Army Cadets?

Moobs · Friday at 03:44 PM

Does Army bring a section of cadets for away games? I know they have some traditions and things they do at home, but didn't know if they did anything at away games.

There are usually at least some cadets at away games -- usually cadet leadership and cadets from the general area of the game. The pep band also travels, but I don't know if they travel to all games.

The Army team will go over to the visitor's seating area for the playing of Alma Mater after the game just as they do at home games.

My question is....Any Rumors about a Chopper flyover?

I remember when we had a "home" game against Army at Texas Stadium in the mid to late 90's. There was a huge contingent of cadets there.

There is a fly over before the game. The Alma is the losing team first then the winning team last. It is Veterans Day weekend. When we storm the field let’s go to army 1st and show respect then go to North Texas then after Army leaves then have fun.

AD released a timeline yesterday. 4 Apache helicopters doing a flyover around 2:20.

Also if it interests you, the Army band performing at 12p at Mean Green Live (the hill).

Not sure about how many cadets, but there is usually quite a few Fort Hood active military coming up.

I'm guessing that the reason the wing has no seats available might be that it will be filled with Army troops.

I thought the same.

When I was a Drill Sergeant at Fort Sill, Oklahoma we would bus basic trainees to any Army game that was close. We bussed well over 1000 to a game at TCU and returned to Fort Sill that night. Plus, when I was stationed at Fort Hood (Fort Cavazos now) MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) would provide tickets to Soldiers. Most of the people that seem like they are Cadets are probably not because it's cheaper to move local Soldiers than to pay to fly Cadets here and house them. People within three hours can come to the game and return without housing cost. Fort Sill and Fort Hood are both within 3 hours of Denton.

Cadets in the stands will be recognizable by their uniforms

If they are wearing something other than OCPs true, but if wearing OCPs they will only be recognizable by the rank on their chest or the crest on their hats. Otherwise, it looks the same as any other Soldier in OCP. If you don't understand the ranks, then you won't know the difference.

They won't wear OCP to a road game

If you didn't attend the game, here is the national anthem and the flyover.

This post didn't age well.
