This morning, the Class of 2026 stepped onto the field at Michie Stadium for Graduation, the last chapter of their cadet experience before taking the oath as U.S. Army officers later today.

From Rich Hooker

IOBC Aug ‘ 81. Laying on the ambush line in the rain for hours. Suddenly, Dave Pelizzon pipes up - "it's my ambush & I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to - u would cry too if it happened to u." We burst out laughing.
Ambush 👎, morale 👍

Well, ANOTHER great-looking Classmate (it’s GOT to be the haircut) has gotten in on the action at Mark’s request.

Here’s “The Crazy Colonel” Dan “Rags” Ragsdale with wise words for us all.

There’s 1 day left for the West Point Challenge. Only $5!

[USMA Class of 1981 @USMA1981]

Hey… If Tony says it just $5, then it’s $5!

[West Point AOG @WPAOG]

It’s $5. Not $5,000.
Not a new building.
Not a tank.

Just $5 to be counted in the West Point Challenge 3-7 May. That $5 drives participation, unlocks challenge funds, and shows up for cadets.

Step up. Be counted. Give $5: https://t.co/gQ0ojGHdJd
