Anyone know when grades will be posted?

I'm suprised they still make you take a CFA. There's no such thing as I.T. anymore here.

Come fix my heater in Rogers. If the windows are closed, it turns into a steam room in my room, and it freezes if the windows are open too long. I also love communicating with my neighbors through the walls because they are paper thin. I guess its smarter to keep rooms empty in nicer companies...

As a Deck Major, I can tell you the big difference is that Deck Majors have to take tests upon their return to KP. Usually these are a big percentage of what makes up your grade for each subject. All the subjects have tests upon your return except the Engine project. I can tell you off the top...

A duffel bag or seabag is probably the best. Put all items in ziploc bags.

Yeah I would just ask your parents to ship it in the mail to your box.

You won't be practicing during Indoc. The best thing to do is contact the coach and ask if he/she can hold on or store your equipment during Indoc. Last year the DI's did not really say anything about what shoes candidates were wearing. If you have a brand that is better support than the one...

Yes, you get your first overnight liberty. I believe you are free to leave right after the the Acceptance Ceremony, correct me if I'm wrong if its a later time.

i'd be careful what you say. if you know the mission statement upon getting there, just keep it to yourself. Theres no point in learning anything the summer before getting to USMMA, because like previously said, they will just quiz you are more ridiculous questions that aren't even relevant to...

a 5th company will be created.

you can, but i wouldnt. you don't need advil/tylenol for Indoc. its not hard, I made it through without sick-chitting and staying under the radar. If you really need that stuff, Patten will provide it. just wait till the school year starts and you'll feel the challenge of the academics, thats...

The information was given to me by a future 1st classmen with an officer position who talked to one of the CO's. Many companies were asked to provide around 80 bunks for the incoming plebes per company, when most can only provide 50-54 bunks without kicking anyone out. With so many people coming...

dont worry, alot of people think its lame, but you'll be suprised to see how many people actually use them. Same goes for sick-chits, I hated those kids that milked all of Indoc. I dont have the exact number, but its around 370. Admissions sends out around 600 or so blue folders. They expect...

Yes you do, sometime in the middle of Indoc, you will visit the range. From what I've heard Indoc is getting a bit more comforting as the year goes on. With IT gone, I've also heard this year they will have something called "stress cards", which West Point and Annapolis use as well. From what...

1) Like previously said, this is a MERCHANT Marine academy. Yes, it has the regimental life. Plebes, rates for each class, officer positions, uniforms, parades, saluting, the whole nine yards. It may not be strictly regimented, but it defientely has that regimental aspect. 2) You can use...

"81. Fourth class may use the straps on their backpacks. BOTH straps must be used. " Directly from the SOC

honestly, another privledge that is being changed this year is wearing your backpack to class since they issued us regular backpacks this year instead of the usual briefcase-looking kp bags.

its kindof like a few hours of indoc all over but everyone is just having fun....alot of team unity activities...mudpit...flour, eggs, mustard, ketchup, shaving cream sprayed all over you. the best feeling since i arrived here over 8 months ago. it is defientely a great day.

Ok, seriously....do NOT worry about taking extra courses before coming here....when i was a senior in high school i took very little calculus. I came here willing to learn and pulled out A's in Calc 1 and 2. The classes are going to be difficult at times and you might have professors that are...

if the plebes did anything that was "killer" it would end up with many people getting stuck for it. thats why nothing can be done to really impress the 1/c.
