lisa, you can say whatever you want...but hard facts speak the truth. the day I picked my son up he had a fractured ankle (suffered at the hands of the drill instructors) on which he requested medical treatment, yet they made him continue to exercise on it and told him to "suck up his drama". He has developed severe bronchitis and requested medical treatment for that as well, again, DENIED. He had cuts and bruishes all about his body, his right ankle was sprained (aside from the left fractured one) and all this is documented by the emergency room hospital records! So don't even try to convince me that this place does not abuse kids, because if they didn't, NONE of that would have happened to my son. And to go even further THEY DENIED HIM MEDICAL TREATMENT, contrary to what their public statements say!
So, get a life and get real, or maybe we should be telling you to "suck up your drama".
I tell you what, how about you come spend a week with me, I break your ankle, make you exercise in the snow for hours on end with nothing to warm you, not even a jacket, serve you substandard food, make you exercise 18 hours a day (on the broken ankle at that), hog tie you to another student and drag you through the showers, and THEN you tell me if you think I am abusing you!!!! But, alas, if any parent treated their child that way, the would BE IN JAIL! And, alas, I am not the cruel sadistict type, and would NEVER subject anyone to that kind of treatment.
