Professor of Military Science Lt. Col Patrick Kent, who was a member of Junior ROTC in high school and received his commission through ROTC at Alcorn State University in his home state of Mississippi, is the commander of the Lincoln University Army ROTC Blue Tiger Battalion. His three-year tour at LU has been extended to a fourth year.
Patrick Kent was born into a military family.
"I was born at Fort Knox, Ky.," he recalled last week. "My dad was a drill sergeant there, and I remember seeing him in uniform."
Now, nearly four decades later, Kent is a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and the current commander - the Professor of Military Science - at Lincoln University's Blue Tiger Battalion ROTC program.
