Cal the Cow was born on Valentine's Day in 2006 when he was given as a gift to
our ASI from Cadet Daisy Lopez. His first trip was to the Texas Tech Drill Meet
and it was also learned 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. Later that year
he went on his first overnight trip to the Corsicana Drill Meet where he
participated in the knock out drill (being tested only for bearing of course, since
he can't perform any actual drill movements). On the same trip he went with the
team to Six Flags in Arlington where he had his picture taken with all the Loony
Tunes characters and the League of Nations, was featured in a musical revue,
and rode the 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 Cooper and Abilene Hight
JROTC picnic where it was rumored he 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 got MSgt Deos
a new cow for 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!
The 4th generation of Cal came about in the Fall of 2008 and his first
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!
Cal had a somewhat uneventful year in 2009-2010 although he did have a
"Cow-ectomy" to replace his voice box, was banned from being used from Cal
Ball at Texas Tech, and lost his teeth on the "Goliath" roller coaster at 6 Flags
Fiesta Texas. On his latest jaunt to CCSS, Cal was again absconded on the last
day, only to be made a spectacle of during the awards banquet, by Maj Mark
Dibrell from Connally High School! He is considering passing on CCSS next
year. What antics will Cal come up with next? You'll just have to check back
and see! :)
