Binford Peay III, '62, VMI superintendent Gen. Among its list of 270 general and flag officers are Gen. Military Academy at West Point, New York, in producing commissioned officers upon graduation. However, firing pins have been removed and are stored with magazines within VMI's armory until live-fire familiarization and field training exercises require their use.Īs an undergraduate institution, VMI is second only to the U.S. VMI issues the M14 for its ergonmic advantages as a parade rifle over the M16s and M4s that have replaced it as America's standard-issue service rifle.Ĭadet M14s are functional, reliable and accurate. Today, cadets store their M14s in their rooms and carry them during guard duty and parades. By 1972, the Institute exchanged the M1 Garand once again for the M14, which is still issued.
During World War II, the need for M1 Garands rose to a point that VMI turned in its M1s for the M1917 Enfield until the war's end. You can also learn more about VMI's history and cadet life since 1839 by visiting the digital collections of the VMI Archives and find events happening on post in our calendar.Following the Civil War, cadets have been issued service rifles, including various Springfield Cadet Model Trapdoor rifles, Krag-Jørgensen carbines, the Model 1903 and M1 Garand.
