My experience at La Sierra will forever be on for the books. It's more if you never attended you can't really relate to it. It has change me from the way I walk, talk, and move. It gives it me its rhythm. You will walk in their having to answer only three ways : yes, no, or I'sir. It will take your civilian side away and build you up to the way it wants to you to be . This school is the the must .

Physical activity wise we the best we run a mile or two every day. Were constantly on the go i mean we working out all the time and everybody loves it. Were all very supportive and motivating to each other.

The Drill Sargent retired and was replaced with a guy with little military experience. He allows kids in leadership positions to bully other kids. Some teachers look on and laugh. Don't send your kids here.
