    If you are talking about training the people who fight for our country then yes.

    Is what another crazy tradition, having helicopters fail upon takeoff, yeah, that's strictly A&M and their traditions :rolleyes:

    As a former student who was not in the corp, it was fairly frequent that we would see various military drills on Duncan. I'm suspecting that this is what was going on. You have your corp guys who are interested in going into the military and so they get to partake in various military activities, including riding in military vehicles.

    The report said that the guy killed was a recent (2008) graduate. That's very sad indeed. The guy was just about to begin life when it was taken from him. Had to have been no younger than 22.
