I am a member of cycle 46 in 2016. Active duty army 2018-2021 I beg you not to send your children here. This program is ran by national guard members. They do not instill any military responsibilitys or respect. They will dehumanize your children and take their anger from home and issues out on your kids. I got pneumonia and a rash on my privates due to only being able to shower for 1 minute a day and not being able to wash. There are good programs out there for troubled youth this is not one of them. I am disappointed in the service members who run this facility. I was forced to go to a fire and brimstone Baptist church if you did not go or claimed to not be religious, you were forced to do PT (physical training, a.k.a. Forced exercise.) until church was over. I learned what alcoholics look liked while I was there And I learned with unresolved anger, problems and failed marriages can look like. I would go through Boot Camp in the army six times Before I ever step foot or sent my child to that facility
