A West Point cadet’s freshly shaved head, Ramadan prayers, Chinese children floating home from school, a Mongolian voter’s stare, Olympic trials across the world, a fire ravaged home in California, an especially awkward political handshake, and much more.
A new cadet receives a military haircut at the barber shop on campus during Reception Day at the United States Military Academy at West Point, June 27, 2016, in West Point, New York. Reception Day is the day when new cadets report to West Point to begin the process of becoming U.S. Army officers. Upwards of 1,300 cadet candidates for the class of 2020 will report to West Point on Monday. The new cadets will begin six weeks of basic training before Acceptance Day in early August.
