Mascot
Corporal and Reveille

a sophomore cadet who belongs to Unit E-2, designated as the “mascot
company.” It is a highly prestigious position, but entails a great deal
of responsibility. Reveille is allowed to return to the home of her “mascot
corporal” during the summer months as a means to bond before the upcoming

Parsons
Mounted Cavalry
Senior Cadet
$88.00
(plus shipping)
The
horse cavalry program at Texas A&M was originally founded in 1919 as part
of the program to commission reserve officers into the Cavalry branch of the
Army. The unit thrived until 1943 when the horse branches were disbanded and
considered obsolete. In 1972 three motivated cadets approached the Commandant
of Cadets, Colonel Tom Parsons ’49, and asked for his help in reviving
the fading memory of the horse cavalry. Parsons Mounted Cavalry was named
in his honor. One of the objectives of the PMC is to preserve the traditions
of Texas A&M University represented by the cavalry and field units of
the pre-World War II era.

Mounted Cavalry
Cannon Crew
$320.00
(plus shipping)
The
Cannon Crew is an integral part of the PMC. The cannon is actually a Model
1902 3-inch field gun. The 3-inch gun was the Army’s preferred field
artillery piece until World War I when the 75mm was adopted for munitions
compatibility with the Allies. It was the late 1970’s when the cannon
was first found at a bonfire cut site. In September of 1982, “The Spirit
of ‘02” was first fired on the Corps of Cadets Quadrangle. In
1984, the cannon became part of Aggie football tradition by firing a shot
every time the team scored. This six piece set includes the cannon, two cadets,
two senior cadets and the sign that reads, “Warning Cannon Fires When
Aggies Score.”
