WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — West Point cadets are taking part in a parachute competition with other service academies this weekend.
The U.S. Military Academy is hosting the second annual Inter-Service Academy Parachute Team Meet through Sunday. Cadets are competing against teams from the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy for accuracy and speed.
