<p>tlswogh89, so you are a plebe with just four months under your belt. Many plebes feel that way, then things turn around. The academics are hard, you are getting a four year degree in three years so you can travel for a year. We see these former plebes when they got to sea for the first time, and watch their confidence and pride build as they come back with their experiences. We see them as they go the second time to travel the world, and the determination to graduate when they come back. Then we see these former plebes, who wanted to quit, graduate with a pride and excitement that we don’t see at other schools. The comradship among the alumni is amazing.</p>
