I can talk about military school as I was third generation to attend a military school; my father and grandfather attended the same school. And I wanted to go; to escape from the small town syndrome. They wanted to shoot "Taps" there, but we turned it down as, our president at the time, a retired 2 star general said, "It portrayed the military school student as a radical." Gee secret groups are bad. So public groups like gangs are forgotten? Any organization will have good and bad in it. At the military school we had Black, Whites, Asian, Mexican, etc. The only color that mattered were the black, gray and blue of your uniform. Time there mattered. If you were a new boy, (1 year of less) you were the lowest form of life, no matter what color you were. Old Boys, +1 year and who had signed our honor code, were the upper level. It didn't matter what color or how old. And when women started there, some of the older alumni had problems with that. But I am here to tell you, in the final years of life of that school (which was shut down to mis-management and money... gee always money) the female company was the best there. the military school, when I attended 1977-1983, was a great way to prepare young people for the future-be it in the military or in life. Anyone who say different, well... I won't say what I think. If you didn't go to a military school, you don't know. Just like being in the military. I am proud that I attended and still have more friends from than I can count from there, over 30 years later. How many can say that about the school you went to?
