I know of a few mids here at KP that went to both EOD cruise AND SOAS. If you want it, it's there for you. Keep up good grades and stay out of trouble. The Naval Science Dept. will fight tooth and nail for you as long as you keep your record clean.

They do! Typically country music but they sprinkle other genres in at times.

I heard from MOC months before Senators but I also came from a very very small congressional district.

Current Plebe here. One of my shipmates just stated the KP Boxing club this year. In addition, you'll do a bit (like 2-3 days) of boxing and sparring in self-defense class. The club supplies gear and will teach you how to box. Good luck with your appointment!

The cool thing about KP as opposed to USNA or ROTC is that you aren't stuck with the Navy. You can go Army, Air Force, Space Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Civilian, etc. KP has more opportunities after graduation than any other service academy or ROTC program. Additionally, you get 300+ days of...

It would be worthwhile to note that your chances are much higher to get a rated slot from the Navy than from the Air Force here at KP. Air Force treats KP as a ROTC program so you're competing nationwide with other AFROTC cadets to get a slot. They are very competitive. If you want to be a Naval...

Congrats on your LOA! Getting one this early must be a huge relief.

They do but I've never heard anyone call them that. It's scary how closely the school's chicken parm resembles a big scab.

Good Afternoon SAF, I have been scanning the forums in search of inspiration for spirit missions here at Kings Point. I've found it rather desolate. Although I have many plans for my own spirit missions, and have already hatched a few, I would like to hear about your spirit missions while at...

There will be a tear gas chamber. There's plenty about it all across YouTube.

I wrote mine just like any other college essay. I'd recommend starting by making a list of all the reasons you'd like to go to USMMA. "I want to attend the United States Merchant Marine Academy at King's Point because..." From here you go into detail about each of your reasons and state...

Had some further thought on this and the other guys are right. If you aren't solid about your choice to attend USAFA, don't go. The only ones who make it through BCT are the ones who want to be there more than anyone else.

It was great when I went for an overnight visit. I've heard that it's not that great but it's free food so why's it matter!?

My dad went to USAFA wanting to be a pilot. His eyes weren't good enough so they turned him down. His second choice was med school. He wasn't even in the med school track and still made it from USAFA. If you want to go to USAFA and be a doctor, it is 100% achievable. Put the hard work in and...

Regardless of what punishments they come up for me, I'll still smile, laugh, and have the time of my life at summer camp! Oh how wonderful it is to be so jaded :)

Ended up finding a pair that works. Thank you all so much for the advice!! V/R Hatchet

Good Evening, One of the items on the list includes predominately white running shoes. I tried to find some Brooks that were all white but they're difficult to find. What shoes do you all, current mids and alumni, recommend? I don't wear Nike as they typically run narrow and I have wide feet...

They didn't even get the majors right. They obviously did not do any sort of research.

I am VA-01 and still waiting as well.
