Fuji- drove by MMA about 3 hours ago in a light snow (just got off the boat from Nantucket)- looking a little grey today but lots warmer than a couple of days ago!:biggrin:
I assume that the Sea Term will be starting in a week or two- What ports will they be calling on this winter?
Maybe you could summarize for us- what is the daily schedule of a Cadet on cruise?

Bruno,

Our cadets will be going to Miami, Curacao and Tortola.

Shows pictures and stories from their adventures. Even though they have yet to set sail - you can see from the blog posts on that site that the cadets are busy - everyday!

Very cool blog from Cadet 1/C Kleister. Wish I was going with them- gotta be a lot warmer in Tortola than in Massachusetts or anywhere else on the Eastern Seaboard right now:thumb: I especially like this quote- kind of sums up your leadership and professional training at the Academy:
"The 1/C cadets are piloting, maintaining, and running the entire ship. This is one of the highest moments of the Academy’s “Learn-Do-Learn” system. We’ve been learning these past 4 years how to perform all these tasks and how to be a good leader. As a 1/C rate on sea term, we get to really perform the “Do” portion among and for our peers and teachers."
