Success Now and in the Future
Antonio Bush, Regina Carpenter, and Nathan Miller were commissioned 2nd Lieutenants in the United States Army. It was an emotional day for both commissionees and their family members. LTC Nachee Miller, a former Bison PMS, administered the oath of office to his son Nathan and two proud fathers were given the opportunity to render the first salute. 25 year Air Force veteran MSgt (R) Bush rendered the first salute to his son, 2LT Antonio Bush; and a former Sergeant in the US Army and a Vietnam veteran, SGT Carpenter, proudly rendered the first salute to his daughter, 2LT Regina Carpenter. The Bison Battalion Senior Military Instructor, MSG Graves, was honored in rendering the first salute to 2LT Nathan Miller. As they close a chapter in their lives as a student and a Cadet, they open a new chapter as they join the ranks of professional Soldiers and leaders. Congratulations to the newest Bison Alumni and US Army Lieutenants!

Starting Your Career
After you graduate from college, you will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Your career as an Officer will be just beginning, and you'll find a variety of interesting Officer career fields, called branches, in the Army. Once you choose your Army branch, you will embark on specialized training.
The Army: It's What You Make It
Upon completion of Officer branch training and a first assignment, Army Officers may pursue additional specialized training and post-graduate education opportunities. You will most likely be assigned to advanced leadership positions and to staff positions. Also, you may develop doctrine, teach military tactics or serve as advisors.
