A couple of my friends went into the military and when they came back from boot camp they would tell me stories about it. How tough the drills were, and they would have to march everywhere. They would tell me how strict the rules were. How mean the people in charge were and how many rules they had. That’s how I think Chilocco was. The school was run like military life. No wonder why some of the students would rebel or even run away. I know if I went to school at Chilocco, I would have probably ran away or went home in the summer and never went back.
HEllo Wylee,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but laugh when I read that you would take off from the school. It's nice to see that some of the students said that the military approach helped them in the long run. It was also nice to see the students doing things on their open saturday like all other adolscent students in the surrounding communities.
I agree Wylee. I probaly would of been awol and been working on the rock pile every Saturday. Also, Billie, it was interesting to see hear that the training did pay off in the long run.
ReplyDeleteHey Wylee, I know some of my friends who have went to the marines. I know I thought about it but was not sure if I would be on the Awol list as well. lol
