WEST POINT – Can you meet the challenge of West Point? The U.S. Military Academy will conduct a rehearsal for Reception Day from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. June 28 on the academy grounds. If you are interested, sign up to Be a Cadet for a Day!
Up to 300 members of the community are invited to assist the Corps of Cadets in preparation for the incoming Class of 2023. Participants will be given the opportunity to experience the initial transformation process from civilian to the military life of a new cadet.
