At West Point, this is the moment that undergrads become officers. All of the graduating seniors have received their commission (from Secretary Gates, no less). The Superintendant turns over the corps to the head cadet who dismisses them. The hats then fly into the air. Shortly thereafter, 500 kids are released from the sidelines to gather discarded hats. (Typically the hats will have cash or notes tucked in them.) Because these cadets never have to wear this type of hat again, they are all too ready to get rid of them!
