I was called into Major Orr's (Old Army Orr of the Ordnance Corps was his
nickname if I recall correctly) office for the obligatory "do you want to
get a commission" talk. I told him that my fiance didn't want to be an
Army wife (that's another story) so, no thank you, sir.
We were in the midst of our brief conversation when Holzman walked in. I
stood up in respect as she was a lady, and addressed her as Holstein. The
room fell deathly quiet. I was embarrassed and corrected myself and
apologized. Nothing was said further.

Hotzmann: Mis-tuh Jackson, what does the bwue stand for? Hank replied,
Wod-duh. He trotted down the quad, waving his ram slips, all the way. Ted

There were several of us in Lt Holzzman's class spring semester our
pisshead year. I think Bill, Ted, Hank Jackson, Les Abernathy, etc. were
some in the class, at one point teaching us map reading. Toward the end of
one class in map reading, she asked us "what color is the water?" (in her
Yankee accent) Without practice, without prompting, we all said "blue"
trying to mimic her Yankee accent. The next class, she did not come in,
Cpt. Orr or another captain came in and instructed us in the proper way to
treat an office - we were doing pushups for quite a while.
Doesn't anyone else remember this? Many of us decided to go D&C because
of the Lt.

I was D&C but Holtzman was the only female bull that year, as I remember.
She was disliked by many, both cadet and cadre. Her smart-ass Yankee mouth
and accent didn't exactly endear her to us Texican boys..... I believe she
was on staff on pisshead year also, I seem to remember having her for a few
classes in the Trigon.

I agree with Ted. LT Holtzman was the only female bull. She tried so hard
to be a ballbuster and failed miserably. I think the Aggie bulls weren’t
particularly enamored with her but the non Aggie ones treated her decently.
Rumor was CPT Webber our Army advisor was nailing her. I never believed it
until our butt year when Brian Green got me a job as a
projectionist/cashier at the Sun Theater and they walked in together to
watch the groad flicks. I kept my eyes straight ahead and didn’t act like I
knew them or make eye contact but I know he knew I recognized them. Hell, I
was getting ready for summer camp and spent enough time in his office. Groad

Queso, Ruth Ann was a good friend who just wanted to be a good Aggie and

nights. We had to eat off campus. My only quadding.

Hey, Dr. COL Wright, or other Air Force guys.
Do any of you recall a female officer in the ROTC detachment during our
years there?
Having an online discussion with a guy who claims his mom was one, in the
first year women were in the Corps, so 1974-1975. Says the male officers
treated her like crap, and some cadets refused to salute.
Sounds like a fairy tale to me, I was D&C, but would have been taken ROTC
in pisshead year, and I don't recall a female. You'd think one would be
rare enough to register on me.
A scan of the Aggielands online also fails to show any female officers in
any branch.
