Military Science, commissioning ceremony, photo 1

This image shows two cadets at a commissioning ceremony standing in front of a podium in the Department of Military Science at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in the 1970s. The cadets had completed the advanced ROTC program and were being commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army. The cadet in the foreground is holding a saber. The Department began in the fall of 1969 and houses the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). It is located in the College of Fine and Applied Arts and offers two-year programs in leadership and military training with no obligation of future military service, and an additional two-year program that results in a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard.
