USMMA 2012 CHALLENGE COINS (New)
The Indiana/Kentucky/Tennessee USMMA Parents Club is proud to announce the next USMMA Challenge Coin. Next April, the Class of 2012 will receive from our parents club their class challenge coin featuring the USMMA crest and an image of their 2012 class ring. These Class Challenge Coins are available only to graduates.
Our Club has also commissioned a special parents and alumni Commemorative Challenge Coin. This coin is available for you to purchase directly from our club. About 2 inches in diameter, it has all of the exquisite detail of the midshipmen’s Class Coin. This commemorative coin is perfect for a special gift or memento for those who have been close to USMMA or to your midshipmen’s journey through the Academy. These are truly collector quality coins and make great gifts.
A Challenge coin has a lot of history. During World War I, American volunteers from all parts of the country filled the newly formed flying squadrons. A Challenge coin even saved an officers life. Hence, the tradition of "Coin Check" was developed.
To order your coin ($20+S/H) or the whole set of 4 ($60+S/H), go to ebay.com and search for usmma or contact

For those with students at sea, you might be able to find and track your midshipman’s ship at this website. http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/index.html#search. Put in the name of your mid's ship in a field and it will show you where on the map that ship was at the last time they reported their position. It is generally updated daily.
Our Mission
The mission of the IND/KY/TN USMMA Parents Club is to provide a means of communication between the Academy and the midshipman parents from our States. We do this by offering opportunities for fellowship and mutual support among parents whose sons and daughters are undergoing a rugged academic, physical, and military training program. Our goal is to enhancing the image of the United States Merchant Marine Academy and promote the Academy to others who are interested in attending.
