I don’t know...This kid is wearing a Combat Infantry Badge, Paratrooper jump wings, and an unknown combat badge, plus 5 other medials.
Look’s like a Section 8 Garrison hero to me.

Bondsman,

Stormer in his post # 58 identified the badges and medals. Hot Tabasco says that the cadet was prior service, which makes sense to explain the medals and badges. The Army still has the ‘green to gold’ program of sending enlisted soldiers to prep school and on to West Point. If these photos are from graduation day in June 2016, he would have been commissioned as a 2nd LT at the graduation ceremony.
