My Father was class of '52. Was 10 years later asked to come back and teach Military History and US Foriegn Policy from 62-67
This dude w the camera made me so motion sick moving it 20 mph
take a peek at mine :) it wont make you sick!
We had to rush to front standing position
Lmao I know
When they all threw their hats it was beautiful
Had to rewind that multiple times
Do they now all have two moms? Obese?
I was such a f*** up and wastoid when I was 19 and 20. I really admire people who have this level of focus & maturity at this age. I would up joining the Navy and retiring as a reservist. But still, it takes a special person to do what these people have done.
They literally repeated him saying “I [state your name]...” lol
Congratulations! Go USA!!
How can’t you respect the military ,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
hold the camera steady...damn it's like you're trying to give people motion sickness. You made that unwatchable!
A big congrats to you all !
Love you & pray for you all ❤️🙏‼️
Love that song so dam much. I went to three of these graduation services, for each of the class's I trained at Camp Buckner and Natural Bridge.I take a small amount of pride knowing that was a part of their development into leaders and Army Officers. I pray I did a good job. I never met a one who I would not follow into battle.Do what they ordered me to do, no matter the cost. HOOAHH !
Great comment, why we do this, let me know if you want to call our veterans Radio show. We are on every Monday at 230 EST on WVOX.COM.
Future lost butter bars. Just kidding, respect from the enlisted side.

Congratulations! But what happens to all the hats?
Goodbye knowing I am proud and protected
Congratulations, class 2019!
I dare say it must have been difficult not to swing the camera all the time. Next time you may want consider a tripod. Otherwise a slendid show.
Yes good point, the moment happens very fast, we are allowed to move forward to the side of the stage just before the last phase of the ceremony starts, sometimes i've used a monopod to hold the camera which helps. Key thing as you point is to move the camera slowly in trying to show all the faces and panorama. Thanks for your comment. Ken

