Founded in 1898 through the dedication and support of a handful of caring families, Fork Union Military Academy's traditions continue and the Academy's best days lie ahead.
I'm Louis Cook James and I attended Fork Union Military Academy, (Fork Union, VA.) for 5th and 6th grades. Hated it. Prior to to that I attended Linton Hall Military School, (Bristow, VA.) from 1964 - 1968, (2nd - 4th grades) Hated it. So, my parents transferred me over to Sanford Preparatory School, (Hockessin, DE) a boarding school for rich hippy kids. Expelled.
I went there from 1967 to 1971........Remember it like yesterday. I was there when they shot Dr. King, the first Super Bowl was played, Woodstock happened, Janis and Jimmy died, and they walked on the moon. All this with Vietnam as a backdrop.
i am currently a post grad at FUMA and dispit what most cadets say it is a great place to be if you imbrace the life style.

I went there for 2 year back in the early 80's . In those two years they really shaped the character of the man I am today.

'74...all these years and I'm willing to bet I couldn't get across that circle without my arm coming up.
