Easy why I’m seeing this! My children’s father graduated in 1974. Very emotional day for me then! Just HAD to see how Trump screwed up the commencement, just so he had a photo op!!!!....DEMANDING all cadets had to come back despite Covid so he could make a speech! Very, despicable man! The highlight was, after his pitiable speech... So glad he had to spend over an hour saluting the graduates !!!!!

50 years ago I was at West Point as a Military Police Sergeant, Desk Sergeant, and Patrol Supervisor. Things have changed in terms of layout and facilities. It was during Vietnam and we had funeral duty almost every week. I lost track of how many 2nd Lieutenants we buried. It was also during Kent State and we practiced with riot gear. During my time there Eisenhower died, Patton the movie was released and I saw George C. Scott and Omar Bradley. Coach K was there and Tennis player Arthur Ashe. Bobby Knight was here as coach and I ticketed him for illegal parking behind the cadet mess. He was not a happy camper! Also there when MyLai massacre story broke and ABC news came in by copter to interview Gen. Koster. Too many stories to relate.

No disrespect to ROTC or Enlisted but thats just how i look at it

WOW! Mad respect to those who attend West Point!

Fun fact: Contreras is a small village in northern Spain. It's right next to the locations where they shot the scenes from the cemetery, prison camp and bridge explosion in the movie The Good The Bad And The Ugly. It's a nice place.

I visited as a ROTC student in the spring of 1970. The plebes were lucky to get anything to eat at meals as a result of the hazing of the upper class cadets at their table. The classes were interesting and I was surprised at how many questions I was asked about ROTC.

Yes, most units in the Army is not like this, particularly on the enlisted side of the house. You do PRT in the morning, or afternoon depending on the time of year. You go to work from 0900 to 1700 or when released, and most weekends you are off, unless on mission or on duty (CQ, Staff Duty, Extra duty). For military academies, the different customs are designed to instill discipline and traditional values in the cadets.

MUST WATCH "PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY" WHEN ITS TIME TO EAT

ITS GOOD TO BE IN USMA RATHER THAN PHILIPHINE MILITARY ACADEMY

My dad went to West Point and taught there, seems a little more lax in this video. They had limited numbers of chews when they ate, their bites had to be a certain size in proportion to their forks, AND it was their responsibility to fill upperclassmen's drinks among other responsibilities during mealtimes. I don't know how they got any food down. Even today, it's one of the toughest academies in the world to get into. Props to you guys!

I was impressed by a custom of a class reunion when a graduate attended his class reunion of 50 years. The first thing his class did upon arrival and gathering together was to visit the cemetery to pray and give respect to those who went before them. The long grey line. I don’t know if all classes at their reunions do the same thing.
