USMMA kindly referred to us over at SUNY Maritime on the other side of the Long Island Sound as "the bridge trolls" haha. At the end of the day, we had more freedom on/off campus and would leave college with the exact same credentials/commissions if we wanted to. We'd commission some 150+ "strategic sealift officers" (as they're now known) each year back in '13. Not sure what the numbers are now.

That must have come in since I was involved, I don't remember it working that way at that time (1979).
