I went to LWMA in the same years that two gentleman who have left bad comments about hazing and other stuff like fighting. I was small and not that tough when I got there but absolutely nothing happened to me like that. I learned so much about life and how to be a person that people would look up to and how to be a leader and live life responsibly. I was there with Col. Bill Jenertte who, even after I Graduated stayed in contact and anytime I was in a fork in the road after I graduated I could call him and if he didn t answer he would call me back or if he was busy another staff member would call me back and they all remember their students. They saved my life. I graduated as the Battalion Commander and I started there like everyone else, a scrub. I went through leadership trading and left at the top of the ranks. I loved that place so much some weekends when we had the opportunity to go home for open weekend I would choose to stay on campus. And I m from Destin Florida where it s warm and I could go on my dads boat and jet skis and have a great weekend but LWMA became a family to me too that some weekends I would want to stay there. If I could say one thing with 100% certainty is that if I never attended LWMA I honestly know I wouldn t of been able to have the life I have now and I sure wouldn t know how to live life with character. I live by a cadet code. That is
To be faithful, honest, and sincere in every act and purpose and to know honorable failure is better than success by unfairness or cheating.

That cadet code has made it possible to now own a house and own two charter boats and I also have a 500 Ton captains license. I have a baby on the way and I was just telling my wife that I would love to drive up there this year to visit the campus.

Long story short: Every teenager should go because it would save their lives and the education they would get with the sports and the more one on one with teachers can not compare to any other school in America. I am forever greatful to LWMA. And bad reviews left on LWMA is from kids that probably never had the mindset to become a better person
