A fellow USMA grad recently sent me an article about a company called the Armed Forces Vacation Club. This company specializes in providing vacation rentals in prime locations around the world to those affiliated with DoD. If you’re still on active duty, in the reserves, in the national guard, or working for the DoD, you can use them to get some pretty unbelievable deals. Have a look at their website at www.afvclub.com.
It looks like it’s time for the Class of 1999 blog to be put to some real use. Khanh Diep, our class secretary, sent out an email to the Class of 1999 AOG distro list with some details that I’ll repeat here.
The reunion will be October 1-4, 2009. We’ll be watching an entirely new and improved (complete with new offense) Army football team play Tulane. There’s a survey on the AOG homepage that everyone is asked to complete. You can find it by following this link:

..and logging in with your cullum number and password. If you have problems logging in, contact AOG and they’ll give you some help.
Here’s an interesting update written by Larry Smith ‘62.
1. There has just been a change of the Commandant at USMA. Robert Caslan ‘76, the former Commandant, has been promoted to Major General and has departed USMA to take command of the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii. His replacement, as of 6 May 2008, is Brigadier General Mike Linnington ‘80.
General Linnington comes to West Point from his previous position as a Special Assistant to the Army Vice Chief of Staff in Washington, DC. BG Linnington is the 71st. Commandant of Cadets at USMA.
Just got this note from AOG:
