1802年3月16日是西点军校创办人日
「你有没有高度服从纪律标准，学习与荣耀？」「有的，长官！」这是在1817年至1833年担任西点军校学监的西尔法那斯．赛耶 (Sylvanus
Thayer) 所要教导其受训军官的规则与纪律，直到今日还继续沿用。从西点军校毕业之后，军官能够亲赴战场作战，或者是被雇用去建造运河、道路，与铁路，以协助美国向西部扩张。问问你的朋友和家人，看他们有没有朋友曾经在西点军校念过书。问问他们的经验。全员解－－散！
Would you expect high standards of discipline, study and honor? Yes, SIR! That's what West Point teaches its officers-in-training today thanks to Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, superintendent of West Point from 1817 to 1833. The "father of the Military Academy" introduced these concepts to the cadets and trained them as civil engineers as well as soldiers. After graduation, officers could work on the battlefield or be employed constructing canals, roads, and railroads to help expand the U.S. westward. Ask friends and family if they or anyone they know attended West Point. Ask about their experiences. Company DIS-missed!
