Things from the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief

  1. The unnatural “State of Things”

    captured by STAY-AT-HOME-CADETS, another classic interpretation by @CADETBORRIWED, and we are feeling for BG Buzzard, by the looks of HIS INSTAGRAM he seems to be really missing his Corps.

  2. CRYPTO CARTEL

    In VOL III of CADET we featured USMA ‘08’s Andy Mazieka and his creation CRYPTO CARTEL. A tabletop board game that is perfect for Shelter-in-Place agenda. GET YOURS ON AMAZON BELOW.

  3. Creators make creative adjustments

  4. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to FOLLOW A WORTHWHILE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT

    …we got you covered. This past week a fantastic new account popped-up. It’s all about OLD HOWITZERS and compliments nicely the work being done over on EXECUTION HOLLOW and SONS OF SLUM AND GRAVY

  5. OUR INSPIRATION

    We’d be lying if we said we weren’t trying to be the USMA community’s VICTORY JOURNAL - specifically this line, “…but our responsibility is not to document the current moment. We have to run something that will hold for two years or five years — the story needs to be temporal but also eternal.”

  6. Everyone right now seems to be loving our CADET Recipes Blog posts

    We got CONGO BAR, SPICY CHICKEN PATTY, and everyones fav COORN CHOWDER If you haven’t checked them out, now is a great time. And if you have a recommendation for our next recipe, LET US KNOW

  12. ONLY BORING PEOPLE GET BORED

    Here’s a list - 20 Things to Do While Working & Staying at Home share with us some of your favorite undertakings as you shelter-in-place



And lastly, we need your help. Actually, VOL V of CADET needs your help. Just like you and your profession, the current state of things has had and will to continue to have an effect on our operation. We are currently operating as close as we can to “business-as-usual” but several of our upcoming photo projects won’t be happening or were postponed until the fall. So, we have some openings for content in VOL V.

Do you want to contribute? Do you have something to say? A photo series or a single photo you think fits in line with our effort to highlight the intersection of West Point culture and art? A poem or some art? Submissions for VOL V are open now until May 15th, 2020. Drop us a note and let’s see if we can collaborate to make VOL V our best effort yet.
