I did the SAP program as a non-sponsored cadet... little did I know that after a years worth of hard work, I would end up getting accepted to 3 Service Academies. Yes, at first it is going to be a big culture shock, as with any new thing in life, but you will make the best friends ever and have some of the best times of your life at MMI. The SAP program is tough as it throws a lot at you at once, but it helped me to reach my dreams of attending a Service Academy and I am so thankful for that. I have to say, as a current 4th class cadet at USAFA, that MMI was the best year along the whole Service Academy Admission process! If one is willing to give it everything that they have, they are bound to get some type of admission to a service academy or one of the individual service academy prep schools.
I have been a cadet at Marion Military Institute for 2 years now. I went into MMI as a self-sponsored Service Academy Prep (SAP) student with the hope to attend the Coast Guard Academy (CGA). I came to MMI with good leadership and good grades, but as many know, the Federal Service Academies do not settle for just a "good" applicant. I went to MMI with no military experience. None of my immediate family were in the military and I had no clue what life would have been like if I had gone straight to the CGA. MMI allowed me to develop academically, physically, and militarily in ways that I did not know were possible. I personally was able to interact with the director of admissions from CGA, along with a plethora of other faces from the academy that I would not have been able to if I had just gone to a regular college. MMI is a challenging experience. It is NOT easy if you decide to take the path that I did, but if you have the drive to work for your appointment, MMI will get you there.
I went through the SAP program this past year and despite covid I had one of the best years learning, growing and getting to know my shipmates. Marion was challenging but the staff and faculty there have made me a better cadet here at CGA. LTC Bowen and Captain Gatlin were two of the most helpful and supportive staff members at Marion. With their help and guidance, I learned more about what it meant to be an officer and carry out an important role in the US government. Mr. McCormick ensured that I succeeded in areas I had difficulty with. I am indefinitely thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I had at MMI and would recommend it for anyone aspiring to become an officer or a well rounded civilian and would like a life changing experience.
