Thank you, my friend SSG(P) (Join to see) for making us aware that a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle overturned near the Camp Natural Bridge training site in New York at 0625 Romeo time this morning - Thursday June 6, 2019.
One senior West Point cadet was killed and 20 other senior cadets and two were soldiers injured in thus incident of a soft skinned vehicle which overturned and plummeted down over the embankment into a wooded area.
As a USMA graduate this brings back memories of classmates killed in training.

Deadly military accident at West Point
"One cadet was killed, 22 others were injured when their vehicle overturned in a training accident at the U.S. Military Academy, according to a West Point spokesman."

Sad day for the academy. I pray for the families involved, and how this makes the leaders, and the Army stronger.

Word made it's way around to cadets everywhere yesterday. There were a lot of rumors, but no verification until this morning.

Thanks for the share.
