2018 May 25 West Point Class of 2018 Graduation Parade

A version without the periods of lost focus & extraneous movements (and 3 minutes shorter) is at: • West Point Class of 20...
Am not a professional, so would ask that you please excuse the periods of lost focus. Sitting among the moving crowd without a tripod (not allowed) made filming a bit of a challenge. An overheated camera just before the graduating class marched forward required a switch to a back-up camera. Standing when the rest of the crowd stood for the introduction of the class and for the colors added to some extraneous camera movement. Hope this captures the memories for many of you.

I’m a cadet at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and this was so cool to watch!

[@rideoutsean]

I'm thinking of applying to Mass Maritime, how is it?

[@주상희-d6l]

I pray you'll be our eyes
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
Let this be our prayer
When we lose away
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
In the name of Jesus
Amen 32

The long gray line will never fail you.

[@putnammonroesr.3642]

This has certainly changed since the Class of 1945. Impressive.

[@RayDoyouagree]

Hot impressive at all,

[@putnammonroesr.3642]

Thank you Dave.

Watch PMA pass out parade and justify discipline of both armies and drill abilities

[@RayDoyouagree]

Graduating from West Point is no longer the achievement it once was.
Standards are lowered. Engineering no longer required. No hazing, no bracing, no five minute meals for plebes.

[@habeco1]

The long Gray Line !

[@RayDoyouagree]

The long gray line ended when they admitted women and lowered standards and eventually did away with hazing.

The school was great

[@putnammonroesr.3642]

Number of PomPoms and stripes is overwhelming for a really old grad. Lol.

[@davehoffman1981]

Plebes are cadet privates, Yearlings are cadet corporals, Cows are cadet sergeants and Firsties are cadet lieutenants and captains. Certainly more rank than in the old days but believe the progression shows increasing responsibility for others.

[@martialmusic]

Darn. You omitted the Sound Off !

[@davehoffman1981]

Sorry, they didn't include it as part of this ceremony, but I agree it is a good part of a normal parade.

[@ricardolopez7106]

what building is it

[@jastdi2]

Um, What happened to the “Sound Off”, which is the tune “Graduation Parade”, only heard four times in a cadet’s career? The rest of the parade is SOP. Very disappointing video

[@soowoongko6646]

camera focus ???????????

[@davehoffman1981]

This version is better, having removed the periods of lost focus since no tripod & in a moving and standing audience. ua-cam.com/video/SEVvI9aiQeU/v-deo.html

Really blurry video.

[@davehoffman1981]

Please read my description with the video and perhaps you can understand the challenge.
