How come they get to pretend they are soldiers?


Oh boy. Here we go again.

I’ll bite. How is the Corps at A&M any different than the Citadel or VMI, or (for that matter) the first two years at an actual service academy?

ETA: I actually know the differences for the academies, but I’ll bet most don’t.

The best comparison, in terms of uniformed student body vs total student body, is Virginia Tech (VPI).

One of my NCOs my last year in the Army has a son who is a current freshman cadet at VPI. He called me to ask what he could expect. I gave my best guess then referred him to a former boss who graduated and commissioned from there.

Trying to demean one of the only universities to actually love our country goes nowhere with this LSU fan. I think what they did was great and wish my school had the balls to do it too.

Yes, it's real. A lot of Aggies don't agree with it, though.



Yall would be alot more fun to have around if not for this weird shite....do you ever see it going away at some point? I have aTm family that you can tell is kinda embarrassed by some of the weirder shite yall do, but kinda can't bring themselves to admit it's weird as hell

I was overjoyed to hear the “bullshite” chant. I’ve always thought the horse laugh yell and hissing were embarrassing.

Obviously we are not “better than that”, because it happened, and it’s going to get worse. And I’m all for it.

Hate that tradition. Booing and chanting are much more effective

Of course it’s real. It’s Aggie, they’re gayer than Richard Simmons.
