A Year of Life as a Midshipman at USMMA

[kpmom2013]

I thought it might be time to post one of my favorite compilations of photos from Kings Point. It is from a project that includes one picture a day from third class year. It gives you an idea of what life is like both at the academy and during first sea year.

I said this the last time the video got posted, but there is plenty of stuff in that video that would get people fired, it really shouldn't be on the internet.

So can you clarify for somebody with not a lot of experience in this area? Are you talking job-related during the sea year portion of the video? I saw one area where it looked like paint or something in the water for instance. As a layman, I didn't see "plenty" of stuff that would get somebody fired.

2:34 - Camera on the bridge while underway/Something that I'm not going to point out to protect the ship.
2:40- Lashing bins improperly secured.
2:45 - On a pilot ladder without a PFD
2:57 & 3:02 - Pictures of a customer's cargo.
3:06 - Someone INSIDE of a customer's cargo.
3:16- Something else I'm not going to point out to protect the ship.
3:20- Video/Photo of cargo.
3:25- We're running the crane while holding the camera.

I would also venture that the Seabulk SMS prohibits the use of phones and cameras on the bridge underway, or when you're doing something dangerous running the deck lifter. I haven't read the Seabulk SMS so I won't count them. I'm sure I could find more if I watched it again. 2:45 and 3:06 are inexcusable.

The customer cargo stuff is a big deal. There is enough in that video that I can figure out which ship, which ports, and when cargo moved, if I'm a competitor this is useful. Also, if I'm BMW I have the expectation that cars won't be disturbed from Port of Load and Until Port of Discharge,, I don't random cadets sitting in them, scratching the paint, denting the doors, etc.

I understand all of these points but one, that being filming the loading of the cars (customer cargo). Bear with me if you don't mind but why exactly is that a bad thing?

Thank you for this... What a great compilation of their last year! And what a great thing to look forward to for the Plebes!!

Seems like it would be safer and better, if these are real issues, to contact the school directly rather than pointing it out here. By putting the times on the video in your post you bring undue attention. Seems like you may have violated rules in the course of you pointing out the violations. JS.
