New Beginnings

Class of 2029 declares HOLD THE LINE during March Back at the conclusion of Beast in August 2025.

First, congratulations to the incoming Class of 2029! HOLD THE LINE! We hope you enjoyed Acceptance Day with your Cadet and had a little downtime with them before they started their first academic year.

The Class of 2028 are no longer plebes or plucks anymore… they are YUKs and ready to take on the responsibilities of team leader! No longer just followers, they will mentor one or two of the plebes in the class of 2029. They are ready for this role and will be graded on not only how they do but on how their plebe does as well.

The Class of 2027 took the Oath of Affirmation affirming their commitment to complete the next two years of study and their active-duty service requirements as an Army Officer. A special night with speeches and members of the affiliate class joining them! They are now the NCOs of the Corps assuming even more leadership roles.

Last but not least, congratulations to the Class of 2026 as they are now the Firsties, the Cadets in the Red Sash, and the Officers of the Corps of Cadets! This past weekend was the first of many milestones their final year with ring weekend.

Class of 2026 celebrate ring weekend in their red sashes as Firsties, August 2025.

"What a crass mass of brass and glass!" Enjoy every moment with them this year as they have earned this. They have many requirements and much to do before graduation and tossing of that white cap in the air so there will be no let up on the gas. Can you believe it’s been over 1100 days that they started their Reception Day?!?
