UWF to commission 19 new officers into Air Force, Army

The armed forces will gain 19 new second lieutenants and University of West Florida college graduates on Friday, May 4. Eight current Air Force ROTC senior cadets will commission into the U.S. Air Force, and 11 current Army ROTC senior cadets will commission into the U.S. Army.

ROTC is a program that provides the tools and preparation necessary to become military leaders. These students have learned everything ROTC can teach them; now it is time for them to take on the real-world and test their knowledge.
