For the past few year's I was grateful and I've experienced a lot of the military lifestyle. No offense to the entire Corp. Being born here has it's limits," the first person that told me about the ratline was my best friend Brian Bopp L.H.Hurbut's son.

Year after year I've seen Cadets come and go way before these little rascals ever heard of The Virginia Military Institute. This university is way more remarkable than the other's because some of the core had no idea that they were going to be at a military school way before that they never heard of the town ever since then when this university known me as a child from certain people I was just like the cadets," meeting them from year to year spend a little time with them and seeing them at sporting events and at bars. Alot of people never had that certain experience of eating in the mess hall years ago like me for instance but that type of life was way more fortunate and impeccable for me then as I met certain facility workers over the year's,because some of ya'll can see me at certain ball games,since then I was a client at the Rockbridge area occupational center in buena vista i worked with disabled people blind people people in wheelchairs. where our former Soccer Coach Ben Freakley and his team helped cleaned and redecorate our building do to one of my bestfriends that I went to school with from your alumnus Brian Sandridge Rob Senn, Ivan Mogensen, Mike Hutchings etc...Eversince 1902 where my cousins relatives worked here. Swimming in the pool was required at Basketball camp because that was one of the experiences that I had since I was 10 carrying my Redskins Duffle bag to the pool with a towel and swim trunks going off the diving board. Being named after one of the former football Coaches was a privilege and an honor. I'm part Franklin,Long,Borgus known as Bogus,Hubbard and Evans. Another experience was eating in the mess hall," it's better than eating chicken wings on Friday night's at Macados. Where I got to know and meet a couple cadets because I speak straight from the heart of the Corp. Of what I think and feel. But I have been affiliated and associated with Vmi for along time now.

Not sure what to do in Lexington, Virginia? Start with a tour of the Virginia Military Institute. Let the GPS take you on to the campus and work your way through the campus to the parade grounds. This is the large open field in the center of the campus. Parking is on the far side along the campus's commanding officer's housing. To find the museum locate the campus's chapel. It is free and don't hesitate to enter the chapel. It is gorgeous. The museum is an elevator ride down to the second floor. Great little museum with lots of historic military items. Check out General Stonewall Jackson's horse Little Sorrel. Highly recommend you take the walking tour. This free tour is lead by a senior cadet and you will have a great opportunity to ask all kinds of questions while getting a in depth look at the campus. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the campus. It was a buzz with cadets going about their daily routine. Come early for the cadets marching to breakfast, or come late and watch the entire school march to dinner. We missed it put would have loved to seen the...

Hello Friends, Bubba "Big BM" Mack reporting. I came to Lexington looking for the BM Institute (BMI) but my GPS kept bringing me here. I'm guessing that BMI moved without giving notice, or I typed in VMI, not BMI. I was hoping to pick up some of the newest BM literature to use in my frequent BM presentations around the country. Anyway, I had a chance to walk the grounds and I observed a crowd of honorable youths, all smiling, so I knew they were enjoying good BMs with every trip to the latrine (that's military for bathroom). I wanted to go into the mess hall (military for dining hall), but that is not open to the public. I'm pretty sure they have a wide variety of selections for the cadets (military for students), leading to good, healthy BMs. I was able to visit a spot in the barracks (military for dormitory) and enjoyed a nice submarine (military for a submersible vessel) sandwich. If you find yourself in Lexington make time for a stop at Natural Bridge and VMI - both are worth a visit from every tourist. This is Bubba "Big BM" Mack wishing you good travels...
