Ring Around The World: '16 Aggie Takes Ring On Deployment

Through his deployment as an ensign in the U.S. Navy, Vipashyin Reddy '16 has been all over the world, and he has taken his Aggie Ring with him.

"When I decided to attend Texas A&M in the fall of 2012 I really didn't know what I was in for.
My best friend's father went there, and I knew he was the type of person I wanted to be more like, so I said, 'Heck, why not?'

"Five years later I have been blessed with opportunities I could not have even imagined. I studied abroad in Qatar, twice interned for Anadarko Petroleum, graduated cum laude with a B.S. in chemical engineering in May of 2016, and now have the distinct privilege to serve my country as an officer in the United States Navy!

"Through these opportunities I was -- and still am -- fortunate enough to travel to many different parts of the world and have proudly taken my Ring and Aggie Spirit with me wherever I went!

"Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that I say I no longer have my Aggie Ring. Sadly it was knocked off in an unlikely fashion two months ago and I have begun to lose hope on its return. Hopefully sometime in the near future I will have the means to afford a new one, but until that time I hope you can share these photos -- and the many others I have -- with our Aggie family so they can feel and see how strong we are together!"
