    I will be going thru the same emotions this weekend as my 91 year old father- in law -who was a Korean War vet just passed (3 days after turning 91) and will have military honors this weekend at his service.

    Failing a class in Yuk year.

    I believe they lost more than that if turn backs are included in this count? for instance, 1229-1177 = 52 cadets fewer in the class size (but if turn backs are now added back in/included in this current class size then there would have had to have been more separated that resulted in that 1177...

    West Point Recondo badge

    I have heard about some cadets achieving the Recondo badge during CFT and there was discussion about what percentage of cadets achieve that?
