The University of Arkansas Army ROTC program contracted 11 new cadets on Thursday, Sept. 15. This contracting ceremony is a big step for these cadets as they begin the transition into their military life, and prepare for their future careers as army officers.
Contracts are typically a minimum of eight years of service after the cadet has completed their degree, various training events, and have been evaluated at Advanced Camp and by their senior officers. The cadets will commission as second lieutenants upon graduation.
