The Citadel Class of 2025 cadets sworn in as officers in the United States Armed Forces

The United States Armed Forces now have more than 150 new officers. Held on Friday, May 2, during a joint commissioning ceremony, approximately 30% of the Class of 2025 accepted commissions into the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force. This year’s joint ceremony was held in McAlister Field House.

The ceremony included the now-officers reciting their oath, as well as having gold bars pinned on their uniforms by their sponsors. Following the ceremony, the commissionees gathered on Summerall Field where they received their first salutes as officers.

Prints of photos from this year’s commencement events will be available for purchase through The Citadel’s photo store by the end of May; they will also be available for free digital download at the same link.

A recording of the Joint Commissioning Ceremony can be viewed here.

The commencement ceremony for the Corps is held the day after the commissioning ceremonies.
