    Cadet shipping on Crowley ATBs

    I realize that for cadet shipping at USMMA it must be a company with embarc provisions in place. The only company that operates ATBs and complies with embarc is Crowley. Anyone have any experience or know if it is possible to sail on an ATB for a portion of second sailing? My atr was rather...

    Is math at USMMA no calculator, calculator allowed, or a mix of both?

    I am working through the practice problems assigned for math prep for the incoming class of 2026, and so far they seem rather trivial if you are allowed to use a calculator. As a result, I was wondering what the format of the classes would be when it came to calculators being used, and if it...

    IRR status while enrolled

    Are you considered an active duty reservist when at USMMA? What are you considered in your 4 years at the academy? I'm definitely confused.

    Earrings for males

    I found in the MIDN Uniform Regulations that earrings are not allowed whenever in uniform, which makes sense. However, what is considered "in uniform?" Is there ever a time when one could wear studs for example? I am not very knowledgeable, so forgive me if this seems like an idiotic question.

    How do backups work if you accepted appointment?

    I accepted my appointment to KP, but also got into my number 2 and 3. Is there a way to essentially "half-commit" in case something that could rescind my appointment like a sports injury occurs so that I can still attend college in the fall if the worst does happen?

    PT expectations for plebes

    What should someone in moderate shape expect PT wise? Is it mostly running? What are some good ways to prepare for someone who can only comfortably run 2-3 miles?

    How do appointments come

    I received LOA that stipulated I just needed my nomination to receive an appointment. My portal updated to show I do have a nom, and I was wondering how appointments are sent, are they via email, via phone, via snail mail? I just want to make sure I know where to look as I screen all callers not...

    Mailing signed loa

    It says that the loa must be signed and sent back within 15 days, but does this mean postmarked and sent by that date, or must the academy be in possession of the signed document by that day?

    Coffee machines

    I am essentially a caffeine addict due to the hours that I work, and was wondering if you are able to have coffee machines in dorms or in common areas? I know some schools consider some appliances fire hazards and was wondering if you are allowed to have one at KP?

    Importance of principal nom?

    I was told today by my local representative's office that since only 3 people were seeking nomination for USMMA, I'd be guaranteed a nomination. She said however that we would be compared against each other for a "principal nomination". What exactly does this mean? And what importance does this...

    CFA Scores

    I passed my CFA, but I feel that I barely passed. Is there any way to see the actual score besides just the giant PASS in the portal? BB Throw: 69 Pull Ups: 9 Shuttle: 8.7 Sit Ups: 33 Push Ups: 41 Mile: 7:37 I feel that I should have failed off sit ups alone, just curious.

    Application just says "Yes" for nomination, but I just filled out the application

    Just filled it out on the first day possible, and in my status it says yes for nomination. Is this most likely an error? I have not even spoken with my congressman yet.
