Military school movies in the '80s? Yeah, they were a thing, though "Taps" and "Lords of Discipline" rose to the top of the ranks thanks to amazing casting with the likes of Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, David Keith and many others. Citadel graduate and former co-host Chase Squires returns to Stuck in the '80s to separate faction from fiction, and to share a few incredible stories of life inside a military academy in the '80s.

Seggies this week include Stuck in the Arcade, Take this Job and Shove It, and What's Your '80s Obsession?
