Acceptance Day Parade and Review, Class of 2021

The Class of 2021 officially become members of the Corps of Cadets after the successful completion of Cadet Basic Training. Since Reception Day, the 'new cadets' as they were called then trained, learned and memorized the Book of Knowledge and went through a grueling six weeks of Cadet Basic Training through unbearable heat and a few thunderstorms. At the completion, all Cadets marched from Camp Buckner to West Point, roughly a 12-mile march in the traditional ending of Cadet Basic Training. After the parade, and the doors close, they officially become Plebes.
