The truth was that, you know, there was no reason to send me to Shattuck Military School. But it was a disciplinarian school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After I graduated from school, I enrolled in the military college, a cadet school. This is the first stage of military training; it instills discipline and various qualities required for military life.
My family didn't have time for me, so I decided to join the Suvorov military academy, which is in St. Petersburg. I spent two years there and studied general military science. At that point, once I graduated, I joined the Chernigov higher education pilot academy.
I think I only went to college because it was close to the karate school.
I can't say that dropping out of school at 16 to join the Marines was my best idea. On the other hand, maybe it was. Who knows?
I went to high school in Texas for one year, my senior year. My parents wanted me to get out of Stockholm because I was running with the wrong crew. They wanted me to get back to my roots.
I ended up going to Dartmouth, and I did Marine Officer Candidate School during my junior summer.
School seemed unimportant, since I learned so much more on my own.
My schools were quite diverse - those who serve their country come from every race and religion - and so the military schools I attended were a wonderful melting pot.
I did not go to military school. I had an option either a military school or a private school. I don't know how to get that out of the information that's out there.
Military school was great and especially great for leadership and then I spent two years in Vietnam.
