A day in the life of a Cadet

[@បញ្ញាប៉ន-ច5ត]

I went to Culver during the summer of 2018 and it was an experience I will never forget. I was in troop A and I was proud to be a trooper.

[@colt2ish]

After having been in the actual army for 3 years I'm glad my parents never forced me to go to military school.

[@picsbymrmo]

So sorry your experience in the Army was not a good one. I spent 22 years in the Army and had a blast and can’t wait for my grandkids to attend this school.

[@colt2ish]

@@picsbymrmo nice. It wasn't that bad. Just a little over the top with dumb shit. Overall a good 3 years. Something I don't regret doing but wouldn't do it again.

[@patrickmac2799]

Valley Forge Military Academy Alumnus. I recognize all of it. What a brilliant experience. Cheers to my brothers in the Long Grey LIne from whichever military school you attended. “For those who understand, no explanation is necessary; for those who don’t understand, no explanation is possible.”

[@AErlichman639]

hey brother, which year were you?

[@GOTboost-tl3qi]

We used to play valley forge in some capacity in polo when I was at Culver.

[@brandonfox9618]

Just so that you all know, those who go to military school aren't all troubled. In fact, most actually go to military school just to strengthen their self-discipline.

[@tomvu8566]

This is much better than my old school

[@Safey07]

Woah this is way different then the cubs unit that i was in

[@SeanStPawn]

Do cadets go home for the holidays (or at least Christmas)?

[@picsbymrmo]

Yes. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Breaks.

[@gradymetsker9013]

I sometimes just watch these videos again and again to prepare for hopefully going here. It’s a really neat school

[@publicpariah6393]

The citadel looks like so much more fun than vmi

[@swiftsmile]

What branch are you guys? Im seeing a mix of air force, and old army

[@picsbymrmo]

Christian Turner no specific branch. We are not JROTC.

[@southerngirlsociety]

Damn. That's definitely quite a schedule and I'm sure people come out of there all the better for it, but my high school homework always took far more than 2hrs... How do y'all get your homework done in that short amount of time? Also, do they offer financial assistance or scholarships for those who would love to attend but may not necessarily have the family financials to pay for it?

[@picsbymrmo]

Yes, our cadets have a busy life and they do manage to do their studies during CQ. If that time is not enough, they can request additional time to complete their work. And yes, financial assistance is available.

[@Wolf-wf8po]

If you are in hard classes you don’t get your homework done in time. It is just called you have to work through that last time before bed. And you can request late lights to stay up and get work done.

[@artist._.4857]

3:00. Is that kid 12 years old???

[@MonJhayo]

fr tho lmao brody gotta be smarter den us combined tho if he goin to college at 12 yrs old

[@annechkan]

Thank you for sharing. We are holding our breath to hear the news of acceptance. There is no place like Culver…

[@picsbymrmo]

Good luck!

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

Is it like this on weekends?

[@picsbymrmo]

No. This video is to show what goes on during a regular school day. Cadets have mostly free time after school on Friday's until Sunday night when they need to get back to studying. They do attend a parade on Sunday around noon on falls and spring (but that does not take longer than 45 minutes).

[@beezienkirsten]

20yrs hasn't changed much. Good old days of Sgrt Click trying to get me out bed n wasn't happening. Black stripper constant. Probably still have the record for longest run of detention their 3yrs straight.

[@hellothere4724]

Did it help you be a better person in the end

[@GOTboost-tl3qi]

Did you have a younger brother that attended as well?

[@beezienkirsten]

Not really. Elementary military type school beforehand did well high school more issues with fams. Turn out same for school 1/10 price. Still good times besides my detention status my whole time there.

Back back to Culver days....

How Is Culver I am on the verge of if I want to go to a Military Academy and I need some help with it so how was military school?

[@3880511xxxx]

@@tyler4x612 Culver is great, real strong academics program there, the military stuff is to the minimum, marching morning formations, and in warm seasons parades on Sundays for parents. Overall I had a great experience over there.

[@roseiceburg5422]

what is this place

[@picsbymrmo]

Culver Academy. College (boarding) prep school in Culver Indiana. On of the top high schools in the nation.

[@roseiceburg5422]

how old do you have to be?

[@axpro1118]

Well with what camilo said you have to pass middle school. Im assuming that its a JROTC program but modified. Like the Marine Military Academy (MMA). A military school if you will.

[@picsbymrmo]

Rose Iceburg We are a 9-12 school. Students come from all over the US, but also have a large population from China, Mexico and many other countries.

[@rubinkatz9850]

@@axpro1118 CMA dispensed with JROTC decades ago (not even an option to take) - replaced with leadership/positive psychology. But #1 hs in the nation to get kids into service academies.

[@stickthelanding4785]

Wait so if this is not part of any specific branch then what is this exactly?

[@picsbymrmo]

It’s a private independent school. It combines many customs or regulations found in several branches of the armed forces.

[@madelyncase9822]

That's like CTC for us.

[@emmanuelbreininger7210]

I would love to go here

[@isamzayyad5434]

Do you have pleeb syetem

[@ceffio77]

why yes we do

[@drfloppa6406]

can you have a gaming console in your room

[@picsbymrmo]

Not, but most kids play video games from their own rooms in their computers and every unit have a unit lounge where kids play video games and watch movies on weekends. Our unit lounge for example has a large screen and a large TV for people to do both simultaneously.

[@a_true_dreamer4860]

Why are there girls in the classes if this is an all-boys school? Is there a sister school nearby?

[@picsbymrmo]

We have boys and girls in our school and two separate leadership systems. The boys use the military system and the girls the prefect system.

[@a_true_dreamer4860]

@@picsbymrmo Can I know know more information about the female education and the interactions between the two genders? Also if the boys and girls learn in the same place, why HMA marketed as an all boys school?

[@picsbymrmo]

@@a_true_dreamer4860 Boys and girls attend classes together but have separate living areas. We never advertise as a separate gender school. I work on the boys side so my videos are focused on my boys. To learn more about the girls, I suggest you contact the admissions department. Good luck.

[@a_true_dreamer4860]

@@picsbymrmo I apologise. I was thinking of a completely different school. For some reason, I had Hargrave Military Academy in mind and didn't play close attention to the beginning. My b. Thanks for the information though!
