Are you a member of the Corps of Cadets or have you ever been?

My son is a fish in Gator 2 and earned Guidon Brother status last week. He is in the final four for Guidon Bearer and will be notified next week.

I am Class of '86 but was a non-reg architecture student. I still regret not being in the Corps.

My father was First Group Commander in '59 and was in Squadron 2. He was awarded a DMS.

My Grandfather was Class of '39 (not sure what outfit, but everyone was Corps back then) and served as a combat engineer in Europe in WWII.

My Great-Grandfather got his Master of Economics there in '23.

I may not have been in the Corps, but I have a lot of respect for those that are/were.

How 'bout you, sport?

My son was in the Corps. Graduated Class of ‘05. Ask your dad and son what a “BQ” is, slick. I’ll bet they chuckle when you ask.

Arguments like this one prove beyond any doubt tht College in America is now a complete waste of time and money.

Well, what do you know? I was a Gator until I dropped out for a "cheaper" education. Small world.

Back to the subject, when I was in the Corp in the 80's, there was a story out of a former CT who had a "sex change" to "become a woman." Pretty out there, but the propaganda and attempts to soften society to this perversion were in full attack mode even then.
