The Carolina Military Institute (CMI), from Pat Conroys book (and later, a movie) The Lords of Discipline, is based on The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina and the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), but the location used in the filming of the movie was Wellington College the United Kingdom. The cadet drum-out scene is similar to a traditional ceremony that was practiced at VMI. The same ceremony is now modified, most significantly without the disgraced Cadet present.
