From the Commandant's Facebook page:

The following is the latest guidance concerning Commissioning and Summer Training for all cadets in one of the Texas A&M University ROTC Programs:

Commissioning Commissioning ceremonies will still be conducted for all cadets who are set to commission into the Armed Forces in May. More details to follow concerning exactly how and when commissioning ceremonies will be conducted, but it is expected that they will be a combination of private, in-person ceremonies (individual cadets with limited family members conducted at various locations on campus) for some cadets, and online ceremonies for others. For now, it is expected that there will NOT be large, mass commissioning ceremonies by each service as is traditionally conducted each May. In addition, all administrative requirements that must be completed for each cadet prior to commissioning will also be a combination of in-person completion and signing of required documents for some, and online completion and signing for others. Each ROTC will publish commissioning guidance for cadets set to commission in May as decisions are made by their respective commands.

Summer ROTC Training For now, all ROTC Summer Training is still expected to be conducted, although plans for potentially truncating training dates and times are currently being discussed. Again, each ROTC will publish guidance for Summer Training once it's been determined by their respective commands.

For those cadets who are planning to commission into the Armed Forces in May, or are planning to conduct ROTC Summer Training this summer, please contact your respective ROTC cadre for updates and guidance on how and when these important events will be conducted. The following are the phone numbers to contact for your respective ROTCs if you have questions:

Army ROTC: (979) 845-2814

Air Force ROTC: (979) 845-7611

Navy/Marine ROTC: (979) 845-1775

As always, we will continue to post guidance and updates on all matters affecting our cadets due to the COVID-19 situation as they become available, including Commissioning and ROTC Summer Training guidance. Please continue to monitor our social media sites and the Texas A&M website (tx.ag/COVID19) for further updates and guidance.

I realize they're doing their best, but damn, this stuff sucks.

I wonder if they can do a "Final Review" this fall. Assuming things are back to normal by fall, invite the class of 2020 back for one of the first football games to march together one more time.

On the lighter side, some fish in the class of '45 will be asked a cush question, What was the class that had their Final Review postponed due to participating in a national effort.

Was the last class not to have a senior final review the class of 1917? Didn't they have graduation at Camp Stanley, north of San Antonio, as they were training with the Army.
