From Scotland- The bagpipes sound great and give it a real martial feel. A fantastic display by the cadets and I would reckon that many of them have Scottish forbears.🏴🇺🇸
I'm a graduate of Norwich - The Military College of Vermont, America's oldest private military college and birthplace of ROTC. And I have nothing but RESPECT for the Virginia Military Institute and its fine alum.
@@kevinphillips150 Absolutely. There are experienced SNCOs in all ROTC departments. My SNCO when I was cadet was the CSM of the 4th Ranger Training Bn who was also Vietnam Vet.
@@stevewixom9311 The dirty tired looking one's just came off the line. This parade is clean and fresh bringing forth the fighting spirit of those who have just come off the line. This is general Lee's army.
Just to think there are some members of this Corps of Cades who will have no military obligation to serve. What is the point of going to a military college if there is no obligation to serve?
@@georgiamule It seems there are a number of private and public institutions of higher education (in the United States) that have taught students from around the world for hundreds of years without having anything to do with the military. The Ivey League seems to have some. And those schools not in the Ivey League but qualified to be.
@@kevinphillips150 Ivy League schools are, beyond question, excellent institutions of higher learning. But this thread is addressing other excellent universities that also provide military training for those who want it and are qualified. You may not know that the majority of our nation’s military officers come from such schools, including the service academies at West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs and New London. The young men and women who elect to attend one of the academies or another university with a military program, have elected to get a university degree and a commission in the US military.
What No "Gentlemen of the South Fall Out" - and No marching to Dixie........ Just a lot of foul mouthed audience who have to yell out & whistle (but cannot sing 'Shenandoah'), poor show.......
This is a wonderful sight. It brings back memories for me - I marched in LBJ's inaugural parade (Georgia Military Academy, class of '66).
Grew up in Lexington where VMI is located, great town, and great college

From Scotland too, cool name BTW 😉
Or, more commonly Ulster Scots . . . .
These are the great great great Grandsons of the army of Northern Virginia

Let's see. Are SNCOs involved in any way with military colleges/universities?
@@kevinphillips150 Absolutely. There are experienced SNCOs in all ROTC departments. My SNCO when I was cadet was the CSM of the 4th Ranger Training Bn who was also Vietnam Vet.
When I see these VMI cadets I think maybe there is hope for this country after all !
@@garciagar64 you really are a simpleton, aren't you?
defenders of the republic
What you mean an other civil war, traitors not this young man, but all the millions looking this pictures and dream to win in Gettysburg.
Good luck with that. Remember, the military is the social experiment for the government.
@@dotjai330 When was the last time the United States (as a Republic) needed to be defended?
Snappiest compared to West Point, AirForce Academy, Naval Academy....hope that they will maintain the REAL MILITARY TRADITION
A real military tradition compared to what?
That was a day to remember, one of the highlights of my cadetship! Rah '18!
Shenandoah always gives me chills
respect from the uk looks good
Make the south proud.

Au moins l avenir et la relève de l armée américaine est assurée ! !
Bravo les cadets !
Looks like general Lee's army. Magnificent!
The ANV never looked this good lol.. but man, i'd give anything to see the actual ANV march by.

It would be more accurate to say this is Jackson's army, but yeah it'd be a crime not to include Lee somewhere in the mix.
Send the boys in and may God forgive me- Breckenridge before sending the vmi cadets into the battle of new haven 1864
That’s a good looking Cadet Corps. 👍🏻gig’em
If only the First Classmen could wear the high boots!
I love VMI….they fought in the Battle of New Market in 1864….when I was in college we would go to dances at VMI…
Outstanding cadets.
The North is damn proud too!
who are the guys on horseback?
First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, one of the oldest continuous military units in the American Army.
@@dk8296
The pride of Philadelphia!

To get an excellent education and learn order, discipline and self respect.
Disciple, challenge, and so much more.

The misty icebreaker intraorally place because buffet consquentially tap during a slim bath. fallacious, sparkling apology
Jackass, you’re not funny, just placing your ignorance on display for all to see.
Where is the black VMI grad? Interesting
Excuse me? Bringing racism into this? There's literally so many, look again.
All cadets are selected for admission based on academic qualification.
You would think the band could a least play Dixie and color guard display Stars and Bars.
Haven't been allowed to play Dixie for over 40 years-- might "offend" someone...
Why? We're not a Confederate school, we're an American school
They used to years ago…VMI is most famous for winning the last victory for the South at the Battle of New Market, Va
Their student body is international, not just southern. Read more.

@@kevinphillips150 to what West Point produces
@@johnwaffleh2p70 true
They look like a bunch of Johnny Rebs... :)
In the civil war that is what they were…they won the last victory of the South in New Market, Va
