Thank you!

Okay, here's the details (at least as much as what we were told in the permission slip explanation) about next week's "boot camp."
"Cadets will be engaged in training in a number of different events such as marching drill, teamwork exercises, classroom training,watch standing and much vigorous physical training. This is an opportunity for the cadets to spend some time together and perform as a team."
It also says there will be a PIR Friday, when they will be pinned with SA and whatever else they have earned.
It also has a list of what to bring, what not to bring. Except for the uniform parts, it sounds like a weekend camp. Sleeping bags, pajamas, tooth brush, etc.

haha, LOL, It's def. not for everyone! It can be really challenging with so many different ages and stages in our house. I've got my oldest in college @ Auburn on NROTC scholarship, the next oldest is dual enrolled @ the community college as a high school junior, 9th, 6th, 3rd, 1st, 5K, Preschool, and a 10 month old trouble maker!

I could never do homeschooling. We tried it briefly with my oldest child, public school was not working out well for him, to put it mildly. After two months we discovered that in our household it was an unmitigated disaster. We got him moved to a different school and things got better. But we had to move to a different state to really find the right school for him.

We have the same limits and I hear ya! We have 9 kids and we pass ourselves coming and going! I thought the little ones kept me busy, but if it weren't for the fact that we homeschool, I'd never see my highschoolers! My son definitely was burnt out at the end of this summer. It took him a couple of weeks to decompress and refuel.He had to give up baseball & football for drill team because all 3 practice year-round and the kids really have to be "all in" to be competitive. His drill team was the NJROTC National Champions this past year, so he's pretty motivated to stick with that, but it takes so much time.

We have a family rule that our kids cannot have more than one after-school event or summer activity going on at one time (per kid). With three kids we couldn't be in too many places at once. Even with one activity per child, there were things they missed because we were double or triple-booked. So they have to prioritize, to make choices for what is most important. Especially during the school year.
Marching band season is almost over, so now she has to choose between NJROTC air rifle team and Knowledge Bowl team. It's going to be a hard decision for her.
With homework and band she has very little "down time" for herself during the week. I will not allow her to burn herself out before college. I've seen it happen too many times.

sometimes I wish it was like that here! If your kids are involved in sports or clubs you get NO summer. Literally, there was something going on every week this past summer. For NJROTC cadets in leadership here the summer between sophomore and junior year is insane! cadet basic, BLT, Leadership Academy, JLEAD, STEM, on and on it went! We have our 1st drill meet tomorrow, an interservice meet- so we'll see how it goes.

Almost nothing here meets in the summer, they don't even have band camp until the couple of weeks before school starts. I didn't even see football conditioning going on. My daughter "toured" the school as best she could in early August, but there wasn't a soul on campus. I think it's because of budget cuts, they can't afford to pay the adult supervisors for summer hours.
