I’m not a TACNCO but I am assigned here here at West Point as an Enlisted Aide. The duties as a TACNCO will be very rewarding and help you to develop many of the cadets here before they get out of the academy to lead troops.

As far as the area it’s great it’s a small community and the schools are great. We’re about 45 minutes to an hour from NYC and there lots to do as well. I can possibly reach out to a TACNCO here to give you better insight if that’ll help. Just shoot me your email and I’ll link you in with one of them.
