Like it was said before if you are looking to take electives USMMA is definitely not for you. The only way you can really take electives is to be either straight engine or straight deck, but even then there is very few electives most of which are not the type of electives you would want to take...

Lol this reminds me even a couple years ago, if you lost the or broke the two name tags that were given to you at the start of Indoc, it would take Atleast a month to get new ones.

Got in and graduated with 27 in math, 22 in science, 24 in English, and 22 in reading. Doesnt matter as much as you think. They care more about the overall person

the value of the education is literally priceless. I remember when I was applying, I thought it was too good to be true. Free education basically and 6 figure pay right after graduation. I really didn’t believe it. And honestly there’s probably people on this forum that still doubt it. Here is a...

It’s gonna be tough for you to hear this, but as a current third mate. The watch system at KP is very valubable even though it seems stupid. I will say it prepares you for those hard arrivals or departures during the day or at random times throughout the day (much like the school day) then...

A few years ago I found out via call from my coach. The service was terrible at the academy at the time; it’s gotten a lot better. I just heard a jumbled up voice saying “check your portal” sure enough I checked it out and I was accepted! I’ll never forget that day!

When I attended there was “midshipman fees” that was a few grand the first year and less the next two years then the same as plebe year for your senior year. This included things like laundry and hair cut expenses, and it was mandatory to be paid. I’d say this came out to about 7,000$ thru the...

It is possible to be in the reserves in any branch out of KP, but really Navy SSO is the only viable option if you want to sail. In my time at the academy, I didn’t see many people at all do anything outside of Navy Reserves but I know it’s possible. I think it all comes down to the flexibility...

I was being sarcastic. The average MIDN Prob consumes 200mg a day

Caffeine is a rarity at KP. I saw very few people drink it.

You cannot technically have a car on campus til senior year which you can park in a lot just outside the gate. However, sophomores and juniors typically find places to park their car off campus but walkable distance.

Once you get to the Academy, I highly recommend you quit smoking week. You will be drug tested within 48 hours of your arrival to indoc. Plus throughout the year there are random drug tests that happen as well as premployment drug tests for sea year. You will get caught, and the academy and navy...

Nothing you’ll be at USCGA or another service academy in a couple years and wish you spent more time with your family. Trust me.

This case honestly has nothing to do with alcohol. Alcohol does not change your moral compass. If the perpetrators was willing to do it under the effects of alcohol whos to say that he wouldn’t do it without alcohol? How many of you people have got drunk and thought it was okay to rape someone...

You would have to be very stupid at KP to walk out with 6k of debt.

I agree with you she should have reported it. And as a previous midshipman and cadet, we gone through several trainings and briefs on how to report it and the types of reporting (restricted or unrestricted). Also the SAT phone with the weekly checkins is exactly what this for. however, I can...

A lot of men out there don’t have families and havent had much success with women ever in their life. It’s kind of sad but that’s what I’ve experienced out there as a man viewing the ship as a whole. So I can imagine as a woman this is definitely problematic to be trapped on a ship with people like this

Honesty is the best policy. In the future, you will be most definitely be subject to more random drug tests so be careful with what you ingest in the future

This is truly amazing

Go to Kings Point then. You will receive way more knowledge on being a ships officer and mariner
