Corps of Cadets Fallout and Step Off - September 2, 2023

The Corps of Cadets are the heart of Texas A&M University.
If you have never seen the Corps Fallout onto the Quad for a Home Game at Kyle Field or The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band Step Off, this video is for you!
You will see the Corps of Cadets entirely change the face of the campus in just 30 minutes. This amazing tradition will make you whoop!

I have no affiliation with A&M but i am VERY PROUD of the men and women in the corps of cadets !!!!! I hope my Grandson decides to attend A&M and does his part to carry on tradition .......

[@alunderwood5903]

I traveled across the country from VA and spent $2k to see this and the ball game. I have no association with A&M. I was not disappointed!! The spirit of this corps and this school is amazing.

[@sydneysalinas7622]

None other like it!

[@Oldag75]

The Corps at TAMU is an extremely intense collegiate experience. From my time there, we always welcomed visitors, opposing team fans, with friendliness -- hey, it's just a football game, and we were interested in meeting folks from elsewhere. Probably the absolute best thing about TAMU football games is the tailgate barbecue.

[@hikerhobby1204]

My son graduated from the Corp in 2015. I didn’t miss an event. What an experience!

Liar.

Stolen valor by cowardly aggy. @@Oldag75

[@ronniereams5334]

They have a neat sounding school song that they play often. Helicopter added a cool thing, too.

[@hikerhobby1204]

My son is a Texas A&M, Corps of Cadets Air Force graduate. He now is an Air Force aviator. I myself am retired Air Force. Why do you shake your head and roll your eyes? What did you not like about the traditions?

[@MrRobertstuff]

Proud Aggie Dad! FTAB!

[@agentmichaelscarn9794]

The Corp of Cadets is stolen valor. Congratulations to your son for actually serving. But he was stealing valor as an aggy Cadet.

As an LSU Tiger and retired US Marine, I am the first to admit A&M has GREAT traditions, BUT, sometimes all you can do is shake your head and roll your eyes...;) Semper Fi! CWO4 USMCR [Ret] 17 February 1969 - 1 August 2004

[@agentmichaelscarn9794]

The A&M Corp of Cadets is an institution of stolen valor. You should be offended.

[@kayrejones3071]

Quite interesting! But, give me "Going down Victory Hill" at LSU!

[@davidweeks6425]

Why is your previous occupation of any relevance

[@kayrejones3071]

Enjoyed watching this!

[@AMX86]

Damned inspiring!

[@MrCgon3188]

I am proud that my son is in Squadron 20.

[@hikerhobby1204]

Whoop! Congratulations to your son! Mine graduated in 2015 from Squadron 2! Good luck and Gig’em👍

Very wonderful, wish you a happy new day

Interessant, danke.

De onde é esse exercito?

[@MrRobertstuff]

Student Cadets - training for military service. College students.

[@johnwhite2576]

Aggies….what can I say?

[@MrRobertstuff]

You could say Howdy!

[@sydneysalinas7622]

The best

[@mikec9810]

Interesting. What is the running round with hands in the air all about? Why is it called fallout? from my point of view they are falling in to to march to the game.

[@natelaurenceable]

Every class has a call. Fish.. hands in the air. You fall out of the dorm to fall in to formation.

[@mikec9810]

@@natelaurenceable Thank you. That explains it.

I do wish sometimes that this sort of video, slices of life in a community, came with subtitles that explain bits of subculture for outsiders. Not a criticism, but a wish.

[@MrRobertstuff]

That is a good suggestion. I may add more info in my next gameday videos. We have another home game in a week.@@majkus

[@jimb3333]

Except they can't stay in step!

@14;06 A German Army Cadet ?

[@MrRobertstuff]

They do often have students participate from other nations.

[@edlane9882]

Some really ragged marching.

[@dennishayes65]

They aren’t in the US Army yet !

[@hikerhobby1204]

You know the Corps is voluntary. Many of these students will not go on to the military. They join the Corps for the leadership experience.

[@hikerhobby1204]

Plus all branches are represented, not just the Army.

[@peteraschaffenburg1]

@@hikerhobby1204 A part of good leadership is being pedantic on details. Like marching in step. ;-) It´s called discipline.

[@hikerhobby1204]

@@peteraschaffenburg1 You know a lot of these kids are freshmen and it was their first march. How do I know, I was the parent leader of The Corps of Cadets Squadron 2 for four years. How else do I know? I’m retired Air Force. I know all about discipline. Knowing the facts before being critical is called smart👍 Once again, many of them will not go into the military. They joined the Corps to learn to become leaders. My son is an Air Force Aviator. He followed in my footsteps. And yes, I’m his Mom.

Several of those cadets could stand to lose a few pounds.

[@agentmichaelscarn9794]

It's not a real military group. It's cosplayers with a military fetish.

Lol agree. Maybe a bit of McDonald’s there

[@JojoBoy-gh4gb]

Wow there are almost no black or coloured people on campus ….this must be a white Valhalla😂😂😂
