KP was my first choice. According to my parents I saw a Great Lakes ore boat on the Detroit river at age 4 and pointed at it and said I wanted to be on a ship. I wanted to go to Great Lakes Maritime until I learned about KP and then that was it. Been a great ride ever since sailing on some...

1.5 days only on training ships. Not sure how it works for cadets assigned to vessels that can count 12 hrs days as I never had to deal with that- I would assume the could get 1.5 like the rest of the crew. Regular commercial days are 1:1.

As of 2 years ago when I left the position of Director of Waterfront Operations and Training at KP we were using that matrix to count midshipmen sea time, and it had been pretty recently implemented. Midshipmen at all schools are getting 1.5 day when underway. For mids who were short days we...

Not sure you question makes sense. Hornbeck is about 2/3 through a multi year newbuild program. The new vessels come on line as they are launched. I work aboard one that was launched in August.

Take DP on your own- you can start getting the 30 familiarization days you need after that on the Kings Pointer. Most gulf companies won't hire you anymore without having already taken the basic class.

The pier should be finished by April. Kings Pointer should be at the dock before that, hopefully by mid-March.

There are ten RV spots at the Waterfront for graduation weekend, but they are all reserved 1-2 years in advance. There is no other spot on campus.

Hmmm- must have completely blocked that one out of my memory....

Ha! Launchpad.......

I'm wearing the old one right now, and will just leave the old one on rather than send the program office documents that I have already sent them.....

And if you are undecided and feel that you are more mariner than dancer- maybe check out this video from the Waterfront-

Just want to throw out there that there are a lot of alumni, faculty and staff that provide info and answers here that have a lot more institutional knowledge than probably exists on the parents only facebook pages.....
