Cal the Cow was born on Valentine's Day in 2006 when he was given
as a gift from Cadet Daisy Lopez that he was not female; he's a male
cow with utters! That day it also became tradition that Cal stand beside
the Drill Team commander during awards ceremonies and at the
announcement of Cooper as an award winner he would be squeezed
to utter his famous moo. He subsequently accompanied the team to
the Tarleton State Drill Meet and the Corsicana Drill Meet where he
participated in the Drill Down (being tested only for bearing of course,
since he can't perform any actual drill movements). He later went with
the team to Six Flags in Arlington where he had his picture taken with
all the Looney Tunes characters and the League of Nations, was a
performer in the Musical Revue, and rode the world famous "Titan"
roller coaster. He toped off his day by bungee jumping with Cadets
Andrew Morton, Juan Delacruz, and MSgt Deos. He was a guest of
honor at the annual corps Dining Out in April 2006 where he was
seated at the head table. The slideshow depicting the year in pictures
included a "where's Cal" contest. He later attended the annual
drowned in the waters of Nelson Park Lake. After the school year he
was a guest instructor at the TX-794 hosted Cadet Command and Staff
School in Brownwood, Texas.
Sometime during the summer on 2006, Cal the Cow went AWOL and
his whereabouts to this day are unknown. Fortunately, Cadet Lopez
found a cloned version and presented "Cal Jr., II." to MSgt Deos on his
birthday in September. Of course, CJ2 has since accompanied the
team to many drill meets, "mooing" all the way and even visited
Alabama along with our ASI when he went for his recertification training.
Cal had an interesting summer in 2007 when he went to the San
Angelo Summer Leadership School where he ran the obstacle course
and Cadet Command and Staff School where he hung out with some
babes at the pool. Cal started the 2007-2008 school year strong but
has since lost his voice. He is considering retirement and the rumors
are that a "new" Cal could be "mooing" soon!
In February 2008 it was learned that not only is Cal a "male cow with
utters", but he can also give birth! Just before the drill team's trip to the
AF National Drill Meet at Texas A&M, Cal Junior the III Squared
appeared (CJIII2). These two smaller versions of Cal are rumored to
be a result of a stem cell research project gone terribly wrong. But,
they do have strong voices and hope to be mooing the team to a
National Championship!

from England but was free from Mad "Cow" disease. His voice is as strong as ever and his first public
appearance was at, of all places, the "Cowtown Drill Meet in Fort Worth. Cal IV Real has been roller
skating and he even invented a new sport, "Cal Ball" at the Texas Tech Drill Meet when the Cooper
cadets, joined by many cadets from other schools, found a way to kill time before the awards ceremony.
Cal did attend CCSS again in the Summer of 2009 where he was a special guest of some weird guy
named the "Guru." During the Guru's presentation, Cal was kidnapped, threatened to have his throat
cut, water-boarded, and hung in a shower in Veda Hodge Hall. Luckily he was extracted and returned to
MSgt Deos before the end of the day, but what lasting psychological effects the ordeal have left with Cal
remain to be seen. The suspected terrorists were never caught but it is believed that their code name is
CTO. What antics will Cal come up with next? You'll just have to check back and see! :)
