Major Smith was in charge when I was there. It allowed me to crawl out of the slum I lived in downtown Orlando and thrive. The food was great, military style housing. I became Assistant House Man. Moved to Dock Foreman. They give you every chance to succeed if you persevere and do your best doing your best.
I don't think I paid over 5 grand but the 2 times I was in Orlando ARC Florida they kept 75% of my SSI check for boarding and food yet it's suppose to be free plus you work 40hours a week for free.
