PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Howdy!

My name is Sebastian Olave, Company H-1's 1st Sergeant. Thanks for visiting our site! The goal of this page is to help determine if H-1 is right for you or for your son. To start, one of our major goals is to mold freshmen into professionals. One good way to do this is to take a commission into the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps.

To get a USN/USMC Scholarship through Texas A&M, you must have three things:

  • Grades
  • Outstanding PT scores
  • Extracurricular activities that focus on leadership achievements

Company H-1 can and will help you achieve these three personal goals. Here is what Company H-1 has to offer to you:

Grades:

  • In Company H-1, grades take precedence over ANY Corps activity.
  • We offer a personalized White-Belt Mentor Program in which we pair each fish with a Junior or Senior who has a similar academic major. Your white-belt mentor will help prepare your class schedules, pick your professors, discuss class exams and quizzes, etc.
  • We require freshmen to engage in weekly personal study time. Unique to our outfit, we set aside five hours of personal out-of-dorm study time, allowing you to focus on your academics without interruption from your buddies or upperclassmen.

Physical Training (P.T.):

  • Company H-1’s ongoing policy is to be #1 in P.T.
  • We have won the annual Bloody Cross 3-mile time trial race an unprecedented SEVEN years in a row.
  • We have placed in the top 3 among Corps outfits in the timed Obstacle Course Challenge the last FOUR years in a row.
  • H-1 has a higher percentage of SEAL Platoon members than any other outfit. SEAL Platoon is a Texas A&M special unit designed to prepare cadets for BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL – the official Navy SEAL training camp). For the last four out of five commanding officers of the unit have come from H-1.

Leadership:

  • Above all, the Corps of Cadets and H-1’s goal is to develop our members into leaders.
  • This process takes several years. Every year, a cadet assumes a different role. As he climbs in rank, he learns to be a follower, direct-leader, indirect-leader, and an overall policy setter his senior year.
  • Through the activities mentioned above and more, we will build our cadets into leaders in which the Corps is famous for.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. My email address is s.olave@neo.tamu.edu . Thank you again for taking the time to visit our site. You can also contact our outfit commanding officer Matthew Ervine at fifa@neo.tamu.edu or 325-212-8176.
