SFA Chapter 78 congratulates two newly-minted officers to the ranks of the United States Army—2nd Lieutenants Kyle Debisaran and Leo V. Libao III. Both took the oath of office in a ceremony held Friday morning, December 19 at California State University, Fullerton. Both were members of the Titan Battalion, CSUF’s Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps unit.

Gary Macnamara represented Chapter 78 to present the ROTC Award of Excellence to Debisaran, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice, will serve on active duty as a Field Artillery Officer. 

The commissioning ceremony was officiated by LT COL David Babcock, CSUF’s Professor of Military Science, who assumed this new post earlier this year.
