    Current Self Prep at Marion Military Institute- ask any questions!

    Thank you! I will be going to Florida Atlantic University to get my bachelors and will still be pursuing a coast guard commission through CSPI first and if that doesn't work out, then I will apply for a DCO because my degree is a STEM degree (Biology). And if that doesn't work out then I will...

    You will probably see me then! I am on battalion staff so I am easy to find in the PIR at 1200 formation! I am the last in the staff line! Come find me if you have any questions! I could also be walking around with a camera too.

    Unfortunately I did not receive an appointment again :( Three got accepted at Marion (they heard about a month ago) and everyone else that applied was waitlisted. I think maybe one other person also didn't get an appointment but I am not fully sure.

    Current Self Prep at Marion Military Institute- ask any questions!

    I am not 100% sure. I would contact both coaches at both schools to see. I do know that there are both sponsored and non-sponsored cadets at MMI that are currently playing sports. The rules just changed so that's why I am not 100% sure.

    They issue us our bedding that has to be on the beds but most kids sleep on top of that and then use a blanket. I would suggest a thicker blanket but not a comforter because that might be hard to store for inspections.

    If you google PT gloves, some good examples pop up and places to buy them. We wear them on the O course and then you can wear them in the mornings when it Is cold to PT.

    I use a Macbook air and I like it. I see a mix of different types of computers and tablets. Whatever you are comfortable using works well! You can also rent laptops from MMI!

    Yes! It is a required item. There are some at walmart and amazon. If you join the MMI parents facebook page, I saw that someone was selling one for very cheap.

    1) Yes cadets can have a car!! There will be a registration fee i think and some sort of sticker you will have to put on your car. There is more info about it on the website. 2) It meets on weekends during the first semester and is taught by someone from outside the school. You will take a...

    SA Prep School Question

    So far, all of the sponsored cadets that have heard back have received their appointments. I said 70-75 because some kids switched programs and decided to pursue other routes of commissioning such as rotc. It was also just a “feels like” guess. If I removed those cadets from my guesstimation...

    SA Prep School Question

    Hi! I am currently a self prep at MMI! I am guessing that out of our group of SAP cadets, around 70-75% have earned appointments. I haven't done the actual math for it, but I think it should be around that. I have a thread on the Prep school forums if you want to know any more specific things...
