FutureKP:

Zonker has the current, new policy right on and I’d emphasize that the Superitendant issued a new instruction and has cracked down on things as well.

As has been listed as well - there are no parties on campus, etc. that are close to sanctioned, you won’t have the environ of a “regular college” frat parties, etc. at any time during your stays on campus, and during your sea year you’ll be working and have watcheds to stand etc.

Now as a grad and dad with a very good relationship with my son does that mean that Kings Pointers never drink, no they do, they are nrmal human beings, in fact as has been alluded since we fancy ourselves “sailors” from time to time it does occur and often it’s talked about more than it happens but with clubs in NYC but a 25 minute bus & train ride away Midshipmen have been known to drink.

However as Zonker points out life during a Class 1 restriction (10 or so weeks) really is totally NOT fun nor a great way to live for a quater of your plebe year. One of the things KP strives to teach is taking responsibility for your own actions - sometimess that is in the form of “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime” If things are like when I was there you don’t get a lot of sympathy form your friends and classmates when you do something really stupid, though ocassionally you can find someone’s shoulder to cry on, they won’t skip[ liberty to hang out with you and watch you go to restriction mustes all weekend long.

While Kings Pointers aren’t all tea totallers, it’s never, ever going to break the top 50 for Playboy’s Biggest Party Schools…
