  • The West Point Band leads the freshman class of US Military Academy Class of 2023 in "Pass and Review" in front of Superintendent's residence. The festive moment concludes the traditional 12 mile march from Camp with full packs from Cadet Basic Training known as "Beast Barracks". Just under 1,200 New Cadets from all 50 states and 15 allied countries arrived on July 1st R-Day. Class motto unveiled is "Freedom is Not Free".

    Send these kids to Ft. Leonardwood for some real shaping of true soldiers with A Company 1-48th, forget about a petty 6 week field training “summer camp”, can’t even stay in step, no discipline drill sergeant, think they need more corrective training drill sergeant lol. We rucked 12 miles every other week, ran 4 miles every other day and muscle failure those other days. We spent hours marching in formation down to a science and only senior knows how dedicated and willing we were to train how we fight. We slept little, went on night missions and raids that focused on realism and tactics or else we did it all again. Going through Basic Training and AIT really shaped those of us that went straight to ROTC afterwards to value our military bearing, strength, fitness and training.

      Salti Dawg Thank you for your service sir first off. However, I went through basic training and AIT for 17 weeks with the hardest and most squared away companies that when I arrived to my ROTC, everyone from the cadets to the LTC said I was the most squared away person. To have experienced all I went through to then go 4 years to become an officer really puts me in the shoes of the enlisted men I will later command and gives me the military bearing and discipline that many of my peers lack or will never receive.
