STEPHENVILLE Eleven Tarleton State University ROTC Texan Battalion cadets were commissioned second lieutenants in the U.S. Army in a May 13 ceremony on the Stephenville campus.
Cadets must complete their undergraduate degree, including a military science curriculum, and leader development training to be commissioned.
Col. Sean Corrigan, U.S. Army (retired), a 1988 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and currently Executive Vice President for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, keynoted the ceremony.
“You are stepping into an Army that is under-prepared right now because of COVID. You can’t go to the range virtually, so you have a major task ahead of you training troops,” he advised the new officers.
