Abstract
It's a beautiful spring morning at West Point Academy, and Cadet Potter is barefoot, late, and an easy target.
For freshman, or Beanheads, just trying to get by at West Point, life is tough. This short humorous memoir recounts a harrowing school day of one such cadet.
Articles, stories, and other compositions in this archive were written by participants in the Mighty Pen Project. The program, developed by author David L. Robbins, and in partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University and the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond, Virginia, offers veterans and their family members a customized twelve-week writing class, free of charge. The program encourages, supports, and assists participants in sharing their stories and experiences of military experience so both writer and audience may benefit.
