re: Aggies, explain to me some of those 90s teams

A Texan playing FIFA is wrong.

I do not know about you but the excitement and electricity of college football can only be match by European soccer.

Everyone has their opinion but unless you play the game and try to learn it then your opinion is preconceived

quote:

---

Such a huge military base with 8100 people

---

I've been stationed at a military base that has significantly fewer people there than 8,100, but I guarantee you've heard of Fort Leavenworth. Their population is only 5,383 Active Duty.

Other well-known bases:

Ft. Meade - 9,350
Ft. Polk - 8,000-9,000
Ft. Rucker - 4,659
Ft. Huachuca - 5,600

By the way, if we're going by ACTIVE DUTY population, Schriever only has about 1,600 active duty, so which is it? Total Population or active duty?

quote:

---

Fort Riley is where the Active Duty Soldiers are in Kansas
Actually the home of the Big Red One

---

The Disciplinary Barracks are not part of Ft. Leavenworth. They're located about 5 miles west. Ft. Leavenworth itself consists of the Command and General Staff College, Center for Army Lessons Learned, and other Maneuver Training Elements.

Funny you should mention Ft. Riley. It's population is just over 7,700, making it SMALLER than Schriever.

quote:

---

When you do this people notice and makes your attacks less damaging and credible

---

You mean like trying to imply that a base is only important if it has over a certain active duty population?

Wrong again the Active Duty population of Ft Riley is way over 20,000

The number you are using is the amount of people who live on the base.
I am going by the number of Active Duty soldiers stationed at each military installation

Because A&M is such a patriotic university compared to the godless Marxist in Austin

I forgot you guys have changed the roles. So who is the patriotic school again..

If you truly look at the number of hires out of UT to the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Treasury, United States Intelligence Community and the Department of State you quickly see what university provides this country with public service and what university just plays soldier. Nothing wrong with 2nd Lt's. but they are pretty far down the chain of command.

Now we see the agenda. Bitter relative of a GS who got his/her feelings hurt by an Aggie General Officer or Colonel. Reminds me of this idiot DoS individual (GS13) when I was stationed at the Embassy in Baghdad in 2006 who thought going through the proper channels (start point: O5) was beneath her so she sent messages directly to Secretary Rumsfeld because she thought her message wasn't coming across. It wasn't that her message wasn't getting through, it's that it had already been deemed by her supervisors to be not worth the time to even come across the Colonel's desk.

Quick question? What rank does a General Officer typically have 25+ years before becoming a General Officer? Do they just get appointed into the position straight out of school?

Quick PSA for the t-sip shitposters that keep downvoting...downvotes have no bearing on whether or not someone can post. This isn't that 3rd world website known as shaggytexas.

How old are you?

I have not been around a military base so I do know how many A&M graduates make up the ranks

Or you could simply look up the numbers.

I came across my commissioning program and counted 79 alone that commissioned in May of 2000.

If you assume 3 commissioning ceremonies a year with the December and August ceremonies being about 2/3 and 1/3 of those numbers respectively, (an additional 79) that's nearly 200 officers just between December 1999 - August 2000 alone.

In any one year, the numbers of those commissioned fluctuate between 175 - 350 in any one commissioning year group. Assume a start point year of 1980 (assume anyone who commissioned before that is retired) using the mean between those two numbers for pre-September 11, 2001 and an average of 270 for thereafter and A&M has put in just under 10,000 officers in the last 37 years.
