I'm making this topic against my better judgement.
Sound Mind, Sound BodySo I told you guys that I go to a military academy. I decided not to release the name because I was scared of actually getting someone to join, but I guess now I would actually quite enjoy it if some of you came.
School WebsiteRiverside is an all boy college prep military academy in which you are exposed to an environment free of distractions and stereotypical american public school patheticness, and it's where I came from a useless unorganized slob to a efficient organized human being. Sure, it's tough, but it's either tough school or tough life.
Unless you live in Gainesville, you're probably going to be a boarding cadet. However, you can use your phone to call your silly buddies, and if you live within a reasonable distance you can go home every weekend.
The point of Riverside is to make boys into men and better citizens, and put them in the direction of success. You also get the opportunity to get leadership positions, putting you in charge and preparing you for later business.
Everything else is pretty much wrapped up in this really cheesy video:

Sure, it's quite expensive at ~30k a year, but it's worked out for me and will work out for you in later years. As for seniors, it's not to late to sign up, you can sign up within 5 months of the year start or at the beginning of the next semester.
As for the Recruit Cycle:
It's a 1 month process that gets you into the Riverside routine when you first join. There is no contact except via email to outside the world, you can't go home, it's tough, it's hard, you're probably going to break down and cry one day, it's also really rewarding once you get over it.
Yes, there is lots of shouting and pushups involved.
so yea
