Yeah, A&M is one of six Senior Military Colleges (think VMI, Citadel, etc.) who have, of course, a strong military history and traditions that are similar to what you'll find at the service academies. I'm on active duty now, and the term "ring knockers" refers to those who went to academies or SMCs.

if I wore a ring it would really just symbolize conning my way through classes for 5 years while I drank myself retarded.

Yeah how many MoH aggies are there now? We regular students rag on the corp a lot, but in reality, most of us have a lot of respect for what they put themselves through.

They do live the service academy life 24/7 but right in the middle of a college town. I'd get up for early class and see their companies running all over campus. Ain't nobody got time for that (and school/party.)

I'll also say that A&M wasn't a place that you could party all the time and still pass. I had way too many friends throw in the towel trying to balance the two.
