Things from the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief

  1. FOR YOUR EARS - THE ODIA MIXTAPES

    Great job by ODIA. A simple idea executed brilliantly. Here’s what THE KIDS ARE LISTENING TO these days.

    When you’re done browsing…pick a song or two and give it a DEEP LISTEN

  2. FOR YOUR EYEBALLS - GRADUATION GIG POSTER

    What if West Point milestones were concerts? Well, they’d have gig posters, d’uh. So, naturally, here is our LIMITED EDITION GRADUATION GIG POSTER we’re only printing 50 of these.

  3. FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK

    It’s not an easy thing to properly commemorate Memorial Day. But each Memorial Day weekend we do our collective best. SEE IT THROUGH + IN CASE I AM LOST are our attempts.

  4. WE ARE SELL OUTS

    So, we’re not saying we told you so but…wait, now I’m hearing that’s exactly what we’re saying. Both the NO SUBSTITUTE CAMP FLAG and the SING SECOND PENNANT are sold out.

    But a few ROCK THE BLACK GOLD PENNANTS are available.

  5. CADET COMPANIES

    We’re on a mission to gather together a living history of USMA’s 36 Cadet Companies Mascots/Logos/Mottos. How are we planning on doing that? LIKE THIS

  6. HAS THE CORPS?

    It’s a worthwhile debate…JOIN THE DISCUSSION or BUY THE PRINT

  7. GO HOME

    The virtual commission was something we never could have anticipated and all USMA cadets have been living at home here in 2020. So, nows a good time to explore THE FIRST CENTURY of cadet living.

  8. UNCLE RICO? NO, COACH WEST

    Army Sprint Football Head Coach Mark West (USMA 1991) celebrated a birthday this week. We think he looks pretty dang cool IN THIS PHOTO.

  9. THIS WEEK’S MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS

    SMALL PRINT COLLECTION Our Instagram Feed but IRL (In Real Life).

    POLAROIDS long before I ever picked up a camera to pursue a career as a professional photographer, I had a clunky polaroid camera…LEARN MORE

    HATS One of my FAVORITE USMA THINGS

  10. MEDIA DIET - PICK 3

    Here’s what I’m digging:

    SHOW/SERIES: The Young Pope on HBO (check out this article on the shows TITLE SEQUENCE) ;

    DOCUMENTARY/SERIES: Babies on Netflix (look were the target audience with the CADET team’s newest intern arriving in late June, but should you watch it - DECIDE FOR YOURSELF);

    MUSIC: Buckskin Stallion Blues by Townes Van Zandt off MY 2020 PLAYLIST
