Squadron 18 Phantoms

Squadron 18 trains their freshman in a high intensity, high disciplined environment at a faster pace and in shorter time than traditional outfits. The delicacy in choreographing such cadet-specific training requires constant adjustment, flexibility to such adjustments, and a formulated balance among differences in freshmen in order to maintain a sense of unity among such diverse cadets. All too often, an outfit begins to diminish in numbers. Squadron 18 prepares the freshmen to mesh perfectly with the outfits they are going to help repopulate. Although many cadets leave the outfit and disperse among the Corps, they never lose touch with their home and family in the squadron.

The outfit has produced Commanders of the Recon Company and many SEAL Platoon Blue Shirts- two of the most disciplined and physically demanding special untis in the Corps, Commanders within multiple outfits across the Quad (the housing area the cadets live in), First Sergeants across the Quad, O.R. Simpson Honor Society members- a highly prestigious academic membership, Ross Volunteers- the Honor Guard of Texas A&M and the Governor of Texas, Parsons Mounted Cavalry, Corps Baseball, Pathfinders, Ranger Challenge, and many other leaders in many of the 2000 campus-wide organizations. We pride ourselves in having extremely competitive grades, physically fit cadets, servants of the community, and all around great leaders of character.
