Reply to "Does Anybody Have Information on New Mexico Military Institute"

I talked with the kid this morning. Basically, you wake up at 530 to line up to march at 6. After doing some military stuff there is class. Immediately after there is baseball practice, you eat, then 2.5 hours of study hall. He said you basically have 30 minutes to shower and unwind after study hall and its time to hit the hay.

Everything is scheduled and structured. Being a baseball player, you get out of some things because of games and practice and travel, but there is always something they have you doing, even saturdays in the fall. He said sundays are the only real day you have to relax or do anything "fun." You are basically a machine and days fly.

He said he liked his time there but I could kind of tell he was just happy to have a place to play ball. He had good things to say about the coaching staff. He said he heard that a lot of people (students players and parents) have been complaining that things are too rigorous and they are going to start easing up a bit.
