April 21st has been a very different day for us Cooks the past 5 years. For a combined 6 years (Zac for 3 and me for 3) on the Aggie Muster Committee, Muster Day started with an early morning flag raising, always consisted of a BBQ lunch with classic Aggie entertainment, and an evening devoted to our [favorite] sacred Aggie tradition, Muster.
Today, we're celebrating a little differently...it looks like we'll still have some BBQ (this weekend), and perhaps I'll catch a little bit of the ceremony on campus (online), but how awesome is it that halfway around the world, we'll be with Aggies on the day dedicated to celebrate April 21st.
I definitely have to say, for myself at least, that the memories I have from Muster are some of the best from college, if not ever. So in honor of Aggie Muster Day, I've decided to grace you with some (possibly never before seen) pictures from last year's Muster.
AND, you can watch the streaming campus Muster online, get more information at muster.tamu.edu or http://www.aggienetwork.com/muster/ to find your Muster. Or if you want to relive (my) glory days, google "Secretary Gates Muster Speech" and you can get a full video of his pretty amazing speech. I'm SOO looking forward to this years' Muster speaker, Major Ruth!
Meeting Secretary Gates the evening of Muster. I think he was saying something like "Y'all clean up nice."
Oh, just a little breakfast with the Secretary of Defense. I was probably asking him to write a letter to the Marines to let Zac off for our wedding.
Welcoming Former President Bush (Sr.) to Muster.
Gig 'em Gates!
Muster Execs. Spent at LEAST 3 nights a week with these guys for a year. Love them and miss them.

Let comrade answer here..."
