I learned leadership skills, maritime skills, and overall practical life-type skills. I don't remember much of my physics and pre-calc classes, but that's not what I went to CMA for. I learned about navigation, maritime law, and how to anchor and dock a ship. These are skills I still use today. Our student body was para-military and we had great camaraderie between us- we all worked together and helped each other out. We were shipmates. I remember being on the annual training cruise with all of my classmate buddies as an 18-year-old. We were standing on the fantail enjoying the evening air and being at sea, on our way cruising to Hawaii. I thought to myself- where else could I get an education like this? This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I have never regretted it, I would go back again, and my career is where it is today because of the education and training I received there.

THe school is also so small that there is nothing to do, and it is even worse the school is located in Vallejo. The business program is a complete mess. Teachers keep leaving or getting fired, and are replaced with teachers that should be teaching pre-school or lower. I would suggest that unless you want to sail boats your whole life, go to a real school. You will enjoy it more.

I am pleased that the focus of the school has changed to be more academic and less "trade school" in nature. I still feel, however, that the professional education is the school's natural niche.

There are more respectable schools available for higher education. Fri, 23 Dec 2005 11:06:13 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/CA/CMA_comments.html
