(Above) The oldest and youngest military officers, newly-commissioned 2nd Lt. Gerald M. Stoermer (right) and his grandfather, a World War II veteran, ceremonially cut the cake during the December 2006 Bearkat Battalion Commissioning Ceremony on Friday afternoon. Stoermer, Marcus A. Douglas, Aaron S. Blackstone and Gonzalo Correa were all commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army during the event.

(Right) "I don't care how high your rank goes, I still outrank you," Douglas' mother told him just before the pinning ceremony.
