In 3025 the Point Barrow Military Academy was under investigation by the DMI and MIIO for anti-Davion activities.[1] Shortly thereafter, however, it was able to clean up its act and has since become one of the most demanding academies in the Federated Suns.[2]
General
After the successfully rebuilding from the ground, the academy is equal to other institution of its kind. The technicians are known for their excellent skills, but the other MOS are also taught. The support and loyalty that the former Archon Melissa Steiner received were transferred to her daughter Katherine. With the support from the AFFC the facility were transformed to one of the primary academies.[3]
Furthermore, many citizens of the Point Barrow Combat Region lack the educational background of other Federated Suns citizens, and so the academy offers many remedial courses to fill the gaps in their student's educations. For this reason many people attempt to access the Point Barrow Military Academy.[2]
Atmosphere
The academy lacks the same financial basis of other Federated Suns academies, leading every student to learn under real world conditions. The Academy lacks the simulators common to other academies, for example, so the cadets are required to use the real thing every time they take the field. This, combined with the harsh terrain of Point Barrow, insures that students put their lives on the line every time they have an exercise. As a result the cadets are under severe mental and physical stress every day.[2] The daily life on Point Barrow is a challenge for the common cadet and dropouts are not unknown.[3] The planet's environment is so stressful in fact that the cadets have their own unofficial motto: "If the classes don't kill you, the weather will."[4]
Special Notes
The Academy's staff and cadet corps feel they still owe a debt of gratitude to Archon Melissa. Many of PBMA's personnel have transferred that feeling to her daughter, giving Archon Katherine a bastion of Support in the heart of the Federated Suns.[3]
