placement(s) on the Forbes rankings? I seem to remember KP being higher in the past few years? :eek:

Ok all you "experienced" folks, I would like to ask a question. What is the typical atmosphere for a KP home football game? Fan and fan participation vary all over the map. Just wonder if KP is a loud and active group or are they a "wine and cheese" group...as we call the quiet crowds in...

Hey everyone.....with most of us '13'ers now communicating with our DS/DD via email............. thought I'd share one exchange with mine: Essentially, I told him about the "new Sheriff" and how he expects the upper classmen to give back a little more. One way they are being asked to do...

(If this was already on here.....I could not find it..... seemed like a very good perspective from a knowledgable parent) Good to pass along to upperclass members? Post from the College Confidential site responding to Captain Fell's latest update...

Commandant Fell has communicated to parent associations that the quarantined company members will be allowed to call home today and report status to parents.......

Does anyone know what uniform the newly minted Plebe Candidates will be wearing in September for Acceptance Day?

We are very very very early in the class of 2013’s journey. A couple of bumps in the road have been communicated regarding flu virus, a quarantined company, dehydration etc. etc. These are more than likely not new experiences faced by the qualified and competent staff at Kings Point...
