Howdy, all.
Pictures from Tuesday and Wednesday of FOW have been posted. These include marching practice, learning how to put brass on uniforms, and learning how to make beds.
I hope to see all of you at the FOW fish Review this afternoon at 5:30 on the Quad. We have all been working hard to ensure that F-2 is the best looking outfit in the Corps.
Yesterday evening, the fish had the privilege of officially meeting their sophomore cadre. The whip out party was a complete surprise to them; however, the fish performed magnificently, remembering all their training in whipping out and sounding off and ultimately impressing their upperclassmen.
Last night, the freshmen also experienced the biggest kept secret of the Corps of Cadets...FOW Air Out. After going to bed at around 9:30, the upperclassmen surprised the fish by waking them up at 11:00 to the sound of Parson's Mounted Cavalry's cannon firing on the Quad. After being given their F-2 Physical Training gear, a significant source of pride for every F-2 Fox, the freshmen were led to the Quad and eventually to the Corps Plaza for their first Fightin' Texas Aggie Yell Practice as Corps freshmen. During the Yell Practice, the fish heard several motivational speeches from the Yell Leaders, as well as a guest speaker. After the Yell Practice, the freshmen were brought back to the dorm to enjoy some watermelon and listen to the wise words of a former fox, First Lieutenant Jason Schlachter '07, Commander of F-2 when the current seniors, class of 2010, were freshmen. The entire night was one of fear, excitement, and ultimately pride...pride in accomplishing what most college freshmen could never fathom. The freshmen are now ready to begin the school year as Corps fish, set up for success. Please keep your sons encouraged and motivated. Be sure to ask them about their experiences, as they should have many stories for you.
