Just for new readers, last week we were discussing the rigors of Military college. Let us now continue with some of the strict rules that go along with being a military student. At Military College, bedtime is strictly enforced and wake-up drill is as well. Students have to scramble to make their beds, wash, dress and assemble before their rooms every morning for inspection. A piece of fluff or the slightest ripple on the bed mean punishment and the wrath of the inspector.

Military colleges are so difficult because they combine academics, athletics and military training all into four years. At other schools, you have star athletes and top students, but here everyone has to be both. Everyone has to participate in a sports program and maintain certain physical standards to pass to the next level. They have to learn a second language and achieve good marks in their courses. They have to learn all the rules, all the drills, and perhaps an instrument. All this stress is what makes so many students disillusioned, so that they eventually surrender and move out.

They are cared for extremely well by the military, and deserve it, not only for all they have been through in their educations, but because they are defending their countries. They have subsidized housing and are sent all over the world. They have envious adventures in countries civilians could only dream about.

Being in the military is definitely an option for gifted and talented teens. If you think the training is for you, it is recommended that you seek out more information from your local recruiting office. The
