hey , I just found this site, I got out in september(last year), after being there since march.Whatever happened to the sargent major dude?his name was douglas hammock I think.When he first came everyone was hypin him up and stuff, but I left about the same time he came.I dont think Slade is Ms Willas boy, when I got sent back to bootcamp once  we traded letters and let each other see what each others parents wrote, and i think his dads name was dave, and his mom was wendy.Why did he get sent back
Yeah George did die in an accident but thats all they told us,Didnt he die about a few days after he left?I remember George was always crying a few days before he left home.Most of us in Residency thought he commited suicide, because of the way he was acting before he left.
I dont think Greenleaf and Shokrin got caught in the "Act" but I remember being told that one of the junior staff woke up and shokrin wasnt there so the junior staff asked security to find him, and then ...I dont know, I heard that Shokrin denied it , but greenleaf told the truth so greenleaf got sent down to residency for a day then got sent back up to junior staff.I remember all the residents went down to bootcamp and I did too with them, it was only about 2 weeks after I moved up, so Shrokin was down with us then we all moved up to residency and he then grauduated.
It was talked about that eveyrthing was planned (residency, junior staff) because one of the peope down in bootcamp got a letter from his girlfriend sayin he would be in residency on a certain date, but it was marked out, but he saw through it lol, and sure enough he did move up then.I heard from another person that overheard a sargent talking about humphries becoming junior staff, well did he?Why did he run away?I would of been talking to alot of people from thayer, but my list of numbers I got written down got lost when I left Thayer.

Whatever happened to that guy Bakerly/Diarbakerly he was funny lol.He asked his parents could he go home and finish his school at home(you could get it done much faster at home, at thayer they make you do the self check tests, and you have to wait for a sargent to check it, while he has to check all the other 20 kids exams, basically your not going to fail because the sargent will tell you what questions you got wrong, and if you keep getting it wrong he will eventually tell you)Also he stole alot of muffins, and got alot of fines lol.

Is Sargent Atchison still there?He was one of my favorite sargents.I remember him talking about he had been their the longest out of the all the sargents.Did he go back to being a drill sargent in bootcamp?What happened to sargent sperry?How about sargent quinn, and sargent andrews.And how about avriatte, prindle, that mexican one that sargent atchison brought in?

Did clay really get sent to bootcamp in mexico where u sleep on a hill so you wake up with a headache?

To the person with the question about lollar, he basically left because thayer hired sargent major, he and his sister left.

Is Ms Jamie still working there?

Why did they lenghten the time becoming a resident?They already lengtehned it from 60 days to 90 days when I was there.When I was leaving I heard that bootcamp would no longer see the residents, like during "chow" etc, how did all that work out?

Why are they doing reconstruction again?

How did the classroom turn out that we painted?

How are the smoke sessions and parties there now?I remember the Atchison and Jensen one, where bootcamp ran about 70 laps, and had to do bearcrawls and pushups between each 10.At the end of it they all had to run a lap with everyone in line and no one falling behind.That took for ever lol.

How is that Barekman kid doing?I remember him gettin picked on all the time for pissin his pants lol.Did he ever become Junior Staff?

Did that kid Rosario ever lose weight lol?I remmeber when he got into residency he was still about 200 pounds lol.

There arent any real mental problems that surface, the program is easy really if you are in good shape, the only thing that makes a kid bad mentally is really al the sargents screamin at ya and shit.I just brushed that off and never really cared about it, but some kids always cried and couldnt get over some things.

What happened to Mathis, Villagas,Donaldson,Wentner,Desi,Walkenhaur,Mitchell,Olshansky,Farrington,Douglas,Centofante,Rutherford,Banks,Matthews,Humbleball.And that NBA Players son I think his name was Williams.


Who are all you people and how do you know all this, it seems like some of you people currently work there or were you "students" there?

For anyone who remmebers me Im Grundler I was there from March until September last year

it depends on how often you get sent back to bootcamp,how long you will be there. and you have to have all your school work done.

My child was at Thayer and we did not earn a family visit.  It was always something - stealing a muffin from the kitchen during cleanup because he was hungry was one reason.  Yea, and the certified teachers - what a joke!  And they really care about the kids - more like they care about the greenbacks - not the kids.  Even the kids that have stayed there say its nothing but brainwashing and a scam to take parents money.  It didn't take long for my son to see through it.  The parents are lied to about things like "tell you parents your school books are here", tell your parents you are getting along with the schoolwork.  Save your money - go to counseling.  I think the Court system is a better choice than Thayer!

Parents pull the kids out because they are lied to and the children don't get the family visit - always a different excuse and $3500 a month is a high price with no education provided.  What a joke -- they are in it for the money.

What bothers me is that you say off-site visit with your son.  All family visits are off-site.  How long did you have to wait for your family visit - was it the advertised and publicized time span of 60-90 days.  Oh, wait, they changed that 60-90 days to 90-120 days didn't they.

Maybe you should ask yourself why so high a turnover?  Thayer's turn is that they want only the best people employed.  Past employee's turn on this is the Bundy's are scammers and the kids are told to lie to their parents and cannot talk freely with their parents.  You are told you can't believe anything your child tells you - that's why they are enrolled at Thayer?  Sound familiar?
