Academic Leave

FUMA rewards cadets who make The Honor Roll (B's) or The Dean's List (A's) for two terms in a row, with a special "Academic Leave weekend". Wil stands in the photo with Dennis Engel, a 17 year old Junior, who came home with Wil for the weekend.


We're very proud of Wil for his achievements and this weekend was about rewarding him for his hard work. The boys had fun shooting their new air rifles, playing video games, eating, sleeping in and hanging out.









Wil got to watch his movies, eat his favorite foods, play his favorite video games, all weekend, all in recognition of the hard work done well, in the middle of FUMA's austere environment.

Please pray for Wil - he's in the middle of Western Civ this term ... and the classes keep getting harder.

Looking sharp Wil! It was great to see you that weekend. Keep working hard!

Note to all other readers: when you shoot modern day pellet guns... you need to know that they are more powerful than the ones you had during your youth. Don't fire the rifle when the scope is an inch from your forehead. It will leave a gash :) Hahaha!
