May says he spent four-and-a-half years with the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) at Ft. Myer, Va. Following that, he was a Tomb Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, part of the Continental Color Guard (the nation's foremost colors team), and a member of the Presidential Marching Platoon.
"I aided in rescue and recovery at the Pentagon the night of 9/11," May states simply about one of the most difficult days of his service. He describes it as emotionally and physically taxing and says it was hard work in tough conditions and some of the things he and those working with him had to witness were rough.
"But it was our duty," he recalls in describing what he and other rescuers did that day. "It was our immediate contribution and we took it seriously."
May also was one of the service members who watched over the late President Ronald Reagan as he lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda. His next duty was as a recruiter in San Diego where he also was the Battalion singer and "I even got to sing at a Padres v. Dodgers game," he adds.
From there, May was stationed with the 1st/505th PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment) with the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, where he deployed as a combat squad leader to Iraq in 2009.
After returning from that deployment, May made the decision to attend Texas A&M. In a very real way, it was a matter of coming home: May was born in College Station while his dad was at Texas A&M and his sister is Class of 1995. So with his wife Megan, and their eight-year-old daughter Kira, May became a non-traditional studentbut with a lot family tradition going for him.

Some of you old AG's need to spend some time in Cushing library. Go to the second floor reference desk and ask them for the yell leader books and files. Then spend the next few days learning about the history of yell leaders, yells, and the changes over time. Yells and traditions change over time and adapt to fit the needs and wants of current society
Your 80s version of yell leaders would shock and dismay those from the 20s
I mean why did we ever stop using the yell Lizzie?
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Is my hat on straight?
Lend me your powder rag,
Sweet cherry phosphate!
1! 2! 3!
Son-o-a-gun
Lizzie!
There were Aggie Jokebooks floating around. I have to admit some of them were hilarious. The trips to Sam Houston were memorable. Fun times.rootube said:Galborathelion said:
It reflects the rest of the world. Don't know if you noticed, but the world got a whole lot lamer in the last 40 years. The yell boys are as they are because that's what is popular now (and since the mid 00s at least). Goofy nerdy dudes making tiktoks, not jocks. Hell half of the jocks model TD celebrations after dragonball z now
Not sure if you are aware, but the least "cool" it ever was to be an Aggie was probably in the '60's and 70's. That was before my time, but my sense from the folks I know is they liked it that way and sure didn't ***** and moan about people making fun of them.

Yeah, this is a tough look for the c/o '15 guy. Yell leaders are essentially a caricature of themselves at this point.

Yes because playing Rice, Cougar High, and Baylor is so much better than playing Alabama, Tennessee, or even LSU.TheRatt87 said:
Thankfully we now have a DJ, minimal yells, and an LED light system next year so that we can enjoy the same gameday experience as every other stadium. It would really suck to go back to the kind of environment where we lost 4 home games in a decade.

What a dunk. Love this.
Just because someone served our country, that doesn't mean he is untouchable. My GOD that has to be one of the most overused excuses in the book. It's like calling someone racist, or saying someone is a bully. It means nothing that he served his country. Lots of people served their country and have done some pretty dumb or for that matter terrible things afterwards. Hell I know several classmates who served their country and are complete pieces of crap.Definitely Not A Cop said:Cheo said:
