Football!
The Texas Aggie football team is beating the hell outta Utah State this weekend and, in true F-2 fashion, we are having another barbecue! The schedule is basically the same as the last football weekend with the BBQ starting around 11:30, first call at 3:45, step off at 4:30, and kick off at 6:00. You are all invited and encouraged to come out and spend some time with the Fox family. Your sons are progressing marvelously, perfecting their drill, memorizing and reciting their campusologies perfectly, and sharpening their skills at wearing the Aggie uniform and we hope that you will come support us with your presence. Your son should have already asked for an expected number from you so we can put together an estimate for the food, but please call him, just in case.
We look forward to having yall out for another wonderful weekend of food, family, and camaraderie. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or call me.

UNM Football Weekend Wrap Up
Pictures from this weekend's festivities have been uploaded. Check them out here.
The outfit leadership is very grateful of all the wonderful parent support we received this weekend. Without your efforts, we could not possibly put on the great barbecues or get the freshmen motivated for football weekends. We thank all of you who were able to attend the BBQ, march-in, and football game and encourage everyone to come back in two weeks to the next home game. As of now, the schedule for the 19 September Utah State game is the same with lunch at noon, first call at 3:45, step off at 4:30, and kick off at 6:00. Please help us make the next BBQ even better than yesterday's.
The BBQ chain would like to thank all those parents who kindly and selflessly donated either money or food. It is only because of your generosity that we can afford to put these events on without breaking the upperclassmen's bank accounts.
This week we will be starting to get into the meat of Corps training. The outfit will begin its Physical Training regimen with a diagnostic PT test to determine physical strengths and weaknesses so we can adjust the future PT plan to build and sustain excellent physical performance. We are going on a few Company Runs, as well, to build lung capacity and endurance. These runs also incorporate a significant amount of motivation...there's just something about long runs as an outfit in formation to the First Sergeant's "jodies" (songs to keep everyone in step and maintain cadence) that gets everyone psyched up and motivated. The freshmen will also here from the Fish Drill Team staff about joining the nationally famous FDT, something we encourage all motivated freshmen to get into. We will continue to perfect marching ability and begin football practices in preparation for the intramural season.
As mentioned before, this weekend will be a closed weekend to the freshmen, with mandatory study hours on Saturday and Sunday to prepare for the first round of tests in two weeks. Kelly Essler, the outfit's academic volunteer, will be having the fish out to her house on Saturday for dinner with her family. There, the fish will be able to unwind and relax and be able to interact with her and ask any questions they may have. We encourage all freshmen parents to urge their sons to take advantage of this rare opportunity that many other outfits do not have.
Once again, I would personally like to thank all of you for your help in making this first football weekend so memorable. Going into the weekend, it began to dawn on me that this is the seniors' last year of outfit BBQs as outfit members. After this year, we will go through Aggie football weekends as "Former Foxes." Once this realization set upon me, the entire weekend's activities, which I had taken for granted in the past, began to mean a little more. I want to thank all of you for helping make this weekend so successful for the outfit which, in turn, helped it mean so much more for us, seniors. We all look forward to the wonderful weekends in the future and look forward to your help in making them successful for the outfit.
Have a great week,
Thanks and Gig 'Em!

New Mexico Football Game and BBQ
Parents,
This weekend, Texas A&M will be playing the University of New Mexico at Kyle Field and, as it has done for many years, the Corps will be marching in before the game kicks off. We invite you all to come down to College Station to watch your sons march in for the first time this year. First Call will be at 3:45, with the Corps stepping off the Quad at 4:30 and the game kicking of at 6:00. We invite all of you into the hallway at 3:45 to watch the hallway antics that are always an entertaining spectacle.
We will also be holding an outfit BBQ at approximately 12:00, to which all F-2 parents and family and friends are invited. We only ask you to report to your son how many family members we can expect so we can make adequate preparations for the amount of food required. Since we are the "Country Club," we would love to have all of you join us for this weekend's activities so that we can promote that close-knit, family atmosphere we are so proud of. We hope to see you there this weekend!
