  • We got an inside look at what it's like on the first day for new cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Over 1,200 cadet candidates arrived on campus on a sweltering July morning for "Reception Day." After an emotional farewell with their families, the new cadets took the first steps of a rigorous six-weeks-long basic training regimen.

    One of the biggest regrets in my life was not taking advantage of an opportunity provided to me while in basic training to go to a year prep school, then attend west point. Throughout my time in service, every west point officer I met was top notch. Everything came together for me after serving. The GL Bill paid for my college education at UT Austin, which I loved, I bleed burnt orange. But for me, and who I am, west point would have been a better fit.

    Back in 1985 i joined the Army as a 19E. ONSUT at Ft Knox and then off to Ft Stewart, GA for my first duty station. I was there about 2 months when I got a letter through the unit ordering me to attend a meeting on post. It was a meeting about attending the West Point Prepatory School, at the time in Ft Monmouth, NJ.
    I kick myself for not completing the paperwork and see if I could gain acceptance to West Point. At the time I believe I was identified due to my high ASFAB score. If I could go back to my 18 year old self, I'd impress upon him how beneficial West Point could be in a future he could not possibly imagine.

    I was in the USMA class of 1965, "Strength and Drive". We were taught "Duty, Honor, Country". At the time I believed in that code absolutely. I served two tours in Vietnam, even though I realised half way through my first tour that the war was pointless, immoral and, perhaps worst of all, unwinnable. The West Point ethos, sadly, is a myth based on invalid and outdated ideals of service to one's country, whether right or wrong. You may think my negative attitude is colored by my experiences in Vietnam and you may be correct; I saw far too many of my classmates go home in coffins. But We MUST learn to think for ourselves and not just blindly accept that "our side is always right, even if it is wrong". Otherwise, our democracy, fought and died for by so many, is doomed.

      ​@@mickbourne3028 I mean the guy said "Wait for (all or the whole?) commands without doing things on initiative" which isn't really the same as what you said. I believe he's saying make sure you have all the information, and act according to that information instead of acting upon misunderstandings or incomplete orders.
      We are obviously both missing some important context to the situation, but what I assume happened, is he gave part of an order like "Put on your camelbacks and pick up....", some cadets started acting upon those orders preemptively by putting on their camelbacks, and he's saying "Wait for all commands without doing things on your own initiative", meaning wait for me to finish my mf sentence lmao.
      Plus, the cadets in the video were brand brand new, so taking orders and ingesting all of the information, an important aspect of life in the military, may be something that they've never learned. Also, these instructors are also cadets, so they obviously get some training in initiative throughout the process.

      In fact, I don’t even think that the initial “basic training” environment is a bad thing since it gives every soldier something in common and standardized the way we communicate/work on certain tasks.
      My main point is that forcecomm emphasized how I need to think for myself and get out of the by the book mentality thus the way I’ve been conditioned in the actual military is in direct opposition to the very first lessons everybody coming off the streets who puts on that uniform learns.

So many neat things you do like fire a weapon or multiple weapons do some crazy obstacle courses get lost in the woods and find your way out, do a lot of camping and running around. If I was younger I would do it all over again.

    I was drafted in August 1968. At the start of basic training after testing six of us were brought to a movie theater on base to watch an army film on the West Point Preparatory Academy. We were being offered the opportunity to attend. After attending the Preparatory Academy for a year you received an appointment to West Point.
    I indicated that I was interested in attending. I think I was the only one of the six. I was very excited until a couple of days later I was told that I was ineligible because I would be beyond the maximum age allowed (25) at graduation from West Point. Very disappointed. Why didn't they check my age before showing me the film? Anyway I attended Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning and was commissioned much sooner (August 1969) than I would have bee had I attended the academy.
