Every cadet nationwide is "military affiliated" for as long as they remain in ROTC. Senior Military College Cadets (VPI, A&M, Citadel, VMI, Norwich, North Georgia) have the option of either taking a commission or going "drill and ceremonies".

Back when I was at A&M, the commissioning rate was at about 34% (for every 600 cadets, just over 200 commissioned). Now it's closer to 50%.

For those wondering about why it's not at 100%, the only schools allowed to commission ALL of their cadets are the military academies. Even they have an attrition rate of close to 20-25%. Each school is limited to a certain number of cadets they can actually commission into the various branches.

You will like us when you get to know us. Ask Nebraska, VTech, Clemson, etc. fans who have been to College Station.

However if my own wife were to intentionally walk on the grass at the MSC or do something similar to get a rise out of me, I would not let other Aggies beat the shite out of her.....I would do it myself and save them the trouble.

We're good folk, you can run smack and call us names and many times we will laugh along with you especially if there's a grain of truth to it. But **** with one of our sacred traditions and we shall **** back no matter who the **** you are or think you are.

People that went to actual military academies laugh at TAMU. Seriously, we do.

Military Academies have a high attrition rate because it is freaking tough, not some costume party.
