Darling, I do not know ONE Aggie that watches NASCAR. We are too busy fighting for this country:

"Texas A&M consistently produces more officers for the Armed Forces than any other Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) source. With Army, Air Force, and Navy/Marine ROTC instruction available, Texas A&M is one of the few schools to offer military commissions in all branches of service." - from the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets website.

Gig 'Em, Aggies -- Endeavor, Class of '77

PS: I just received an invitation to Aggie Muster in Chicago. What is Muster? Every April 21st, Aggies gather across the world in various locales for Muster - the Roll Call for the Absent. Everyone stands silently while graduation class years are read off - when they call out your year, you answer "here" for all those who are no longer with us. It is an incredibly moving experience and reflects the proud and distinguished military history of the University.

"No occasion can be more sacred than one where we honor those who have honored us…The other significance of the Aggie Muster is to remind us of our duty as Aggies to the past, present, and future. We are the beneficiaries of the tireless and unselfish sacrifices of those we honor today….” - James W. Aston ‘33

My favorite is the picture of Muster on Corrigedor. It should be amazing this year, no?
