Overnight bivouacs, cramped
submarines, gas tents, and jets were
just a few places Aggies spent the
summer.
Military summer camps offered
members of the corps of cadets a
closer look at the military. The Ag
gies responded with outstanding re
cords.
For the fourth straight year,
Army ROTC cadets from Texas
A&M University won Institutional
Honors at Fort Riley, Kan. The 127
Aggies ranked highest out of 2,500
cadets attending the six-week camp.
Texas A&M Army ROTC instruc
tor Capt Ray Armour said the
cadets were "well motivated."
“They seemed to enjoy
themeselves," he said. "Overall I’d
say they did just really well. ”
Air Force Col. Kenneth W.
Durham was equally pleased with
the Air Force standings.
"We can see we are doing about
twice as well as the average,” he
said. In the first camp, 38 percent of
the Aggies scored in the top 22 per
cent of the total group. Durham said
this left the other schools with lower
averages.
Lt. Cmdr. Donald Tippett, a
Texas A&M Navy ROTC instructor,
said this was also a particularly good
year for the Navy and Marine
cadets. They were sent to the fleet
for firsthand knowledge of the Navy.
"They really get a realistic picture of
what’s going on," he said.
Becoming familiar with the milit
ary' services was the basic purpose of
each camp, officers said.
The army showed the cadets the
use of tanks, radio equipment,
weapons, and tactics. In every area
the Aggies said they felt they were
better prepared.
Kevin Troller, who attended
Army camp, said, "The main thing
at camp was being able to work with
people who didn’t know as much as
you. It’s just a good feeling knowing
people relied on you.”
Troller won the Camp Comman
der’s Leadership Award, the second
highest honor at the camp.
Ron Greenwade, one of the Ag
gies to win the Platoon Leadership
award, said, “Aggies get more atten
tion by far than the others. We re
ally' have a lot to live up to."
The Navy offered a variety of
cruises. Sophomore scholarship
