A few things should be said about Lyman Ward Military Academy.
I attended the school for 5 years, beginning in 1992 and ending in 1997. I spent my entire high school career at Lyman Ward Military Academy and I feel it's time I share with the public just what goes on there.
The school itself is very, very, very steeped in 'southern tradition', meaning it's views of 'proper young men' run deep and are very traditional, almost to the point of going back to civil war times.
Cadets are loosely thrown together in 'barracks' consisting of 3 floors of jail-like cells in large, isolated buildings on the campus. The living accommodations for cadets at Lyman Ward Military Academy are absolutely atrocious: there is no air conditioning; the living area per cadet is roughly 20 square feet and the power given to individual cadets is enough to make the 'inferior' cadets' lives a living hell.
I know. I've been there. I've seen all sides of Lyman Ward Military Academy and it's not pretty.
Any 'officer' cadet at Lyman Ward Military Academy has the power to subjugate any 'NCO' cadet at will.
Hazing, organized fighting, drug use, extortion and sexual assault are all commonplace. I have proof. Lyman Ward Military Academy is a haven for the breeding of violent, maladjusted young men.
Ask anyone who has spent more than a few weeks at the school and they will tell you: if you don't get beaten, humiliated, broken down and completely destroyed psychologically during your first few weeks there, then the faculty and cadre are NOT doing their jobs.
Lyman Ward Military Academy is hell. Again, I have proof. Just contact me.

I will never stop being a voice for those whose lives have been destroyed by this deplorable institution.
