Country music will take over Michie Stadium at West Point Friday evening as the Army West Point Football team hits the road to face Georgia State. With the stadium vacated by the Black Knights for the weekend, the West Point Directorate of Morale, Welfare and Recreation is hosting country music superstars Dustin Lynch and Dierks Bentley. The opening act will take the stage at 7 p.m. with Lynch and Bentley following soon after. “Playing at West Point on the field of Michie Stadium, home of the Black Knights, it’s a big deal,” Bentley said. “There’s an added feeling knowing we’re playing for West Point and all the cadets, alum and a lot of folks in the military. It’s a really special night for the guys.” The concert at West Point is an added stop on Bentley’s Burning Man tour which crisscrossed the country for months before ending in September. Bentley said he is happy the Corps of Cadets and the rest of the West Point community are getting a chance to see the show at the end of the touring schedule when it has become a well-oiled machine. “We’ve been off the road, took a little break from the tour, so this is the first big show back Country music superstars Dustin Lynch and Dierks Bentley (above) will play Michie Stadium Friday.

West Point hosted the 35th annual National Conference on Ethics in America Oct. 8 and 9 at the U.S. Military Academy’s West Point Club. The conference aims to capture different facets of character development, and this year’s theme was “Choosing the harder right over the easier wrong.” Four guest speakers were invited because their stories exemplify the conference’s theme. Each of them faced a major crossroad in their lives. One path led to well-being and the other to dire hardship; yet only one demanded moral and ethical action, and it was the road less traveled. In the face of crushing ultimatums that come with great (Above left) Former CIA agent John Kiriakou discussed his experience observing unethical conduct within the CIA as well personal and professional risk, they chose as exposing the torture policies approved by then-President George W.

She had been waiting for the shot all game. After Jabari Moore raced 54 yards down the field for a fumble return touchdown and Army’s final score of the game against Tulane, it was time for the post-score ritual. U.S. Military Academy leadership, spirit groups and cadets sprinted into the endzone to do pushups celebrating the touchdown. Camera in hand, Class of 2023 Cadet Hannah Lamb ran after them onto the field. As Command Sgt. Maj. Jack Love started his pushups, Lamb laid on the ground, left hand propped under the camera, right hand on the shutter firing away. Lamb’s job as a member of the Cadet Media Group is to capture the scenes of an Army home football game. Not so much the action on the field, but the cadets, the fans and the entire atmosphere of gameday from the pregame parade to Michie Stadium. “It’s a lot of responsibility that’s placed in my hands as someone who’s completely new to this place,” Lamb said. “I think the most rewarding thing is when you’re able to send pictures you’ve taken to cadets and they get super excited about it. It’s also just gotten me into really cool places that I may not ever see in my four years or I just may not see in the same way.” The Cadet Media Group formed four years ago and officially became a Directorate Class of 2023 Cadet Hannah Lamb (left) takes photos during the Army vs. Tulane game at Michie Stadium Oct. 5.

A Celebration of West Point Authors was held at the Haig Room in Jefferson Hall Library and Learning Center Oct. 8 at the U.S. Military Academy. This biannual event brings awareness to research currently taking place at the academy. Associate Dean Chris Barth shared that some instructors are currently working on research aligned with West Point senior leadership’s interest in developing character within cadets. “This event falls in with the superintendent’s priority of character and character development and we’ve invited faculty to discuss their research into some of these topics that we are working through at the academy,” Barth said. “We want to show ourselves as leaders not only in developing leaders of character but understanding what that means and the best way to get there.” The guest speakers at A Celebration of West Point Authors shared information about their research to present different angles and perspectives of the topic. Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership professor Dr. Michael Matthews represented nine other researchers in a collaborative, five-year longitudinal study that spans across other colleges called, “Character in Context: Character Structure among United States Military Academy Cadets.” This ongoing, collaborative research is being conducted to understand character attributes of cadets alongside dysfunctional qualities. Part of their extensive research involves an analysis of 250 questions to measure personality traits such as bravery, empathy, leadership, commitment, integrity and honor. They also identify negative traits like the Machiavellian personality type which is assessed by answering a strong yes to questions such as, “I am willing to be unethical if it helps me to succeed” or “I want to be rich and powerful someday.” The higher someone identifies with this trait, the less they are committed to West Point and becoming an honorable leader. The purpose of this study is to understand how this behavior affects interpersonal relationships and whether negative personalities are attracted to the military or built within the institution. They are also researching how certain positive traits play a key role in successful leadership. USMA’s mission regarding character growth is to promote a culture of dignity, respect and inclusivity as well as create an environment where cadets feel safe and can trust one another.

While there was a 5K and 10K regular race open to the public, the eight cadets focused on helping the many handicapped runners who were in various types of wheel chairs and hand cycles. It was a rewarding experience for both the cadets and handicapped participants. At the closing ceremony, special recognition was given to West Point for sending volunteer cadets to assist the handicapped runners. Photos by George Mattei Pointer View October 17, 2019 7

THE LAST FULL MEASURE recounts the true story of William Pitsenbarger, a U.S. Air Force Pararescueman, who continually faced danger throughout more than 250 combat missions in Vietnam. During a rescue mission on April 11, 1966, he was offered the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of a combat zone, heavily under fire, but he stayed behind to save and defend the lives of his fellow Soldiers of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division, and he was killed. Thirty-two years later, Pitsenbarger’ s father seeks the help of a Pentagon investigator and other surviving veterans of Operation Abilene to procure the Medal of Honor to honor Pitsenbarger posthumously.
The writer/director (Todd Robinson) and Executive Producer (Sidney Sherman) will introduce the movie and participate in a Q&A after the screening.
The Last Full Measure will be screened at 5 p.m. Sunday at Arnold Auditorium in Mahan Hall, Building 752, Thayer Road.
