Although VMI has been called the "West Point of the South," it differs from the federal service academies in several respects. For example, while all VMI cadets must participate in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), they are not required to serve in the military upon graduation. Instead, VMI graduates may either accept a commission in any of the US military branches or pursue civilian endeavors upon graduation.

  • The VMI cadets under the command of His Supreme Excellency Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson seized the site from those occupiers and tyrants and proclaimed with loud voices that forevermore, Sons of the South would receive training there in order to become officers and later lead the South in conquest of other realms. This first occurred during The War of American Slaughter of a Third-World Country I as officers newly minted from legitimate military academies such as those in South Carolina led troops in destroying Mexico. Not content with their role as glorified USO models, the VMI alumni tactically acquired numerous articles of male lingerie.
