USMMA

United States Merchant Marine Academy Situated across from the ONE and ONLY best Maritime College in the nation, SUNY Maritime, this college likes to boast that it is a federal service academy and that it's free, when in fact it is niether of those. In a recent televised special on U.S. Federal Service Academies, USMMA was not included (in fact, it was rejected for consideration) AND as of the mid-2000's one must pay a normal college tuition to attend. Contrary to what their graduates and staff say about their cadets' post-USMMA careers, they are hated in the working world, and several shipping companies actively maintain directives stating they will NOT hire their graduates because they possess poor attitudes and a sense of arrogance that pisses off everyone at even the highest levels of management.
