This is one of life's little tests. There will be many. As parents, you've probably talked to your son before the OV as well as instilled values and judgement over the prior 16-17 years. You hope they choose wisely.

I shared my story on page 12 of this thread. My son has zero respect (to this day) for the program that put him in a very difficult situation. OV recruits were arrested, as well as baseball team members for underage drinking. In addition to the criminal charges, I'm sure the coach made sure there were some stadium stairs run during that month. Let's just say the head coach was not happy with his team leaders, and there were many apologies to the recruits and their families.
