Come cheer on our West Point Rabble Rousers at 1 PM in Christl Arena! They have been working hard to perfect their routines for nationals in Florida next week. Congratulations on your hard work and go Rabs 📣

Last weekend the Class of 2028 welcomed family and friends to Plebe Parent Weekend. Cadets had the opportunity of showcasing their daily lives in the halls of Thayer, Arvin gym, and even their barracks. This weekend marks the first time plebes assume leadership roles, as the upper class departs for spring leave. The close collaboration and leadership between cadets and faculty allowed for a wonderful parade and banquet. Finally, the Class of 2028 is proud to have revealed their class crest to carry forward the legacy of the long gray line. We thank all the families for their unwavering support to their cadets. #nocallingtoogreat

Last night, The Class of 2028 revealed their class crest during the Plebe Parent Weekend Banquet! This marks a large milestone for the class that serves as a promise to our Army’s values of Duty, Honor, and Country. We thank our cadets, families, friends, faculty, our 50 year affiliate class, and the Ring and Crest Committee for their continued dedication to support and serve the Class of 2028 throughout their journey here at West Point. The future is bright for these cadets. #NoCallingToGreat

As the weekend draws closer, here is your Brigade PPW Staff! #NoCallingTooGreat #Classof2028

This morning Cadets and the West Point community came together for the Fallen Comrades half marathon/ruck. We honored the lives of 13 members of the long gray line who made the ultimate sacrifice. Today and every day we remember the legacy they left and strive to follow their example of selfless service and courage.

This morning 2nd regiment plebes staged for a team workout consisting of a mile run, pushups, burpees, low crawl, high crawl, and another mile run. Cadets pushed themselves and their teammates! As we approach Plebe Parent Weekend, the rest of the regiments will complete this workout. #1percentbettereveryday

Happy Friday! This week cadets have been getting after it academically and physically. Have a great long weekend!

Good luck to all the plebes taking the MA104 WPR! #beatthedean

Amazing job to all of the members of the Class of 2028 who participated in the 100th Night Show! Whether you were behind the scenes or on the stage, your hard work and dedication helped put together a great and memorable show for the Firsties! #100thnightshow #USMAClassof2028

Last weekend, the Corps of Cadets participated in the annual Norwegian Footmarch (31 January 2025). We’re super proud of all of the members of the Class of 2028 who take part in the tradition and who successfully completed the march! Shoutout to CDT PVT Jack Gartman from West Point’s Black and Gold Sandhurst for running the fastest plebe time at 2 hours 55 minutes. We love to see Plebes demonstrating excellence every day!! History: The Norwegian Foot March originated in 1915 as a test of endurance for Norwegian soldiers, designed to assess their ability to move large units of troops over long distances (18.6 miles), while maintaining combat readiness by carrying a heavy rucksack (minimum of 25lbs) over a set distance within a specific time limit. Today, the Norwegian Foot March is not only conducted by Norwegian military personnel but also other military branches as well as civilians. It is a challenging endurance event, often held as a competition in which Males compete to finish in under 4hrs 30 mins and females compete to finish in under 5hrs 20 mins.

The Class of 2028 had their majors fair today! Cadets will begin choosing their academic majors with they will pursue for the rest of their time at the Academy. #beatthedean

Snowy Days at the Point

First week of semester 2 done! This week cadets set up rooms, began classes, got back into practice for their teams, reconnected with friends, and set out on rucks.

Welcome back 2028! We hope everyone had a good reorganization day. After a well deserved holiday leave let’s get excited to crush second semester. #beatthedean

As 2024 comes to a close, the class of 2028 would like to recognize the friends, family, and community that has supported the corps. Their unwavering encouragement has allowed Cadets to excel in training and in the classroom. Navigating these past 6 months has been a community effort and the class of 2028 is grateful to have the best one! Photos from USMA Flickr

Just yesterday, the class of 2028 stepped off just after 0300 to begin their 12 mile march back. After a long summer filled with many military qualifications, rigorous trainings and a thrilling time at Lake Fredrick, the class of 2028 marched back with pride displaying their motto “No Calling too Great.” The new cadets gripped hands for the first time with their 50 class affiliates from the class of 1978. The new cadets have now been introduced to their academic year companies and are hustling around to get ready for A-day, their first SAMI and their classes. In just a few short days these new cadets will become plebes! #2028 #1978 #nocallingtoogreat

West Point Survival Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VQyZZ8tPcRm3TUpUGnQ3m3ShN98fTBuJrhGNIdMoUuc/edit?usp=sharing This document has many pieces of great advice to help you prepare for West Point and your time at the academy. If you don’t find it useful now, keep it tabbed for the academic year where I am sure you will want to refer back to it. Good luck to everyone getting ready, you have so many people rooting you on. The biggest piece of advice anyone can give you is to keep a positive mindset. If it’s pouring down rain at 0530 during PT - stay positive, if a squad member is struggling through BEAST and isn’t the best teammate - stay positive, when your battle buddy is getting smoked repeatedly for the same thing - stay positive and drop with them, because the time will come when you mess up too (which is totally okay so don’t get upset when you do). You will be surprised how far a smile and a helping hand will go. Be a good teammate and the rest will follow.
