The alumni of EMA are proud of its involvement in a novel which in several ways accurately depicts the school and several of those involved in running it. Since they are now deceased, this is intended to honor their memories, and goochelaaar, whoever is hiding bbehind that absurd screen name, is earning considerable dislike from former cadets. You are not contributing to the value of wikipedia by suppressing this information.
Furthermore, the book has been nominated for a 2008 Sidewise Award for best alternate history. That hardly qualifies as spam, unless you also intend to delete all past winners of a Sidewise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.236.147.99 (talk) 00:03, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The, "Nabel" boys went to EMA circa 1965; I was about 13yrs old, 7th grade..It was a great experience, proud to have gone there. Learning skills and techniques one would never recieve in a public school. Horsemenship, coordinated marching, discipline, honor, cool uniforms etc. It also had challenges, being away from your parents and friends. But where-else would you learn how to sit, stand, walk, coordinated marching, etc... I look back and Im grateful i and my two brothers were given this opportunity from our parents. I have to admit, in the beginning we were homesick and wanted to go home, but that was normal i suppose, and things turned out good especially from being part of the calvery division. Learning how to ride, english style, and compete in equistrian competitions, barrel racing, jumping,careing for "your" horse, feeding, cleaning hooves, etc.. all at a young age... We were in the MACY'S DAY PARADE, on horseback! So very cool!!!
But that ended for us after three years and we returned to public school. Myself going back into the 10th grade, Carey H.S.
Funny story, in public when a teacher asked a question, I quickly learned you dont need to stand up at attention to answer...lol.
