former Prep Candidate for the USMMA.
My son attended NMMI last year as a Prep Candidate for the USMMA. He just started classes today in the Class of 2011.
With regards to extra clothes, your daughter should bring some extra light clothes. The weather at Kings Point is warm and humid this time of year. She can give them back to you when you attend the parent’s open house in a few months
While at NMMI, she will have little use for street clothes. During her stay, they (NMMI) require her to wear a uniform on and off the post.
While at Kings Point, the Academy will treat your daughter well. The Academy will assign her to a female Plebe that attended NMMI last year. She will bunk with them and have a sample of Academy life. My son felt this was helpful, and it provided an opportunity to find out about the experience they will have at NMMI. Your daughter might tour the harbor or have an ice cream social with the other Prep Candidates. This along with several lectures detailing the Academy’s expectations of your daughter.
I know you will have more questions about NMMI, so feel free to contact me.
Hope to see you next year.
