Texas A&M Corps of Cadets found guilty of 143 years of stolen valor 

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The student body of Texas A&M University was rocked today by news that their Corps of Cadets is guilty of stolen valor and has been for 143 years. Authorities reached a guilty verdict after discovering that despite wearing uniforms in public, displaying military medals, and being big time hardos, less than half of cadets go on to serve in the military.

“The fact that these kids and this institution have let this go on for over a century is unconscionable,” says lead investigator Winston Hughes. “While it does not appear any of the cadets were able to translate their fake military status into getting laid, the vast majority did attempt to get free apps at the local Chili’s every Veterans’ Day.”

 

Stolen Valor is typically defined as an individual wearing a military uniform and impersonating a member of the armed forces despite never having served.  Texas A&M released a statement clarifying that, while the majority of their Cadets don’t commission into the armed forces, some do and all of them take their “dress up and march around stuff” very seriously.

The school also stressed the importance of imagination in developing young minds. “Whether that involves imagining you go to Hogwarts or imagining you attend a military academy, the principle remains the same,” Booster Club President Jimbob Joe Houston notes.

Houston was also quick to point out the school’s status as a Senior Military College, a special designation granted to several institutions after the Civil War authorizing their students to wear fancy boots and get high and tight haircuts unironically.  However, detractors point out, that authorization is for individuals who are actually going to join the military and does not cover those who are live-action role-playing as soldiers from the Spanish-American War.

The nail in the coffin for A&M’s stolen valor case was the fact that unlike other Senior Military Colleges—such as the Citadel or the Virginia Military Institute—it’s possible to be a student at the school without being a fake ROTC weirdo.

 

“Over 69,000 students will attend class this year in College Station while only about 2,500 will dress up and ask people to thank them for their service” Hughes notes.

When reached for comment, member of the Corps Josh Taylor was unapologetic.

“How am I stealing valor by just wearing a uniform?  Like I owe some kind of service to the country?” Taylor says. “I bought these boots with my parents’ own money, and donated my time to appearing on ESPN football broadcasts all fall.  The nation has been compensated.”

“If anything, you could say I’m overcompensating”

And the loser will transfer-portal out, so this will be typically great Aggie roster management.

By the Aggie Transitive Property of measuring QBs, going back to when Dustin Long was replaced by Reggie McNeal, A&M should by now be starting a 70-foot tall cyborg at QB. If he can hold off the multi-dimensional Demogorgon they signed last year, that is.

Look for John Sharp to announce a new $500M computer science center within a month. 

Lulz.

 

Csb. Back when I was working for the state as a computer operator the feds wanted some data to analyze from our medicaid utilization files. These files were 40 to 60 tape reels long. And the feds wanted data from years of these files. Boxes and boxes and boxes of tape reels. We didn't have any excess capacity on our two IBM 370/158 mainframes to extract the data that the feds wanted as we were running both 158's at 110% of capacity. UT had CDC computers so we couldn't use them. None of the other state agencies had excess capacity either. aggy was an IBM shop and had excess capacity so we contracted with them to extract the data. We sent the programmer that wrote the extract program and jcl over to aggy with the tapes to oversee the extracts. This went on for several months. During this time aggy was in the process of upgrading their mainframe. aggy chose Amdahl mainframes to replace their IBM mainframes. Amdahl was an IBM 370 clone that was faster and cheaper than IBM's 370s.

 

So while our programmer (a Horn) was in aggy's computer center Amdahl rolls up with a truckload of new mainframes, unload them and the Amdahl SE's start installing them. SE's get em installed and hooked up and start putting the panels on the cabinets that housed the mainframe hardware.

 

Here are some pics of Amdahl mainframes of that era.

 

 

When aggy saw the panels they went ballistic and demanded that Amdahl replace the hideously offensive panels with ones of another color. Amdahl told aggy that that was the color they came in that there wasn't any other color.

 

aggy then told Amdahl that either they replace the panels or haul their goddamn t.u. colored computers the hell out of there.

