Schock visits 18th District West Point Cadets, Tours Historic Military Academy | 2014-10-02 | 2014 | 2014-10 | Republican | House | IL | Aaron Schock | S001179 | web.archive.org | legacy | West Point, NY – Congressman Aaron Schock (IL-18) visited this week with seven of the cadets he has nominated to train at the historic United States Military Academy at West Point, the oldest continuously operating army-post in the nation. On Wednesday, Rep. Schock hosted the 18th District appointees for a private dinner in Washington Hall on the West Point campus, the dining area that accommodates more than 4,000 cadets for 20 minute meals three times a day. After dinner, the cadets took Rep. Schock on a guided tour of Cadet Chapel. Rep. Schock joins IL18 West Point Cadets at Cadet Chapel overlooking the Hudson River “The United States Military Academy at West Point is equipping the finest generation of young leaders to face tomorrow’s challenges with a commitment to the historic values of duty, honor, country. The 18th District has produced some of the best among them, and we are all proud of their accomplishments and grateful for their service,” Schock said of his visit with the cadets. Joining Rep. Schock for his visit were: Cadet Conrad Bray (East Peoria); Cadet Laurel Neposchlan (Springfield); Cadet Jacob Conley (Golden); Cadet Kyle Hinrichsen (Eureka);Cadet Chase Miller (Spring Valley); Cadet Jack Lucie (Basco); and Cadet Jacob Weiss (Sherman). Also during his visit to West Point, Rep. Schock joined cadets for an intensive training exercise in the Combat Water Survival Swim Lab, a state-of-the-art facility that simulates elements in an open water venue and real-world combat circumstances. Weighted down with combat dress and carrying a modified military assault rifle overhead, Schock swam the perimeter of the wave pool non-stop to complete the Survival Swim training exercise, then treaded water for the qualifying time. This was Rep. Schock’s second visit to West Point. In 2007, Schock traveled to the academy to participate in the funeral services of Army General Wayne Downing of Peoria Heights.
