B-1 Boozing B

D-1 Spider D

Squadrons
7 Seagrams 7
5 Filthy Fifth
1 Roadrunner One

W/0 going to my yearbook, off the top of my head can't think of others.

12 Trojan 12 fish were required to carry condoms

At one time D-1 was Devil D.

Trojan 12? I thought everyone called them Turkey 12.

K-2. Killer K

Today theyre known around the quad as Tampon 12.

We had a nickname for squadron 12... Toddler 12. I won't go into details but they had a cadet arrested for some nasty stuff found on his computer.

By my time...Boozin' B was B-2. Part of the 4th BN, 1st BDE (B-2, D-2, F-2 & L-2). Going completely from memory:

B-2 = Boozin' B or The Boozers

D-2 = Dog Company

F-2 = Fox Company

L-2 = Roughrider L or The Roughriders

'Red Eye' I-1
'Animal A' A-1
'Animal 8' Sqdn 8
'Titan 10' Sqdn 10
'Heavens 11' Sqdn 11
'Seagrams 7' Sqdn 7
'Tiger BC3' Sqdn 3
'Hellcat 9' Sqdn 9 (I fixed it)
'Four Aces' Sqdn 4
'What's it to ya, Snake?' F-2
'Ole Army Cock Company' C-2

We just called Sqdn 5 'The Sh_t Can', kinda fit. On lots of levels.

Hellcat 9 was actually Squadron 6?

It's Huslin' One, Second to None Sq. 1
Class of '82

We seem to be neglecting most of the current 2nd Brigade:

D-2 Dog Company (already covered)
E-1 Jocks
I-1 "Red Eye"
K-1 "Kayo-K"

And here are some of the old names for outfits in the regiments:

M-1 "Spider M"
S-2 Marauders
H-1 Raiders (now Rough Riders)
N-1 Neanderthals (now Knights)
G-2 Gladiators

Sq. 8 is Outlaw 8

F-2 = The Country Club

quote:

Sq. 8 is Outlaw 8

Used to be Animal 8

Squadron 16 = Falcon 16

B-1 Vets
C-1 SaberC, The last of the Old Cavary.

When Outlaw 8 was formed (Summer of 91), there was some convincing that had to be done with the Trigon. At first they did not like the name and the message it sent.

Not surprised.

I-1 "Red Eye" Ord Ord ord ord ord ord

Where's the Pink Panther?

Squadron 13, Day Ducks

Beer-Battery?

A-2 was a former Field Artillery unit and retained the "A-Battery" tag during the Rudder Revolution in the '60's

Yeah, and the FTAB "stole" A-Battery's logo AND hump - "tough, tenacious, tops"! Only good thing is that us A-Battery types can still get outfit gear thanks to the theft...LOL!
Sq 13's (aka Thunderin' 13) logo in circa 76-78 was a duck in Eisenhower jacket, boots and pi$$ pot, dragging along a bottle of "Ol' Duck XXX" we had one fish two p-heads, several serge buttes but mostly zips since most of us were married students or ex-military. "Best damned outfit on the campus, and off the campus too!"

D-2 used to be Devil D, then changed to Deacon D before taking on the more generic Dog Company

Lee72, I remember a time when a couple of underclassmen in A Battery tried to change the logo and hump it our Zip Year. It gained some steam, but a vast majority grouped up to squash this idea of individualism.

Despite the Corps being steered in directions by VP of Student of Activities, the units have not changed too many names. We now see older outfit designations being re-activated.

HuslinOne70
"Second to None"

My wife asked a random question the other day and from out of nowhere I answered, "what's it to you, snake?" She asked, "what did you say?" I hadn't thought of the term in decades and laughed when she asked about it.

I remember the term from the 80's. There was one particular outfit where fish did not have to do their hump it when asked about what outfit they were in - they only had to say, "what's it to you, snake?". I have no idea what it means or where it came from. I couldn't remember the outfit but from this thread it apparently was from F2.

I googled the term and found this link. Can anyone share the history and meaning of this line?



F-2 Fox Company "What's it to you, snake?"

When my dad '49 was at A&M for his brief time there, he was in C CO INF. Met another old Ag who asked him what his outfit was, and on hearing "C CO", responded "Bloody C?" Dad just nodded.

One of the many stories I wish I had pursued.

Maroon Band and (the vastly superior) White Band did not have individual outfit identities, that is to say, humpits and nicknames. Same for the A and B Company and A & B Battery when we split into 4 outfits in the fall of 1976. Don't know when they named themselves.

I think our attitude was that we were collectively The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, and further distinction was not needed.

If anyone didn't know, before Maroon and White, when everyone was Army ROTC and you had to pick a branch, the respective bands were known as Artillery Band and Infantry Band.

Which is why you'll see some photos of us in pull-out brass of crossed rifles or cannons behind a Band Lyre.

There were no individual outfit hump-its in the band in the 80's. B Company had the "streetfighters" nickname, but that was it.

We were the Fightin Texas Aggie Band, period.
