A message from DCA Cadet Publications:

Howitzer Yearbook and Cadet Planner Orders!
Don’t miss out on ordering your Howitzer! While plebes (Class of 2028) and firsties (Class of 2025) will automatically receive a Howitzer, most orders come from yearling and cow parents. Some other parents may choose to order extra copies, but please note that plebe and firstie cadets will receive their books automatically, as mentioned on the flyer.

Additionally, the flyer includes details on pre-ordering our upcoming cadet planner for the upper three classes. The incoming Class of 2029 will automatically receive a planner.
