 iSABRD is the the official business-to-business networking resource for alumni of the Service Academy Alumni Organizations. You can read more about iSABRD and the services provided by visiting their webpage and selecting "about isabrd".
Note that in order to use this site you must know your Cullum number (for us it's usually a five digit number starting with 6). Your Cullum number is the number beside your name in the Register of Graduates, if you do not know your Cullum number the login page on iSABRD lists the point of contact who can help you out. Basic registration and queries are free but there is a small fee for full access. With full access you have the ability to search by location, company, class, and much more. |

When cadets register on Facebook and they use their @usma.edu" [or aogusma.org] "e-mail account, they are automatically included in the rapidly growing West Point Network there. In January 2008, the number of us in that network was approaching 7,000! Once you are in the West Point Network on Facebook you'll have access to a whole lot of new friends and you'll surely start re-connecting with some old ones."
The catch is that you have to have a aogusma.org account to register. Fortuanly almost all graduated cadets that have their email address on track with the AOG already have one! The AOG has created aliases based on
