I'm getting commissioned as a 2nd Lieutanent in the Army. I would like to have my grandfather administer the oath but I don't know if he is authorized to do it. He was a naval officer but only for 4 years. He did not retire after 20 years, instead he just fufilled his obligation and was honorably discharged. Is there any way he can administer the oath even though he was only an officer for 4 years? Thanks.

Check with your personnel people. That's what we had to do for a reenlistment. They know all of the regs and had all of the paperwork filled out, just had to have the person administering the oath sign it. My hubby's grandfather did his, but Granddad was retired after 23 years.
Congratulations and good luck!

I would say not if he was discharged. If he were still active then that may be different.
