    Midshipman 1/C Sam Monella 2020

    Heard the other day that the Crystal Enterprises staff learned that 3/4ths of them are to be let go after the food provider contract changes over. They happened to learn this just before this 'incident'. I've been very wary of any food being served in delano lately. Pb&Js have kept me afloat.

    Thought I would introduce my DD :)

    But it is a much better place to be from. ;)

    Acceptance rate

    Take it with a grain of salt, as I have only heard through unofficial sources, but I believe KP tries to diversify their geographical representation in the regiment. So if you're from a state without many applicants, as long as you meet the minimum standards, you have a greater chance of being...

    Chance of admission?

    Hey! I got in with like a 3.4 unweighted GPA. I was a captain of a sports team for a couple years in high school and my ACT score was much higher than I think I deserved, but I was genuinely surprised to get an offer from KP. That being said, sure it would not be a bad idea to partcipate in a...

    Not in Band Company...

    Band Co is looking to bring in more plebes that are musically talented right now. They’re instructing the DI’s to ask their candidates if they’d be willing to join band co after indoc. Seems likely he’d be accepted into Band Co.

    Laptop

    If ALL of the specifications are adequate, you should be fine NOT buying an academy laptop/tablet. You just have to turn it into the DoIT at the academy for them to format it/put their software on it. Weird how there is not specific instructions regarding this. Worst case they make you buy the...

    exactly how does one go active duty from USMMA

    I spoke to the guys who went to airborne school in my class. Two out of the three got ‘honor cadet,’ which I think is what you’re talking about, because im pretty sure thats what the most recent guy recieved as well. The award is given to the top graduate who is in a direct commissioning...

    2023 Tablet/Laptop Issue

    The Latitude is a solid machine, but DoIT still manages to bog it down immensely with their background software. I still think this effect would be tenfold on a tablet with less processing power.

    After USMMA Appointment Acceptance - Next Steps

    ALL electronics are considered contraband during indoc and are required to be turned over to the honor board staff during in-processing. If contraband is found throughout indoc it will be taken seriously. Not sure if any information has been sent out yet regarding this but I recommend having...

    2023 Tablet/Laptop Issue

    I’ve heard the touch response is slower than expected, and I assume it is because of the underlying processes DoIT has running in the background. I’ve specifically heard that running AutoCAD, a software needed for engineers in certain classes, is a frustrating process. Again, probably heavily...

    2023 Tablet/Laptop Issue

    Recently learned that 2023 is being issued Microsoft ‘Surface’ Tablets in lieu of traditional laptops. Several of my classmates have been participating in ‘trials’ using these tablets. To be concise, these tablets are AWFUL. They are barely up to standard for a midshipman to use in the...

    exactly how does one go active duty from USMMA

    Each branch has their own ‘application process’. They usually involve putting together another ‘application package’ of some sort for a board that grants the mid a commission and subsequent community. The ‘application packages’ are not difficult to procure, the hardest part is probably obtaining...

    INDOC - Can our DS bring protein supplements on his first day July 5th?

    Can’t give you a straight yes or no here but, as long as he doesn’t expect to have protein/supplements with him throughout indoc, it’s probably safe to bring them. Definitely would have to be able to store them somewhere until after Indoc. In all honesty, it probably isn’t worth the effort. A...

    Delano Food

    Anyone have any good horror stories about the food coming out of delano? Or any other input regarding the food service at KP? Not to bash it, but I’ve been severely disappointed in the meal output during my last 2-3 years at the academy. Even coming back from sea, where several of the ships I...

    What major for future active duty officer?

    I stand corrected. I misremembered the mid I was referring to as he was 1/C my plebe year. Turns out he was Engine. I was using the (false) example to convey that I’ve been told academic major does not necessarily affect an active duty billet. Good to learn that, in the case of Seabees, it does.

    What major for future active duty officer?

    I know Mids who majored in Marine Engineering Systems who went SWO, and I know Mids who majored in Marine Transportation (straight deck) who became seabees. Active duty does not necessarily care about what classes you are taking. You have Mids at USNA majoring in History going Subs, SWO...
