tlswogh89,
You really are an idiot. Obviously you had some sort of traumatic experience here, or simply can't just hack it. Also, you being a plebe with your infinite wisdom seem to have this school figured out. You make all of these ridiculous comments that have no basis on any sort of truth. For example:
1. Many people, including myself, applied to and were accepted to other service academies. Some simply wanted to come here for a variety of reason, especially for the flexibility of service.
2. Although there are 5 other maritime schools, not everyone graduates as a licensed officer. Great Lakes maritime graduate less than 40 students a year, and about half of SUNY Maritime actually participate in their regimental program for to get their license.
3. Many students from the other maritime schools that do participate in the regiment (to get their license) also are part of the USNR/MMR program, and the govt. subsidizes a considerable portion of their education. Also, all of those schools have ships that are paid for by MARAD, including costs for fuel, upkeep and operations. The taxpayers are paying for their education as well.
4. Even though the deep sea fleet is not getting any bigger, the brown water industry is expanding rapidly (was, at least before the recession). KP is helping to fill that void of licensed operators. Also, there are many foreign flag LNG companies that KPers and other licensed graduates are crewing on (like myself, at least until I start Army training).
I could go on and on. You are way to ignorant and naive to realize the importance and value of this education. You have no idea what sea is like. You haven't networked and met powerful alumni.
As my parting gift to this school, I am sending a mass email to all users indicating what you said. You better hope that they don't figure out who you are, but I think I have a pretty good idea. I suggest that you quit now because KP, the industry and the military have no use for some worthless garbage like yourself.
