Corps of Cadets Traditions
Texas A&M is one of only three schools with a full-time Corps of Cadets
program leading to commissions in all branches of military service --
Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. It has a tradition of providing
more trained officers to our nation's armed forces than come from any other
military school.
Senior Boots
Members of the Corps of Cadets look forward to their Senior year when
they will be privileged to wear boots.
Fightin' Texas Aggie Band
The heartbeat of the Spirit of Aggieland has never lost a half-time!
Ross Volunteers
The oldest honor guard and drill team of its kind in the state, the Ross Volunteer Company is the Honor Guard of the Governor of the State of Texas.
Others
In addition to those listed above, the Corps of Cadets has several other
traditions for which participation is relatively limited to the Corps such as
the annual March to the Brazos and Final Review.
"The men of Texas A&M can stand up to any men in the world
and compare favorably their education and training for leadership
--leadership in the pursuits of peace, and if it comes to war,
leadership in battle."
--Gen. Omar Bradley, 1950
