You won't hear anything from the commandant until he rolls out his modified version of his restructuring this fall. Save the Corps!

That's interesting and has peaked my curiosity.
The RV selection process was about as "Cadet Run" as it gets. And for a good reason. You were selected based off your reputation and performance within the corps over sophomore and junior year. Are you someone that current RVs wanted holding up the legacy?
Trigon involvement would diminish that.

So you have no problem with diminishing the roles of cadet leadership and training so long as it doesn't affect your beloved RVs?

The comment was something along the lines of getting rid of the current RV's to make way for the a new type of RV's. Whether they actually disband them or render them ineffective, I don't know, but the current way the RV's do what they do is not the desire.

Bleed the RVs dry lol
Someone got blackballed
That's too bad. I don't know if you're a former student or not. If you are, (and they've not been disbanded), a squad of 22 of them will fire a volley on April 21st after you're gone.Hawk2007 said:Aggie Therapist said:

Yes, I can also show you on the doll where the RVs touched me.

What do you think about your old unit?
Aggie Therapist said:
Well said. I'm close with my fish buddies.
But way closer with my Army buddies and have buried too many of them.

Also, if you all want to label me as a jaded former cadet, I don't really care. I need the Corps to develop future military officers of tomorrow... I'm not anti-D&C, but I don't need it for people to play military for four years.
I also don't want us to be carbon copies of academy grads.

No idea. I have largely stayed out of the corps and a&m political scene since I left.
Though, I do notice a trend with Ags and ol' Ags having a hard, hard case of nostalgia when it comes to the Corps. Personally, I enjoyed my time in the corps, but that was a while ago.
Many want the Corps to be exactly how they remember it and what they went through. That'll get you killed if you do things the way they've always been done.

It really doesn't matter what you or I think/need the corps for. I think it does need to serve D&C. I would take it a step further and say we need the corps more for D&C than for contract cadets. This being based on the fact that there are more D&C leaders coming into the private sector than the corps puts out officers in the military.

Agree on both are needed.
As far as softies. I'm not so sure. The skills we needed back in the day to survive are not the exact same needed today. I had 8 white belts stay at my house last night.

This is the type of overgeneralization only a certain professional talent could muster.
You're an officer huh?

I've decided to keep my mouth shut got opsec, as well as, TexAgs not being the right venue to have this conversation. I'm guessing this sub has its own culture just like F16 and F5 have their own.
I can 100% assure you I will never return to A&M for a job or to advise. I moved on from the place. Fond memories for sure, and already a few TDYs there, but I turned down the hot fill for the most recent one (didn't like the guy I'd have to go with... He's neither a whorn nor Aggie nor anything... Worthless individual).
I will say, if you want a "yes-man", you absolutely are choosing the wrong guy. I realize some jobs and roles need that.

Are said 8 white belts planning to punch when/if the commandant goes through with said changes?
I read that open letter response from the parent and think it's an empty threat with the 400 cadets planning to exit.
