MURFREESBORO — MTSU’s
military science program ushered in the fall semester with a brief but formal
swearing-in ceremony, as 18 newly contracted students took the oath Friday (Aug.
19) on campus after passing their physical training exercise Aug. 18.
“New cadets take the oath to support and defend the
Constitution of the United States, which, at their age (18 to 21), is very
impressive,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jackie McDowell, who leads the program and
administered the oath. “It’s significant that our nation has been at war since
they were 5 years old. They took an oath knowing at some point they will be
deployed and be in harm’s way.”
New cadets include Terrah Black of Clarksville, Tennessee;
Anthony Burton of Jackson, Michigan; Chance Cunningham of Franklin, Tennessee; Bryce
DeLozier of Dalton, Georgia; John Gibbons of Pleasant View, Tennessee; Benjamin
Gober of Gadsden, Alabama; Antonio Hiles of Wartrace, Tennessee; Daryl Jackson
of Memphis, Tennessee and Nicholas King Nolensville, Tennessee; Christian
Moskovitz of Memphis.
Sydney Moskovitz of Tampa, Florida; Jonathan Nunley of
Winchester, Tennessee; Allison Perkins of Gallatin, Tennessee; Devin Pope of
Chattanooga, Tennessee; Bryce Teague of Franklin, Tennessee; Brandon Valentin
of Smyrna, Tennessee; Seth Whitehead of Tullahoma, Tennessee; and Thomas
Wiseman of Murfreesboro.
