When do graduating cadets get their portrait photographs taken for the Howitzer?
The photograph of each cadet who graduates prior to July 1 of each year is taken during the second semester of their junior (or Cow) year. There is no cost to the cadet to get this photograph taken. The cadet is informed through his chain-of-command to get this process accomplished. A cadet will be provided with proofs of his/her sitting and asked to make a selection. We encourage cadets to make a selection so that they can be happy with the photograph which appears in the Howitzer; however, if no selection is made the Howitzer will put in the most professional photograph.
