Naval Aviation Schools Command
Officer Candidate School
Pensacola, FL
13 December 2002
From
September 15, 2002 to December 13, 2002 Adam endured the
arduous training that would hone him into an officer in
the U.S. Navy. Although his training was difficult, giving
up was never an option. "If it was easy, everyone
would be an officer," he was told frequently. Adam
faced every difficult situation with skill and honor.
He was the type of man who set the bar for others. Through
his loyalty, intelligence and natural ability to lead,
he earned the respect of his peers. After being commissioned
a U.S. Navy Officer, he chose to enter the aviation program.
As if that was not challenging enough, he also chose to
enter Special Operations as well. With certainty, men
like Adam are few and far between. If only this country
had more men like Adam. He took his oath of office seriously,
and he lived and died bravely and with honor for his country.
Oath
of Office
Having
been appointed an Ensign in the United States Navy, I
do hereby accept such appointment and do solemnly swear
that I will support and defend the Constitution of the
United States against all enemies foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, without any mental
reservation or purpose of evasion; that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which
I am about to enter; so help me God. |
