Women of West Point (1979) Documentary

My Father is at 8:10 timing tapping then drumming. He sadly passed in 2022. Oh my heart! ❤❤

I've looked for this movie for AGES! I'm so glad you posted it!! Thank you!

During my Army career I had two different company commanders from this class. One of them was a female from this class - she was a topnotch commander, and we're still friends 35 years later.

My father graduated from West Point in 1950. He served as a Tactical Officer at the academy from 1958 thru 1962. To this day (2023) I remember my 4 years living there. This movie brought back pleasant memories of my childhood. I remember roaming around the academy attending numerous athletic events, watching parades, locating the great chain that was once across the Hudson. I remember camping overnight at Fort Putnam that is the fort that Benedict Arnold tried to surrender to the British. After graduation the seniors would throw their old cadet uniforms out of their windows. The children would collect them and wear them until their parents got tired of them and through them out.

In high school trig my teacher was a Ret. Colonel West Point. His lectures were organized and precise and he welcomed questions. On exams, even if you missed a problem, he would give you credit, as he put it, if you demostrated him you knew how to the exercise.

I remember watching this movie on TV when I was in the 8th grade. A first class cadet from the USMA came out to my school in his uniform about a month later and gave a presentation which struck my interest even more in the armed forces. I attempted, but never got a nomination into any of the service academies, but I did manage to serve through 3 enlistments honorably in the USMC. I credit this film as well as may others giving me the inspiration to join.

I've been waiting for this. I watched this movie 43 years ago. Thanks.

omg. I totally saw this on TV when it aired. THANKS!

I was a Yearling at the Academy when this was made and am in a Parade scene somewhere. Proud to be a member of the historic class of 1980!

I was in the 2nd battalion of the 505th infantry of the 82nd airborne division in 1976. We supported the first class of female cadets that summer at Camp Butner. My platoon, 2nd platoon of Charlie company provided rifle qualification and supported other ranges that summer. It was a great assignment and now , looking back, a historical one as well.

I've been looking for this movie for a long time. I was 15yo when it aired. Thank you for posting!

Geez, I remember seeing this on TV when it came out. I was only about eight years old, but a few scenes have stuck with me all this time.

Thank you Piccolo. Very encouraging movie. The story is exactly the same as women in West Point as this present day. Not insulted but prepare them to be the best and finest future officer in Armed forces.

I loved Paul Gleason's in this! Playing a military officer is so to type for him but this showed much more warmth than you ususally see in his roles.

I always like to watch films or documentary films about West Point Academy. This film is beautiful and worth watching. The actors and actresses made a typical story look great, sweet and inspiring.

Thank you for Sharing! I've been searching for this movie for a very long time.

My husband was faculty in Engineering Department 1982- 1985. Women were still new. They were impressive on many levels

Thank You! it was an interesting movie. Enjoyed watching it!

great movie, really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting

What a movie! This movie gives the essence for everyone who wants to join in any service. These ladies and the army itself had to learn about a difficult transition. I hope this kind of situations are already gone. But as any human being posseses beliefs, feelings, crisis, and so on always there are stuff to overcome. Nice movie.
