Today the fish received their first "fish cuts" at Northgate Barbershop. The first hair cut is a big tradition in which the senior class plays a key role. Female cadets also participated by learning how to put their hair into a "sock bun" which is worn in uniform.
The relationship between the freshman and senior class is a cherished and valued aspect of the Corps experience. Seniors provide guidance and perspective based on the "big picture" of the Corps and university. They also provide motivational support and counseling for the fish class with whatever issue they might have whether it be academic, corps related, or personal. I still carry advice and teachings from my seniors (class of '11) even though they have been gone for almost three years.
Two members from the class of 2014, Bryan Scott and Kyle Stringer, drove from Fort Worth to be present for the first hair cut. I can't think of any other student organization with that committed of a membership. This instance is a prime example of what the Corps and the Wolfpack are really about. It is the innate responsibility of the seniors to instill within the fish the values that we as an outfit holds dear: professionalism, discipline, and integrity.
