AOG Summer ‘24 Updates
The end of July is right around the corner, our cadets are actively engaged in their various summer training opportunities, and the 2024 Olympics has begun!
I hope your summer has been going well, so far.
Since I mentioned summer training and the Olympics, I wanted to share a few links to give more details on cadet training and Old Grad Olympians.
Summer training may look a bit different from what a crusty Old Grad like me remembers, but this generation of cadets has more military training experiences available to them as they prepare to be leaders in the Army and for the Nation.
