VMI: Rats Meet Cadre

[scttrp761]

whats sick about this? nothing

[scttrp761]

like the broken one at 1:59

[used7issue]

i wish i could go to VMI but according to my high school gpa and standards im what most people call dumb because of the number next to me

[YaBoiReid]

I go to The Citadel...but gotta admit this is pretty sick

[williamiswill]

Okay thats a fuckin huge rat class

[SamHagagaga]

Hopefully, this'll be me in one year.

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to being a rat. However, I am looking forward to what comes afterward.

Whats up with the cadet third from behind in the lower line starting at 6:09. His heart is barely in it. He looks like he couldnt care less

[realsugarbabi4realz]

everytime i try and enjoy these vids i suddenly find myself reviewing pointless arguments on which "school is better which school is better". although im all for vmi, i will be frank with you- to the rest of the world- you're kind of the same, just in different locations. and the training goes by different names. so respect each other's differences, it really is not nice to talk ill of one other. at the end of the day, many of you are commisioning to serve the same country. your training activi

[Ivans712]

What a noob 0:55 lol

[Huntmaster555]

0:55 epic fail hahaha

[acehood82]

Class of 79 here! Someone in my company lasted about 10 minutes of this and freeked!

@ Malibucompany - Vietnam was over 35 years ago and the Colonel (US Army) that captured Sadaam was VMI class of 85. The Character of men that desire and enter that arch way will not shake or quiver because society changes. The Bible still holds the truth after 2000 years whether a weak minded man or woman choose not to believe yet the end result does not change. Same with an institution like VMI. The Men and Women who enter choose to so the need to change with society is minimal. There are more

[Malibucompany]

Is this stuff going to work in 2011 post vietnam etc. Not so sure. We are a different people now. Invite comments..........

[genbusama]

so nostalgic. 

[samadamspatriot]

It just sucks that they let women in VMI. Stupid Supreme Court. It ruined hundred-fifty plus years of tradition...

[TheViolinKid]

@samadamspatriot Well I'm not really a big fan of sausage so it's ok with me.

[Decogue]

wait until you guys get in the real military. you will look back and see how stupid and pointless all this was. how this has nothing to do with actually being in the military and arguing about it is trivial

[purp]

@Decogue With that said, I assume you are in the military. While I respect your views and I agree that this training does not directly prepare you for what you will actually be doing in the military, I disagree that it is stupid and pointless. This in particular is a cadet's first day at school, it sets a tone of the discipline and structure you will encounter for the next four years of your college education. And so far the Institute's methods for over 171 years have produced great results.

[Decogue]

@purp i understand what its done for. like you said i am in the military. ive been through my fair share of training. but i have also seen the end results of what training like this brings (not all) but there are some come to the fleet and believe that they have this training it takes the place of just plain intellegence. it brings arrogance to the fleet in some cases and just bad leadership. like i said...not everbody is like this.

[purp]

@Decogue please read the message I sent you

[s6u6r6f6]

@Decogue

you reason.... like a washout

[JenniQS1227]

@purp I.E. even though Lt. General Lewis "chesty" Puller only went to VMI for one year, he became the most well known marine in history.

[xMellowDubx]

@Decogue very true, im in nrotc and a prior enlisted once said "I promise you will never to any of this pointless shit when you get in the real navy, but for now you will do it and do it well" lol

[jideemo]

@Decogue some of the aspects of the training like familiarization firing ,

self discipline,

respect ,

brotherhood

[bumhokim]

@Decogue well said....

[Devialx10]

@Decogue Ahh... shut up.

[rack0730]

So why not go to a real military college like the Citadel. VMI grads suck dick!!!!

[purp]

@rack0730 whatever dude. At the end of the day, you're still the one that decided to search for VMI videos on youtube, and thought it would be cool to talk trash online. The bottom line is that we do more in 6 months of the ratline that you do for 9 months as a knob.

[genbusama]

@rack0730 I personally would rather have a VMI grad at my side than Citadel or Academy.

[slocklar]

@rack0730 Way to represent the Citadel. Hope you aren't one of their cadet recruiters.

[WaterCloneHaku]

@rack0730 Wow, this comment is amazing. Way to represent Citadel. Just watching this, I have developed a high level of respect for VMI. I don't know much about their Corps, but this looks similar to our Freshman Orientation Week at Texas A&M. Squadron 20 C/O 2013. Thanks and Gig'em!

[theonering27]

I remember A. Becky was directly in front of me and was the only cadre that didn't move a muscle when all the other cadre we yellin at us.

[DChillaxnig321]

I can never get enough of watcing my class matriculate! 13!! 13!! 13!! OHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[purp]

@DChillaxnig321 calm down there little third-tie...i got something something brown for you to eat...

[DChillaxnig321]

@purp haha not at VMI anymore. In the army now haha fuck third class year

[purp]

@DChillaxnig321 well 3rd class year did suck but I would much rather be a third than in the army. and end the end of the day I have a nice big diploma to show for it.

[vmi02raven]

7:20 what the hell?!?! They just quietly go back to formation and do an oath of office?!?! Am I the only one who's scratching his head right now?

[DChillaxnig321]

@vmi02raven Before it was just the rats "meeting" them lol

[bnctaj]

lol

[Bradshaw2727]

@purp I know. There was supposed to be a hint of sarcasm in that comment, but it's kind of hard to convey over the internet. I am excited to go, but I know it's going to sssssuuuucccckkkkk.

[purp]

@Bradshaw2727 No sarcasm intended!!

Enjoy your stay at VMI :)

[pickettj1970]
