VOL III of CADET is a compendium of stories from and about independents. 20 West Pointers helped make this volume a reality. Their work is highlighted throughout the 112 pages that make up this, our largest, most collaborative effort to-date. Kate Karwan Burgesss (’95) will take you to Arlington Cemetery and Austin Lachance (’17) to Fort Rucker, AL. Riley Kennedy (’10) gives you the lowdown on Army towns in Washington, Georgia, and Texas, while Claire Gibson offers a sample of her debut novel about three women entering and conquering the Academy. We pay tribute to the class of 2003 at the summit of the Mine Torne hike, and to the Class of 2019’s Tom Surdyke. From the distinctive projects of the West Point 100: Creators to the intrepid darling that is Army Football, VOL III is here to show you what West Point independents look like.
