On Point: A Family Legacy

October 05, 2017 | Football

On Point: Powered by Mercedes-Benz, highlights the tremendous personal stories our coaches and cadet-athletes have to share on a weekly basis. Each week throughout the year, a new feature story will be prominently highlighted on GoArmyWestPoint.com. The features will include visual pieces, as well as written stories by media outlets and the Army West Point athletic communications staff.

A plebe family's first visit to West Point is filled with stares, amazement and questions, but not for Army West Point Football's Josh Boylan and his family. For them, it was a return to their roots.

His family knows the West Point way.

"There is always that awkward time when you're a plebe and you have to explain to your parents, 'Hey, this is what this is, and this is what this means,' but I never really had that period," Boylan said.

Instead it's the little things they notice.
