>>840974If you choose GLMA you'll have to spend the first year in the dorms, which are sub-par, but you'll get to hang with all the other maritime bros. Good ol' fashioned sloot shoot on campus.
>>841103>Great Lakes: ??? They all mostly stick to the Great Lakes, which is a world of its own.Honestly, it's not that we all stay on the lakes, it's that we're so small. Graduating class my first year was 14 people 8 deck/6 engine. The academy is trying to expand, now it's roughly 50 in my class. Still small AF. We still manage a low instructor to cadet ratio. 2 full time deck instructors with 4 adjuncts and 2 full time engine instructors. Essentially, we have 5 instructors for roughly 200 cadets
