    Homesickness - Help!

    G-Man'sMom, I posted this in July 09 when my DS was a Plebe. Hope it helps. It might be time for a little tough love. This story comes from a very dear friend. A few years ago he was at USNA. After about four weeks of plebe summer he had enough. Called dad and said I made a mistake and I want...

    USMMA's Accreditation "May Be In Jeopardy"

    I'm not sure why the administration even lets the mids go to sea any way. There is something much more DANGEROUS than any kind of harassment. It's called DEATH! Isn't the Maritime Industry one of the most dangerous jobs in the world? Maersk Alabama, Deep Water Horizon, El Faro, and CCNI...

    USMMA's Accreditation "May Be In Jeopardy"

    My DS started KP in summer of 2009. As I've watched things over the years it seems like most of KP's problems started when Ray LaHood took over the DOT. Now I know LaHood is gone but it seems like he was the beginning of the cancer. To the folks who were here before me what do you think? Luv2fly

    Any shot at MMA?

    cmakin, I'm not saying the NFO job is a bad job, not at all. The NFO job is a different mission. I'm guessing your classmate must have been assigned to the S-3 Viking, the A-6 Intruder, or the EA-6B Prowler. Those aircraft the NFO's sat in the front right seat. If my memories serves me...
