Well I am a frosh, and are not allowed out off the grounds except on weekends when they let us. However there is so much to do here, we have a full machine and welding shop. We have complete steam systems, diesal plants, and of course a 224' training vessal. We have no real service requirement after graduation and we spend a year out at sea getting real hands on training. I will graduate with a mechanical degree, a coast guard licesne and a commison as an officer in the USNR or any other branch of my choice. Bascially its a really good deal.

Sounds like a good deal.I like the fact of having a machine shop.Although I hate being offshore I get seasick.Not a good thing for a kid who has worked on boats since he was 7.

Lol well what are you interested in, being an engineer or deckie? An enginner wont be affected that much by the sea.

goathunter · Wed Mar 21, 2007 8:57 pm

Engineer, I would love to get my hands on one of those engines.The most i've worked on are diesel CATS.

We have a huge(three storys tall) Suelzar two stroke diesal that we work on 8)

Quit trying to persuade me from the Naval Academy! O Well I guess who ever will take me I'll go.Man that diesel sounds fun to work on.I hate to imagine having to change the oil on that monster

All the more fun for your class

Well the Navy Academy is like our big brother and I guess going there would be ok but still you gotta take pride in your school, so yea come here.

"ShowNoMercy"~Thats a always a good thing to hear from people, I am in the Merchant Marine academy and sometimes hearing people always complaining how bad the government sucks is annoying. Anyway, god bless america.

Dittos!!!!!

What acadaemy?

I ask ....as I was a tug captain for nearly 20 years. Had all the time to sit , trip and tonnage for a pilots exam in Puget Sound.....

The industry just didn't challenge me anymore so I decided to stick a fork in my eye and become self employed.

What do you want to do when you get out?

ShowNoMercy · Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:15 pm

Ummm we were just discussing service academys so how will that anger anyone?

goathunter · Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:21 pm

The fact that you are mad proves that there must be something wrong with your Ideology.And sorry for offending you in any Political,Sociological,Ideological,Mental,or Emotional way.
Me deepest sympathies.

Hey I wrote that with one part of my brain tied behind my back, Just like Rush!

ShowNoMercy · Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:22 pm

Lets not offend anyone here, Id rather not be banned or anything....

Navigator7 · Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:23 pm

A-98~Don't develop a grudge. NO need to raise your voice....shore up your argument.

If liberals stood for common sense, American values and supported the constitution when THEY were in power....I would be one.

Start hating me now or ban me.
