Hello all wonderfully mature, generous and helpful people in here ;) My take aways: (1) our military is not a merit based system (sounds like lock step promotions with age-out)--not for us, thanks for the info., (2) military doctors kill people that have easily treatable health problems (much...

Not sure what that means. Is the military unsafe for women? That’s a good reason for her not to go. Please share your wisdom. I know it didn’t work out so well for my father in law who got r**ed in the military.

Oh my goodness, I thought this was a military prep school forum. What a bunch of pu**** are in here. Duh...she’ll get on board :). She’s not going to be sent against her will. I think we have reading comprehension problems in our nation as well as a lack of critical thinking skills. Where...

Ha ha, ok will enlist her!! She’s only 15 tho :)

LOVE IT. THANK YOU. GREAT REPLY. NEVER HEARD OF THESE. Will check out. Thank you, thank you.

When your kid needs a doctor, bet he’ll want to go see my kids for treatment. If an as... has high expectations for their child, I’m an a... how do you know your son wouldn’t be a Major or a Lieutenant Colonel by now? I make no excuses for having high expectations and requiring excellence...

How can she express an interest if she is not introduced to the possibility of attending and educated on what a military boarding school could do to make her a leader. Of course a teenager would be afraid to leave her family. Of course we need advice. Very confused by the responses here. I...

Thank you, great reply. Yes, we have scheduled visits to see if this would be a good fit. We are sparing no expense and are beginning a process of making a decision.

Again Devil Doc, this is why our society is failing—likely because you did not “train up your child in the way he should go” so he would not depart from it. He got no training so he is meeting your expectations. He would not meet mine :)

Your definition of “just fine” is likely a failure in my book. She’ll go if I tell her to because I am the parent. Ha ha

“Back off” - I will not. This is why our society is failing miserably. A 15 yo is not a child. In another century they would be finishing college, raising children. I think your attitude is why our society is failing. No goals for children, low expectations, letting them find themselves...

Moving forward in the face of fear is what is necessary in life, that is the definition of courage. If she is afraid, it will pass. If she refuses to go, thinks it is a bad decision for her future and gives reasons for the same or offers options that would better suit her future hopes and...

Success in any form is of course the goal. Military academy would be a means to possible success in ANY area of endeavor. Possibly something was missed in the translation of my question. I do not apologize for having high expectations or for expecting my daughter to succeed, even if that is...

Quote for reading comprehension: “we love her and expended and enormous amount of time and energy to spark goals...”

Hi all, I am new to this forum and am looking for some advice about what military boarding school to send our daughter to. Our 15 yo daughter is finishing her freshman year in high school. Bottom line question is--what is the best coed military boarding school for FEMALE high schoolers? We...
