THE SPARTAN LIFESTYLE
Living in Barracks
At VMI, cadets live in a shared environment with roommates, open doors, and limited personal space. Privacy is minimal, and daily life takes place in a community where accountability and interaction are constant.
The open-door environment encourages camaraderie, mentorship, and connection. Roommates become teammates, classmates, and often lifelong friends.
Living in barracks teaches cadets how to adapt, communicate, and put the needs of the team ahead of personal comfort.
It's not always easy, but that's the point.
The Spartan lifestyle is designed to challenge cadets, remove distractions, and create an environment where personal growth happens every day.

THE SPARTAN LIFESTYLE
At VMI, rats spend part of their first year with limited access to their phones—an experience that can seem unimaginable in today's world.
But something interesting happens when the screen goes away.
Conversations become more meaningful. Friendships grow stronger. Focus improves. Shared experiences replace social feeds.
By removing distractions, VMI creates an environment where rats can fully invest in their classmates, their responsibilities, and their personal growth.
That's the Spartan lifestyle.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"Jesus defeated death so you can live."
Charlie Kirk posted this powerful message just days before he was shot and killed during a college event in Utah. He leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two young children.
@ElanCatoe is putting in the work to get noticed this summer. An extremely competitive Lineman who is going to impact the next level. Coaches don't wait for this talented prospect.
