[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former cadet who went to a military boarding school in Virginia for 7 academic years (grades 6-12) I would definitely NOT want juvenile offenders placed alongside me and my fellow cadets as some kind of “reformatory” punishment.

My parents worked their asses off to pay the annual tuition for my schooling. Why should criminal youth get a free ride to the same school my folks paid $12k-$16k a year for (in the 90’s!).

Secondly, we were at a military school because we WANTED to be there. Forcing people to go to that environment would totally destroy the esprit de corps of a cadet battalion.

Most of the corps of cadets at my school went on to either service academies or college ROTC programs, [b]or enlisted and were immediately promoted to junior NCO ranks immediately after basic. [/b]Military schools have a very specific purpose - producing service academy attendees and ROTC grads for the officer ranks, or career-minded enlisted personnel. They are NOT for criminal sh!tbirds.

This doesn't happen, sorry. E-3, at the most.[/quote]
