Officer Commissioning

On September 2, 2010, Caleb accepted his commission as an officer in the US Army and became an officer in the Utah National Guard. He had previously been a member of the Idaho National Guard, but switched to Utah because of the opportunities with the Engineers in Utah. Caleb completed his Officer Candidate School (OCS) with the Idaho Guard.
The oath swearing, pinning, and first salute took place at the Guard Headquarters in Draper. He is now a 2nd Lieutenant. I am so proud of him! He worked hard for a year and a half's worth of monthly drills and summer camps. And did I mention he received the Academic Award for getting the highest marks of his OCS class on the written tests! I really am so proud!
