I agree with the statement above. Growing up in NTM I was excited to go through the training and return overseas to work in the tribe. The staff was brutal and my thought was " They don't want us in the mission." Every time we turned around we were made to do something else. Picked on and pulled apart. Working very long hours no matter what. The opening of Mississippi boot camp was an eye opener. I remember working from breakfast till lunch,,lunch till supper and then being made to work after supper till late, which in itself was fine. The problem was that my friend ans I were high as kites painting the bathroom walls with palyurethane and no ventilation. Boot camp was a living nightmare, we were raising a nudist because our baby had such bad diaper burn that the nurses told us to keep the diaper off and just cover her. One staff family, the wife stayed in their appartment and NEVER talked or visited students. The staff couldn't even agree or even meet with us when a family member got extremely sick and we were trying to decide what would be best. Students were the scum and had to take what they thought God's will was and you had no say. We made it through to language school but what a disfunctional group of men.
