Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Which MMA are you from anyway? There's two. One has a slight reputation for "regimental repression" and the other is a pretty easy-going place, all things considered. It would be informative to know if you were from the happy-go-lucky place and thought you being subjected to regimental repression. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one is which, you just let us know.

As I was a walkin' down London Road I come to Paddy West's house. He gave me a feed of "American hash" and he called it "Liverpool Scouse". He said, "There's a ship who's wantin' hands, and on 'er ye'll quickly sign! The mate is a bastard, the bos'un's worse but she will suit ye' fine!

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Hmmmm.... Democracy, all good and well, great stuff, just not huge at sea, and for very good reason.

Yeah, thats why I was laughing. Not that I think democracy is bad, its just not happening on the ship.

Maine's regimental regulations were always so poorly written you could beat most of the stuff using their own regs against themselves. Just had to think it out and make your case. Otherwise not sure how many of my friends would have made it out of there.

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
I don't want to over-extend myself because I'm not in the regiment so my word certainly does not count nearly as much on this issue but having lived in Castine and around the regiment for a considerable amount of time I would like to assert that this is certainly not Alcatraz, or anything even comparable, by any means...

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Alcatraz, no. But they didn't hesitate to throw one out for a few to many demo's; a smart reg'monkey could usually lawyer himself out of a jam using their own book against them. Some got away with more than others, others got the book thrown at them for nothing...all in how hard they threw the book back.

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Lawyers... That's for sure. There's a whole different headache for a different thread, but just briefly while we're on the topic: it's a shame but really what I think it amounts to is that everyone, schools especially, are so afraid of lawyers, and quite rightfully so, that the instant reaction is to just back off, or better yet, run in the opposite direction. Who would have thought that such a thing would enter into collegiate discipline? But now it has. What a shame that it has to interfere with one's education.

Not literally a lawyer...but craft some whacky argument using their rules against them.

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Well you're right about that too for sure but believe it or not they've even brought LAWYERS into the school disciplinary conversation now too. It's terrible really... Lawyers have no place on a campus unless its Harvard Law, and even then I'm not so sure...

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
Hmm, so as someone on the inside I see that the current version of the Regimental Manual is dated 15 January 2013 and it is posted on the school website and in the Regimental Student Conference. I also recall an email on 17 January that alerted all Midshipman that the manual was revised and where it was posted.
This looks like someone not willing to be responsible and by the names on the petition, I don't think that most of the Midshipmen agree with this individual...

I am going to go ahead and say this is a "troll" thread, but that is just a complete shot in the dark.

Re: petition defining regimental regulation.
So this has to be one of the reasons why Hawsepipers and current mariners look down on new Academy grads. Jeez, try being a Marine in remote Afghanistan with no TV, no Internet....Or a Citadel Cadet....still whining?
Well the purpose of regimental systems is to weed out the weak and/or those who aren't determined or interested enough, which in this case is a life at sea. I've read through the manuals; what a cake walk. I suppose that its actually a plus, since it keeps you concentrated on school during the weekdays.
If you want to be a frat boy, yeah, I guess it would be hell. But I don't think a frat boy will last long at sea.
