      my girls state was at the same time on the same campus as boys state and we would always get a kick out of seeing them marching or doing push-ups!! aside from mentioning ALA programming it had nothing military related - we just ran our government and made s’mores lol

    babes i’m not even kidding. there was this guy i went to high school with and he went to boys state AND WAS IN THE DOCUMENTARY. i was gagged. i did a podcast ep with him sometime in high school where a few kids talked about politics and society and stuff. girlllllllllllll it was genuinely scary because how do you even begin to tell someone that the nationalist ideas they have are… literally bad?? like there’s no other way of putting it HAHAHA

    Fellow girl stater here!! Louisiana Girl State was def sorority boot camp and had cult vibes when I look back now. No marines present, but we had to sing for our food, chant any time we were walking, and sing stupid songs any time we saw boy state walking by. The grand finale of boy/girl state week was a dance we both attended and the DRAMA of the evening was incredible. Love this podcast and I laughed so hard this whole episode!! Love yall!! ✌

    I went to Maryland Boys State in 1994 (yes, I’m old). At that time, it was like what is described in the video. Held at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Marines were assigned to each “city,” and midshipmen from USNA were also involved. Marching, PT, yelling, saluting, etc. It was gung-ho. They still did the government stuff, too. I honestly thought all Boys State programs were like that until I just watched the documentary and saw that they aren’t. I’m not sure Maryland is anymore, either, to be fair. We had a bunch of old WW2 vets from the Legion in charge, too. I’m sure they’ve all passed on given that it was 30 years ago. Maybe the younger crowd of vets in the AL aren’t as keen as making it so gung-ho (I think each state gets to set its own rules for how it operates). I have fond memories of the program, to be fair.

    I know I'm late to this but I'm from Massachusetts and my high school boyfriend went to Boy State. It was basically what Andrew THOUGHT he was getting into -- socializing, networking, campaigning, etc. tbh they're probably military grooming NY boys bc New Yorkers are a different BREED.