Welcome to the Long Gray Line 2019
They attended a dumbed down version of West Point
From being snappy to being in the hood... but still snappy
Hopefully someone will know if they get their actual hat back or is it left behind...just always wondered..and Congratulations to all the graduates for their very hard work and study...
My understanding is they don't - they tuck money into the hats and children get to pick them up after and keep the money. That's what one video I watched said anyway!
Congrats to all
Graduated huh? Right then, get those stripes off, they belong to the workers 😁
Congratulations and happy soldiering, it's what you make of it.
Best profession in the world.
Army 1985-2010 retired.
Without the workers, the Army can't fight to win a war.
Show some respect.
@@yewtan1971 how about you read my comment again fuckwad, then delete your confused crap.
@@Goffas_and_gumpys sarcasm dim wit.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU WEST POINTER.....
And now the fun part retrieving one's hat. Lol
Henry Futch the graduates don’t get them back little siblings run on the field and keep them. I somehow got my brothers when I was like 5 amidst all the confusion
They don’t lol
Congrats to all, future top officers of the US ARMY and those accredited foreign students to the Armed Forces of their country as Generals.
How many cheated thsi year?🤣No one respects these actors with two moms.🤣
Diversity destroys.
E Pluribus Unum!
What a bunch of great looking soldiers. I feel safe and secure knowing that they are responsible for our freedom and security.
Amen to that!
Ha
Congratulations, class 2019 may those who passed will be a great leader for the nee generation.
dam,they REALLY EARNED this moment.
Are the uniform theirs with the cap or just on loan? How do retrieve their cap or is it picked up by the organizers and they pick it up later?
Jupe367
Hi Jupe, the uniforms belong to the cadets......if you lose your hat, so be it. It’s worth the loss. ( I never got my cap back )
For Excellence We Strive
USMA ‘85
Best of Luck Class of 2019.
@@micknavirruc8588 My grandson never let go of his. It still hangs over our fireplace.class 2001
All of you look magnificent and I wish you the best of what the Army has to offer. Serve with all your mind, heart and soul and remember that we are counting on you for you are the ones that will be leading our young men and women in future battles. God Bless and God Speed!
Follow me ! New US Army officers motto 💜 Follow me !
They are all Jesus!
All of you will go to Vietnam some of you comeback home some of you don't. 😕🙏
God Bless USA 🇺🇸
A butterbar with a compass is the worst navigational tool known to man.
Well done graduating cadets. Welcome to the corp of Army Officers 2019! Now begins your career as an officer of America's United States Army, do you duty well, your men and America's Freedom is counting on each of you.!
That’s right we are all counting on you!
For the saving grace of our beloved America.
minute 2:07 and beyond. Do nor forget your oath. Real Americans are behind you!
DAM YOU GUYS MUST BE VERY DISCIPLINED I AM JEALOUS
Congrats and welcome to the Officer Corps. But for the amateur videographer, please learn to pan slower so that the image isn't blurred from the too-fast camera movement.
Yes good point, we ate learning that there maybe better equipment we can use.
I think the female cadets should be able to wear pants the skirts don't fit correctly
Linda Thrall they are allowed to wear both. It’s their choice whether to wear pants or a skirt
If you want to be dizzy, keep on watching!
i literally met some of these guys two months ago oh my lord
Clare Logue academy cadets take 6 years active and 2 reserve I think
@@voidwalker3042 Almost. 5 years active and 3 years IRR (individual ready reserve; not the traditional Reserves). It changed in 1995 from 6/2.
I’m going to be there in day
Me too let’s make it happen! 💪🏾
All of the dislikes are marines
It probably is lol. Marine and all of my family went to the marines. I still think army is amazing
Or people who don't appreciate the military and the freedoms it provides them.
Or its the cameraman who needs to be fired.
Kinda wish the leader would emphasize on defending American from foreign AND DOMESTIC!!!
Thank you for you service!
DLTD
The army doesn’t really mess with domestic affairs. This is an army leader military academy
Fighting domestic threats on the ideological battlefield. These folks are well-trained in that regard as well.
Probably one of the strangest things: After 4 years of having various cadet ranks...and I'm sure working hard to achieve those ranks...NOW they are all "Butter Bar", 2nd Lieutenants. All the same!
God bless America
Thank you West Point Grads, Class of 2019.
I have a question, so when they graduate do the go right into the Army or do they need to do something else?
They Commission about an hour after graduation ends at individual ceremonies often in groups by teams. After they often have vacation time before heading to a duty station or an Army training course.
w
Women ruined West Point
How ANYONE can go through 4 years of that BS...is beyond me. My hat would be off to them (if I wore a hat!). Good Luck to all!
Very brave and deceplined young people ,world needs more of them ,
the academy is pretty selective on admissions, the people who can't or won't do it don't get in or will leave early
I love this atmosphere
Four years soon congratulations
Bless these young men form Canada 🇨🇦 bothers forever America 🇺🇸
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 6:25
Congratulations to the class of 2019. God's speed. Beat Navy!

Loved every bit of this
Guy at 6:19 were ready to dismiss
Go ARMY.
This video is really sickening....really amateurish, so bad that I stopped viewing it, the continuous moving really gave me a head ache.
You know they say when you go to war fought for the rich like me was this time we putting rich people down on the battlefield they don't fight for the poor cousin poor people tired of fighting for the rich people😮

