West Point Class of 2024 Armor Post Night

USMA Class of 2024 Armor cadets choose their U.S. Army posts during Post Night at the U.S. Military Academy, February 28, 2024. Cadets will report to their chosen posts after commissioning and graduating from the Basic Officer Leaders Course.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point's mission is "to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army."

Still baffled by so many people sleeping on Bliss as their first duty station and opting for Fort Cavazos instead. I notice this trend every year.

I know why I chose 2/1CD as a 2LT, but that was because we were all chasing deployments to Afghanistan during GWOT. Why do so many Armor LTs today prefer Fort Cav to Fort Bliss?

Why is the armor branch rep wearing combat jump wings and the screaming eagles unit patch? Shouldn't he be armor not infantry/airborne.

I am German; do graduates choose their first job there? And if so, is this linked to the performance achieved during training? Germany would need a system like that -

Gentlemen, I can personally understand losing one's conviction regarding "duty, " perhaps even "country, " but to remove "honor, " from the code ensures that you will only produce the worst of people willing to kill and lead other men to do the same, for what some politician finds convenient in that moment. Shameful. Even after I voluntarily separated from the academy, after learning what I needed too; the idea that West Point stands (stood) for HONOR gives me chills. The new motto is ridiculous and being devoid of honor, its most important virtue, and the primary reason I attended to begin with, I am now embarrassed to be associated with that institution. Return HONOR to the motto or USMA will stand for the worst of the worst. Ya'll have lost your way, please correct course.
God Bless

What a shame to delete duty, honor and country from mission statement. Every cadet should make known their disgust.
