The Commandant

Following the ceremony on Simpson Drill Field, Miss Reveille IX will be laid to rest alongside the previous eight Reveilles at the dedicated Reveille Memorial outside of the north end of Kyle Field.

The service will begin on O.R. Simpson Drill Field, and will be open to current and former students, faculty, staff and the public.

Texas A&M University and the Corps of Cadets will hold a funeral service for former university mascot, Miss Reveille IX, on Friday, Oct. 10, at 5:00 p.m.

Her passing is an immense loss for Texas A&M, the Corps of Cadets, Company E-2, Stevenson Center staff and Aggies everywhere.  Details on Miss Reveille IX’s funeral will be shared once they are finalized.  Here. 5/5

As her predecessors have since 1931, Miss Reveille IX served as an unrelenting living symbol of the Aggie spirit, both on campus and into her retirement. 4/5

To the Aggie family,  I write to you today with a difficult announcement about our former First Lady of Aggieland, Miss Reveille IX, who officially retired in 2021. 1/5

This Memorial Day, take a moment to pause and honor the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our nation. May we never forget their courage.

Today 157 cadets took the Oath of Office and were commissioned into the United States Armed Forces. I am proud of the commitment each one of you has made to serve our country. Thank you and gig ‘em!

Muster is woven into the fabric of our Aggies culture. As Aggies across the world gather and share in the roll call of the absent, remember the responsibility each of us have to live up to our university’s core values & the uniqueness of the Aggie Spirit. Here.

I would also like to congratulate the cadets who earned their certificate from the Hollingsworth Center for Ethical Leadership! Your commitment to excellence, integrity, and selfless service embodies the very best of the Corps. Keep leading the way—Gig ’em!

Congratulations to the cadets recognized at the Kupfer Award ceremony this afternoon. Duncan Poling ‘27 was awarded the Kupfer Scholarship for the 2024-2025 school year. You have shown not only great academic achievement, but outstanding leadership as well.

There is nothing better than seeing the Quad filled with proud parents and families.  I always love watching the Fish Drill Team, Ross Volunteer Company and Parsons Mounted Cavalry show their families just how good they are.

Family, tradition, and excellence—three things that define the Corps. This evening, families saw firsthand their cadet’s dedication and discipline during our Family Weekend Review. Thank you for your support as we continue shaping leaders of character!

Class of 2026, you're up! As you prep to lead the Corps next year, remember that leadership is a journey demanding honor, discipline, and selfless service. Challenge yourself to uphold the values and traditions that make our Corps exceptional...and have fun while you're at it!

March to the Brazos is officially underway! It’s hard to believe that this semester is winding down. I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of everyone's hard work this year. I marvel at how our cadets continue their growth as young leaders....the Corps is in good hands.

The cadet leaders for the 2025-2026 school year have been announced. These cadets went through multiple interviews and were selected by their peers to lead next year’s Corps. I’m confident the Corps is in good hands!

Did you know that the Corps provides additional academic support to cadets? Resources like academic advising, tutoring, and dedicated study time supplement the support cadets receive from @tamu. It’s why 70% of our cadets posted above a 3.0 in the fall semester!