 

Amdahl got some maroon spray paint from Gibsons and covered up the t.u. orange.

 

Our programmer saw and heard it all and reported it back to us and we all had a good laugh.

Those pics take me back. When I was in the AF with US Space Command I used to work on IBM Series 1 and Xerox Sigma III mainframes and peripherals (repair, not operate). Always wondered why we had shit from the 70's when it was the late 80s - especially for Early Warning.

It's the feds. Except for NSA they can't do computers for shit.

And some state agencies couldn't either. We had two 370/158s and instead of swapping them out for Amdahls like Texas Employment Comission and aggy and the changeover was just a matter of unhooking the peripherals from the old mainframe and hooking em up to the new one and ipling the new system and you are off and running. Takes a weekend. Easy peasy. We had an open bidding process where the fix was in and we ended up with a Univac 1100/40 4×2. That computer was from an earlier generation. Took us 3 years to convert all the programs over. Pain in the ass. Somebody's palm got greased in that deal.

Were you early warning only, or were you involved with the team that interacted with us at NASA? I worked with SPADOC/SPACECOM guys for orbital debris avoidance in the mid 80s through the end of the 90s.

I was Computer Maintenance, not Operations, so I'm not 100% sure of everything they did but it was mostly Early Warning. We knew if there was a big fire in the USSR. I was at Buckley outside Denver when it was still an ANGB and had to live on Lowry AFB because Buckley didn't have permanent party quarters. That changed after I got out and they closed Lowry and made Buckley an AFB. Had a mix of AF and Navy as Operators in the Control Room. Always thought it was funny to see Navy in Colorado.

It's always about the money. I remember when they installed a "new" piece of equipment in '88 that was water-cooled. Might have been a hard drive. Anyway, us maintenance guys were concerned about the PVC piping running next to the circuit boards with no shield between them. We put in a request to install some plexiglass with waterseal bonding between the pipes and the electronics. It went up the line and came down with a Denied Due to Cost Effectiveness stamp from some Major. Our supervisor made copies for everyone and had us take them home "to keep safe". Sure enough - a few months down the line there was a leak that took the whole thing down. Big wigs came down on us and guess what? - the denial memo had disappeared. My boss turned in 30 copies of it and that Major got reassigned.

You are not properly applying "aggy redneck logic."

Since every aggy is an identical copy of every other aggy and individualism is non-existent in aggy culture, aggy redneck logic follows that because one aggy graduate once rose to the level of CEO of a Fortune 500 company, every other aggy has exactly the same skills, abilities and education as that one aggy. 1 out of 600,000 means all 600,000 are the same as the one. Santino Marchiol is no different than JimBob Houston, Thomas Johnson, or the little drunk boy who played quarterback at aggy and showed up for the NFL coked out of his mind. As far as aggys know, they are all as smart as every Fortune 500 CEO (because, as every aggy will tell you, every Fortune 500 CEO is also an identical carbon copy of every other.)

According to aggy redneck logic every aggy working at Popeye’s, KFC, & Church’s; landscaping your front yard; or building things that may or may not collapse; is a leader of industry and super-duper redneck smart! Whoop! They all is rough-tough super-duper real army he-roes who wins wars all by theirselves!

aggys is super smart, because one aggy once did something positive. They knows this because in Fish Camp they was told they is smart and is "special." They lernt in redneck bi-oligy that nut squeezin' sends additional blood to the brain.Them aggys running around campus in their silly costumes and live-action role-playing as soldiers from the Spanish-American War is super smart! Whoop!

As I view the rankings it must be killing aggy to not be able to say they are the highest ranked 1 loss team as they move on to being the highest ranked two loss team this week. Not to mention, soon they will be the best 4 loss team in college football as they are proudly able to claim at some point by the end of every season.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

They never say they're the highest ranked 1, 2, 3, 4 etc loss team because they never are.  They always say they are the best however many loss team in the country because they can justify that in their minds.  I'm sure there is a thread on TexAgs right now about that.
