[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US Merchant Marine Academy. Often overlooked but a solid option. My DH went there and loved it.

You do 2 semesters at sea. And your commitment is 8 years (I think) of navy reserves. He traveled the world, had no school debt, got a great education, and the payback was relatively low. He loved his time there and payed back more than the minimum requirement.

Since then, a few kids in our neighborhood have also gone and loved it.

It has had problems in recent years with some harassment type issues. But, has worked hard (I'm told, I have not first hand knowledge) to try to address those. [/quote]

Yep, it's a great deal.

The harassment issues from a few years ago were related more to time spent at sea than time at the academy itself (mids at the USMMA do their sea time on actual merchant ships, not school training ships like some of the state academies do).[/quote]

Where can I find more details about "the harassment issues"?[/quote]
