Considering FUMA for our son

Hi Go2Fuma,

I was just browsing the 411 and saw your post. I am the mother of a cadet that just graduated with the class of 2009. First of all, congrats on thinking about sending your son to FUMA. My son was there for 4 1/2 years and grew tremendously. I am not saying it won't be hard, it will. The first two years were adjustment to the structure and discipline FUMA brings to the table, but if you stick with it you will find it was a good decision. FUMA gives the young men a chance to focus on academics without the pressure of outside influences. Of couse as in any school there will be disagreements between classmates, etc but at FUMA at a much lower level than public school. There are plenty of extra after school activites for you son to join as well.

My son left FUMA in good academic standing and is heading to college on a football scholarship. He admitted to me (after all was said and done of course :D that FUMA allowed him to grow academically.

Hope this helps and good luck to you and your son.

I noticed you wanted to hear from parents that have kids in FUMA. I went to FUMA about 12 years ago and i promise you it will be the best choice of your life. My parents got the video put me in front of a t.v. and said what do you think? I mad mixed feelings about going because i lived in florida and would leave all of my friends. Sure the first few weeks i missed my family and friends but you have people around you to pick you up and once he gets that first letter in the mail or makes his first phone call thing will be good.Tell him that first night get some good sleep cause that wake up call is no joke lol.
I would do it all over again in a heart beat..i hope i helped and i hope your son gets to go to FUMA..best school i ever went to.
