OUTSTANDING! Obviously the parade organizers saved the best for last. Alumni all over the world can be proud of this performance. Cadets, thanks for the continued hard work and dedication that makes VMI a special place.
Me too! I cannot stop watching it, I must have seen it at least 10 times already this morning in addition to seeing it live yesterday. Our son was marching (second batallion on the left) and we are all so so proud. Well done Cadets! VMI was the best in the whole parade. IMPRESSIVE!! Looking good, looking good VMI - always first class!
Superbulous ! I cant stop watching. My son is a Rat and I actually saw him on the clip from C-span. They grumbled about practicing, but wow did it pay off. They looked wonderful.
LOL guiness08, I give it to you as yes you probably hear the tune in your dreams, on the toilet, in the bush, studying or where ever, but dont forget the world watched this and its amazing from its history to the uniforms to the march to the cadets and to the tune...PS yis might be sick of it (I would be too doing it all the time like a broken record) but be proud showing it off when you can cos it ROCKS! ;-)
I was looking at both schools, and I can honestly say VMI is head and shoulders above USNA. Its a totaly different experience. If all you care about is gaining rank in the navy, go to USNA. If you want to have a challenge and know you accomplished something, or if you want to be a Marine, go to VMI
I am proud of you VMI Keydets! You guys and gals showed that "West Point is the VMI of the North." See you in the sand. HOOAAH! (On a different note, I wonder what the new commander-in-chief was thinking when he saw the Corps in fixed bayonets. He does not support the 2nd Amendment, y'know?)
It's something else though when you feel that your experience as a RAT means nothing now because people that weigh 400 pounds and cannot do any physical exercise still make it through the system.
My cousin is there right now hes a forth classmen in band co. He said he broke out a few days ago, so congratulations on becoming a forth classmen. Once I get back from my deployment I want to enroll at VMI. HOOAH 11B I AM INFANTRY FOLLOW ME US ARMY
Are you criticizing people based on your experiences and interactions with them or by what you have seen or heard from popular media? Have you ever lived in a rural environment?
Wow, you must be so proud of yourself blackulus4ever!!! Nobody ever makes mistakes, ever!!! You know, like nobody ever spells "and" wrong. I mean, what kind of a moron would spell "and" wrong. "And" has got to be the easiest word to spell, ever!!! (well, maybe "A" and "I" are easier, probably "at" and "if" and other two-letter words, too) Anyone who spells "and" wrong seriously should reconsider making stupid posts to things like the VMI Corps of Cadets marching at a presidential inauguration.
What does the 2nd Amendment have to do with fixed bayonets? If you're talking about the right to bear arms, as a Norwich grad you probably know there are no firing pins, so technically the rifles are just for show. But hey, I just love hearing stories about how all these gun people bought weapons in droves because Obama is going to take their right to buy guns. If anything, he'd restrict the types of assault weapons people shouldn't have in the first place. He's not anti-2nd Amendment.

That's right don't let your soon Commissioning Officers of the Military march in a parade in front of you, That would be offensive.
I don't care what college you went to, but that was impressive.
@jbuzzx thanks, hope The Citadel is there in 2013
Yes, it's called Shenandoah.
