<p>I am a USMA grad my partner is a USNA grad my son is a USMMA grad. My partner and I are physicans retired from the military in private practice. My son is at the Naval Postgraduate school at Monterey. He could have gone to any academy he chose USMMA and is getting his masters in Marine Systems engineering. I am proud of the Naval midshipmen I have sponsored one in Marine aviation 3 tours, one completing Naval Air and the current Midshipmen wanting to go into nuclear propulsion and subs. I have many USNA grads that were thrilled that USMMA grads were working with them on thier ships because they had much more experience. Does Mark Kelley ring a bell 1986 USMMA grad. Yes the facitilites are antiquated with the entire USMMA budget less than either ARMY/NAVY football budgets. USMMA requires a Coast Guard license to graduate not even USCGA requires that. If you are a USNA graduate you are an insult to your institution and ignorant of the place and importance of ALL the service academies</p>