Roger Brady How did you spell the word congratulations?
Loved it. Didn't think the camera was jumping.
이 순간까지 자제와 참음 굳건함으로 이루어 왔지만. 이 순간이 지나서는 후리덤이지요. 하하. 우리 전체 사회도 이 순간이 오기를 저는 기다리고 있는 거지요. 꼭 적이 무기를 들고 적과의 대치하는 것만 적이 아닙니다. 하찮게 알았던 코로나도 같은 적. 심지어 더 독한 놈이지요. 여러 곳에 극복의 순간에 참지 못하고 화내고 싸우고 한명 적을 약점을 알고 더 큰 괴롭힘을 우리에게 주지요. 꼭 군대의 모습이 아니어도 이런 도전은 도처에 너무 많이 존재합니다. 잘 극복해야지요.
Congratulations 👍🇺🇸👏
How are the cadets gonna find their hats since they threw them in the air?
That is the end if the cover, children are allowed to run in and pick up a hat and take home as a souvenir. Immediately after ceremony the new Graduates change into their officer uniforms with new covers for their commissioning ceremonies an hour or so later.
SO HELP ME GOD!! THESE WORD IS ALWAYS!! AND THAT'S WHY GOD ALWAYS BLESS THE AMERIKA🇺🇸
Class of 2019 dis missed YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa 6:21
Slow down with the camera..................good lord
Sorry we started while still moving forward, did not want to miss the intro on the Alma Mater.
You are watching this cuz the man uploaded the video. How about you show some appreciation instead of complaining? Holy shit, people nowadays.
give mine a peek
@@whosyourdaddy5719 true, it is a choice to watch
Little suprised to see women in skirts. Has it always been so?
My understanding is female cadets have option on that.
01. 「Japan」 ⇒「World Emperor」⇒「Cow」⇒「E = Eagle」
02. 「USA」=「Emperor's Son」⇒「Cow Boy / Texas」⇒「Counry」⇒「Civil War / USA.
03. 「USA」=「Emperor's Son, 6th=Star」⇒「1 Star / Texas」⇒「13 Star / US Flag.
04. 「Japan 」=「Emperor's Son, 5th=Shine」⇒「Sun Shine」⇒「Rising Sun / Navy Flag.
I think the oath lacked more passion, more courage, and the anthem too
Someday I will go to West Point 🇹🇭🇺🇸
big mistake they will steal the best years of your life.
Go NAVY. Beat Army!
There are many courses that can be officers. But is it better to graduate from West Point University to have a higher rank?
Graduates of West Point receive the same initial rank 2nd Lt as graduates of ROTC and Officer Candidate School. As careers develop West Point graduates tend to do very well in earning important assignments and promotions. West Point graduates form a very important network and often call upon each other for advice and assistance.
Thank you very much for your reply.
just what the army needs more female officers with double chins............ HOOOOAHHHHHHHH
Congrats USMA batch 19, 2nd Lt. James Tyler. From Philippines.
Yes....the quality of the video is pathetic....
GRATULATION FOR A GREAT NATION !!#germany is not proud of your self !
Fue un bonito día la verdad de la carrera militar vino después al ser un oficial novato el destino es, lo que dejan al novato islas Canarias destino un guarnición de la lejionen española en isla del hierro dos años la oportunidad surje cuando la contra para desarmar se en Nicaragua pide páresensia de oficiales españoles sobre el terreno 22 meses i asín asta mis días de misión en misión esta en Afganistán es la última me jubilan suerte a todos
The oath this class just took is extremely important. May each graduate be faithful and remember the ethics and lessons learned at this great Academy.. Our military are our heroes. May you all be blessed in your sacrifice and love of your country..
My son wants to go to West Point what’s the best way for him to try to get in? I’ve heard it’s hard to get into West Point.
West Point is one of the best schools in the US so getting is pretty hard ,but if your son is dedicated enough he will be able to get in, a couple of things he should probably do to up his chances to go to West Point is him joining ROTC, doing some sort of team sport like American football or soccer, finishing high school early is also really good because the people over at West Point see that as a effort being made towards getting into the school, having good grades and having a fit body will also help much and probably the most important things of all being that he is 100 percent sure of this and has a desire to go through hell to serve his country. West Point is a hard academy to be able to get into and an even harder one to stay in but if your son wants to go through the path of becoming an officer in the Army he has probably picked one of the best life goals out there, just make sure to support him and don't help to much a part from where its needed. A while ago I had someone young come up to me and ask the same thing and now he is a Major in the Army, I'm sure your son will be able to make it through and become an officer and one day you will surely see him with excitement and an indescribable level of proudness as he stands on the same field with the same beautiful uniform swearing oath as a new officer. Good luck, hope he makes it.
I would love to see this day in about 7 years.
un officier qui sort de cette école équivaut a un sous officier Français ou anglais !!!!
Larga vida a la Doctrina Militar de los Estados Unidos. Dios los bendiga.
whoever was taking the video ought to learn how to scan with it
I took the video using hand held mobile, maybe should have used a mono leg stand. It is a very wide angle scene and we try to get as many faces in as possible. This is of one of our most watched videos. Just being given access to that moment is extraordinary.
All the best!

Why do they have enlisted ranks on their arms?
Those stripes represent their positions in the Corps of Cadets.
8:50 song name please ?
Geez, hold the camera still for a while. This much movement is typical of someone who knows jack about videography.
We fired the videographer.
Is this for real? It is so oily it could be a commercial for soap
