Is there a list out there of Aggies currtently holding a flag rank?

The subject came up when I was introduced to a retired general when I was up visiting some family in Illinois a few weeks ago. I know of at least one on active in the marines that was promoted over the summer to BGen but not others.

Here's one I know:

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping this would be something that the Corps/University had out there like the TAMU SID has with "Aggies in the NFL/NBA/MLB" lists.

The one I knew that was promoted to BGen over the summer is James Lively '96.

That's super cool; he was a zip on Corps Staff when we were fish in Dorm 2. Pulled his boots on numerous occasions.

I thought I remembered that part of the story too but wasn't going to throw him under the bus here.

Wasn't it the "new" Rev? The puppy? And they staked out his house for a long time right?

That sounds familiar. I don't recall all the details. It was funny at the time.

Yep. He lived in my current hood. His mom let her out to pee and poof. It was a prank, she was never in harm's way. When things blew up as quickly as they did (pre-internet too), they tied her to a tree and called the cops.

I darn sure wouldn't wanted to have been in his shoes though.
