A military structured program would be good for the kids, teaching them discipline and responsibility; this would be a great opportunity for former service personnel. Kids join gangs because they want to belong and this would be a great alternative to the gang culture. It is too late for older gang members but young wannabe’s may want to join and take pride in their accomplishment.

I had completely forgotten that during Jr. HS (1962-65) I was in the CA Cadet Corps and part of the rifle and drill teams. The rifle team practiced after school at a local HS that had a 50 foot indoor range. I don’t recall who provided the rifles and ammo but our team was pretty good as most of us were farm boys who had already been around firearms for years. The drill team marched on campus with demilled 03 Springfields. When I got to HS I was still a part of Cadet Corps and was participating again on the rifle and drill teams. However with the Vietnam War heating up the HS Cadet Corps program became politically incorrect and was shut down at the end of my sophomore year. My how times change.
