If you go back before A&M made the Corps non-mandatory I'll go ahead and admit defeat.

Why do y'all insist on making this such a big deal when talking to fans of The Old War Skule?

LSU also had a mandatory ROTC program for incoming students:

Due to rising tensions from the Vietnam War in the 1960s, the LSU Board of Supervisors had no choice but to make the ROTC program voluntary. Prior to 1969, when the military program changed from compulsory to voluntary, the Corps of Cadets numbered over 3,000 and was one of the top programs in the nation.

So when did A&M lift the compulsory ROTC requirement?
