Tyler Gunther and his 2 buddies Dustin Springer and Avery Dost run a military facility for kids who are about to age out of the foster system or are unwanted due to unruliness. It has been running for 5 years and has helped over 30 teens. 15 of which who went on to join the military. Tyler and his buddies are all former active duty Marines, they served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria together making them very close friends. Being former military they really do offer a real military style experience. The kids get up every day at 05:00 sharp and go to bed at 23:00, NO exceptions. The kids are kept in barrack style rooms that contain 4 bunk beds, with a desk and a storage area for each kid. There are 2 rooms 1 for boys and 1 for girls but since they rarely get girls most of the time both rooms are used for boys. They make sure that the girls and boys never share a room. The room is attached to a bathroom that has 2 toilet stalls and a shower area. The kids go to a local highschool and it's followed by military style structure when they come home. First homework and chores are done then usually some PT or drills. Anything below a C in school earns you consequences which is normally PT, drills or losing phone privileges. Devices are heavily monitored any apps not related to school are severely restricted with a parental control app. The facility occasionally adopts kids between 10-14 years old but they normally just foster kids between 14-17. They are currently housing 8 boys between the ages of 15-17. They have all been there for at least 6 months so they for the most part the boy are well behaved. But obviously when teen boys are put together chaos is bound to happen no matter how much discipline is instilled. (You are the new kid pick everything about you but you must be between 10-17 years old. Info about the Tyler, Dustin and Avery are in the comments)
