Credit where credit is due, Texas A&M puts in the most commissioned officers, outside of the service academies.

Over half the Corp are playing dress-up though. No issues with them doing it, college is about experimenting. That is why they use trans-cheerleaders. You do not know you are an LGBTQ, until you become an yell leader.

We don't claim these losers any more

Everyone’s fake soldiers become soldiers ??

Approximately 45 percent of the members of the Cadet Corps receive commissions as officers in the United States armed forces upon graduation.

Note that the Wikipedia page lacks a citation for this particular statistic. A page from the Aggie Network (link below) boasts that 164 cadets in the Class of 2024 were commissioned in the US armed forces after graduation (and this was apparently the largest class of commissioned officers from A&M in nearly 40 years). There were around 2,300 Aggie cadets in the fall of 2024, so let’s be generous and say the senior class was a quarter of that number, so around 575 (the reality is that a lot of them quit because they hate the hazing and weird traditions). 164/575 = 28.5%. My little brother, a cadet in the Corps in the mid-nineties who went on to become a Navy pilot, tells me that less than a third of the members of the Corps go on to serve in the US military, and these numbers would bear that out.

Still the biggest source of officers outside the academies.
