It's ironic how I hated the Academy while in school. After I graduated, I still wish I could go back. Those were the best school years of my life. Just last week I had a dream that I had gone back.... Alpha Company - Class of 1997!
The Academy is so different now, the Corps is now gone. The have a volunteer battalion, JROTC is no longer mandatory. I graduated in 2000, and by 2002, the Corps of Cadet slowly faded away. I won Peacock Kadet Madal for 2000, was the Corps S-2. I miss those days! SMA, All the Way!
btw Todd A. (grad. 1987)

I graduated the next year, '87. Wow interesting to hear that the JROTC is no longer mandatory.
I heard about Col. Rogers passing. He was a great man.

Wow, where has the time gone? I was in the Class of '87. I started the Academy in 1980. I was in the Mounted Color Guard in 1986.
