Distinguished Military Graduates AY 2025-26

Posted: November 5, 2025

 

As was the case with the recently announced list of Distinguished Military Students, nearly ONE-THIRD of the Boar’s Head Brigade’s recently named Distinguished Military Graduates also are members of our PSIA family!

Kudos to our PSIA cadets, who are among the 37 members of the Boar’s Head Brigade that earned Distinguished Military Graduate (DMG) status for the 2025-26 academic year. Most of them were also on the DMS list published earlier this fall. These eleven cadets, along with their Brigade colleagues, were formally recognized by COL Ed Bankston, UNG’s professor of military science in late September. Special kudos to SSST major Cadet Benjamin Smith, who was ranked #1 among all ROTC cadets in the country.

DMG recognition is reserved for commissioning cadets who finish in the top 20% of Army ROTC graduates on the national Order of Merit List by achieving superior grade-point averages, strong performance in the Army Fitness Test, and proving their worth as exceptional leaders in their college ROTC training. The DMG designation will remain on their Army record throughout their military career.

Hearty Congradulations to:
