Family in no short supply as staff sergeant becomes an officer

2nd Lt. Erica McLean, an Army reservist, takes the Army Officer Oath of Service at North Chapel on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Jan. 13, during a direct commissioning ceremony, in which McLean traded in her staff sergeant stripes for the gold bar of a second lieutenant. McLean applied for the straight-to-officer incentive, which requires soldiers to at least have bachelor's degrees in the fields they want to join as officers, in late September and was accepted just three months later.
