Here’s a quick look at what some of our cadets are doing this summer:

We are very proud of each of our cadets who are taking advantage of their summer vacations to better themselves and their communities! They are all fantastic representatives of the Corps , and have helped maintain our reputation of developing well rounded leaders for success in every industry.

The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets remains the number one producer of military officers for the country, outside of the three service academies.

In August & December of 2022, the Corps commissioned 87 new officers . This May alone, we commissioned 149 cadets into the Armed Forces – an indication of the confidence the Department of Defense has in the Corps to produce some of our nation’s finest military officers. These newly commissioned officers will now enter the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force as Second Lieutenants and Ensigns.

We should all be proud of the tradition of service to our great nation that our cadets continue to display –a tradition that spans over 145 years.
