Please stop and discuss

In response to the edits regarding an Aggie bandsman:

CC, Whatever you think about me, please stop and just relax for a minute and enjoy the history lesson. "BQ" was originally a term stamped on a cadet's file folder. It stood for "Band Qualified" at that time (the converse of that was "CT" which stood for "Cadet in Training"). Cadets' files were not stamped with both, so the distinction served as a point of contention between cadets. Soon, the cadets came up with nicknames for the others. Cadets not in the band were called Corps Turds and the band members were called Band Queers. Both sides soon simply took pride in these nicknames and called themselves those very things. Take your pick of the websites that back this up and will be sufficient for you since the one provided does not meet your personal standards Band Queer, Corps Turd. — BQZip01 —  04:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
