Drugs...........it's just different. You can lump alcohol together with drugs, but you know you will be wrong. Officers call at the 'O' Club........way different than doing lines, smoking weed. And today, that **** can have deadly things laced in it. My expertise at underage drinking came from...

My son had a minor incident very early at academy. It was handled by his company (midshipman) and discipline was in-house. Could have been a whole lot worse. Yes 100% under age drinking is still wrong. I was an expert at it, maybe that made it easier to abstain when threat of punishment was...

Parents/Students: there are many cases over the last 100+ years involving alcohol and military school students. Some tragic, most end with discipline, maybe extra duty, kind of a 'time out' if you aren't following me. Cases involving drug use, possession or sale end way worse. Almost always...

Skippy, I'd rather him stay right up on that high horse.......instead of swimming in the mud with those spring breaking idiots in Fort Lauderdale.

Parents/Students..........DO NOT use recreational drugs BEFORE & DURING your time enrolled at military schools or during active service, reserve time included. There ! Somebody said it, because some of you must think there is still an option to be stupid, commit a crime, and use drugs. Those...

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. That should have/ could have been the answer to AdamKokes first post.

I believe that ALL KP/NMMI sponsored preps are GUARANTEED spots at KP as long as the student passes whatever academic criteria is required, along with character endorsements (no notable bad guy incidents,etc) Am I making a wrong assumption in my previous sentence ??

Curious...where in FL did you process. Fort Lauderdale was quick and painless a few years ago, and I have a new student who is about to apply for his. Thanks for the heads up.

Correct answer USMMA "falls into" the US NAVY. All mids carry USNReserve ID cards. This is not a perfect answer, but is more accurate than the moderators reply.

Wrong School !!! My DS '15 was overnight guest of 3 USNA mids a few months ago. After answering their questions about KP, sea year, license, multiple options upon graduation.......two of the three declared that they were at the wrong school. Gave him a warm fuzzy feeling. ("But dad, the Naval...

Voice of Reason Voice of reason........and I'm glad mine has his sea days completed. Prediction: one day, two days tops.:bang:

Payback Funny. My wise ass son made a 'big boy pants' comment in this thread a couple years ago. Well, Mr. Big Boy Pants sounded more like Big Baby a couple of months back, crossing the Atlantic, SEA SICK !!!!!!! Please, feel free to chime in, pile on, :biggrin:, whatever makes you happy. I...

PARENTS Class of 2013 Congrats to YOU too !!!! You have earned these good feelings. We are proud of your children and our new USA 2nd Lieutenants. From, Parent USMMA Class 2015 p.s. scoutpilot.....I stole your avatar.....but earned it too.

Academy Parents I agree with Christcorp post #197. Although my guess is that we USMMA parents may be worse, likely because many almost REFUSE to agree that USMMA students are sworn into the USNR and have to abide by a regimental code and system. But mostly......I just wanted to remind...

Christcorp.......worth following........and appreciate your candor, humility, and (mostly) common sense.

Air Force becoming part of 'The Military' Good show USAFA.:shake: Some 'tough guy' attitude adjusting is needed in ALL the service academies. Years before even my time......the toughest-smart guys from our towns would attend the academies. Now it is mostly just smart people. Sure, this post...

Please POST/REPLY any good information you may have concerning whether Kings Point will be up and running :confused: and ready to receive students to start the next trimester. Report day is Sunday, with classes scheduled to start Tuesday. Any ACCURATE information is appreciated. :thumb:

Luigi So few words, very wise, hit it out of the park immediately. The rest of you (alumni especially), pay attention.

Agreed The apparent lack of discipline and decency shown in the past weeks leaves me disappointed and fearful for my senior year. My son is 2015, and feels exactly like the poster above. Many of the OLD guys posting here, expressing shock and outrage towards the letter writer.........I'm...
