I'm offshore and want to show my grandmother who is a die hard Aggie but I'm about to board a ship and am on a bit of a time crunch. Greatly appreciate it!

I just heard about it this morning. Is the parade what was causing all the protests?

Scroll back to right before the Army Ranger video and you'll see our Corps of Cadets right after The Citadel!

Edit: Now that live video is over, link is updated with timestamp

Was it just the army guys, or did they make everybody go?

Cadet 2nd from right appears to be an Air Force contract. Also some D&C cadets. So it's definitely a smattering. Not sure which outfits or how it was decided

The other military schools wore their dress uniforms. I wish that A&M would have at least worn summer A's.

I know the Army's role is to fight and not be a decoration, but most of the units looked like they hadn't practiced marching at all. Out of step, head bobbing, poor dress and cover. The military schools all looked polished and precise.

Ags looked good Regular Army guys need to work on their marching skills
In their defense they had to march very slowly and hard to be sharp marching at less than a brisk pace

I noticed this as well and came to the conclusion that our Army is a fighting force and not a marching one.

Knowing how to march is part of good order and discipline which is obviously lacking along with looking fit and meeting height weight standards. Sloppy showing from the top down by the regular army.

Yea, once you're out of boot camp for a bit, dont expect any kind of good drill from Marines unless your MOS depends on it (Body Bearers, Band, etc.). With or without crayons.

Glad we were represented. Disappointed they were sent in Class Bs.

Your average marine may not be 8th &I caliber when it comes to marching but I've never seen any marine unit, look as sloppy as some of the army units in this parade.
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.-Thomas Paine

Armies no longer form squares, lines, marching columns and attack columns,. Marching discipline will not win modern wars.

Attention to detail does

Maybe they are locked in on everything else
I attribute to them looking so disorganized to the very slow pace they had to march because the equipment was traveling at slower than a normal walking pace

I don't know if class A summers even exist any more. Don't think I've seen them in at least a decade .

The reply from my very elderly grandmother when I was able to show her the clip:

Thanks so much, xxxx. I really enjoyed looking at that over and over. Isn't A&M a wonderful school I know you're proud to be an Aggie. Love you give my love to your wife and children.


Pretty sure that made her weekend.
