    I'm only just starting 8th grade, but I plan to be in the Fighting Texas Aggie Band when I'm older. Ever since I was little I've lived and breathed stories my Aggie parents have told of their time at A&M, so much so that it all ready kinda of feels like my home when I visit Aggieland. Today my brother was just dropped off there to move in to his dorm. (He's gonna be in the Corp of Cadets😁) While collage is still a long way off for me, I sincerely aspire to be there in '23. See ya'll when I get there😁. Gig 'em aggies!

    • @howardbaxter2514
      @howardbaxter2514 4 года назад +1

      you are only required to wear your uniform to class, the MSC/Rudder, Trigon (for obvious reasons), Duncan and Sbisa, and formations. There are a few other times you have to wear your uniform, but these are the most common times. For living off-campus, you can, but it is highly discouraged. The reason being is that a lot of your experience with the Corps comes from your time in the dorms.

  • @braydinsims3460

    Hey idk if you’ll read this but I’m a junior in high school and I’ve been thinking a lot about joining the corps. I’ve looked at the website but some of the information wasn’t very clear. So can you please tell me the requirements to get in, and also some tips on how to get through the year (because it seems quite difficult)?

    • @ajtheeagle
      @ajtheeagle  5 лет назад +3

      Braydin Sims To be in the Corps one just needs to be a student at Texas A&M, either full time or thru BlinnTeam.
      To remain in the Corps you need to maintain at least a 2.5 GPA.
      To get thru fish year I’d say just make good friends with your buddies and embrace the suck together. Understand it’s your position to learn how to follow so one day you may lead, and at the end of the day all the Corps is is just a big mental game.

      I would say the men are mostly conservative. I would say maybe half of the women as well, but the general minority-grouped population is liberal. There's honestly a mix and there's no reason to turn down any Texas school because of any political affiliation. Especially if going into any ROTC scholarships, most of them are just focused on education, working out, and just having fun. You'll find political-talking people that you'll associate with!

I was told that the senior boots must be purchased by the student. Thank you. I am a subscriber and my son plans to attend Texas A & M when he graduates from high school.

      Hey there! Uniforms are loaned. There is a uniform fee every semester or year, but I can’t recall how much. A few hundred dollars I believe. Boots are usually purchased but can be rented. If you need to rent there then are almost always options available at the Corps Center!

      @Kish shiv funny you should say that as A&M has one of the best ROTC programs in the nation, and a history to back it up. Every source I've looked at had A&M in the top 5, and were ranked only behind a few other SMCs (Citadel, VMI, and maybe Norwich). Not to mention, t.u doesn't offer my engineering major, Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology - Mechatronics, of which A&M just got accredited for (WHOOP!).
      Side Note: Before you say anything about how I couldn't even get into t.u., I am an Out-of-Stater and didn't even apply to t.u.
