I'll be applying to all of the maritime academies in the fall and will be at least 26 when I start and prior service. I would like to hear any insights you have on the older students. Right now I am leaning towards TAMUG or CMA because of the climate but if I only get into MMA, SUNY or Maine I will go. Right now I am leaning towards going Coast Guard after school. I will be pursuing a deck license and from what I can tell all the academies seem to be fairly equal reputation wise. Big things I'm looking for is not having to live in the barracks for another three- four years especially in a stripped down room, the weather and having a good sailing scene close by as I used up my eligibility my go round in college and want to race.
