Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) announced that Navy ROCT officer cadet Oh Ji-Yoon (class of 20, majoring in refrigeration and air-conditioning engineering) was selected as the best candidate among ROTC officers in Korea and received the presidential award.

Oh Ji-Yoon was commissioned as an ensign and received the presidential award at the Republic of Korea ROTC officers joint commissioning ceremony for 2024 held at the Army cadet military school located in Goesan, North Chungcheong province on February 28.

The presidential award is awarded to ROTC cadets nationally by selecting the best candidates through a comprehensive commission evaluation, military science evaluation, enlistment training performance, and disciplinary evaluation.

Oh Ji-Yoon was recognized for his outstanding performance, including taking first place with a perfect score in the national Navy ROTC winter enlistment training held in January last year, as well as his excellent military academic records and taking on the roles of company commander and battalion commander for ROTC officer cadets.

He is a representative example of a synergy effect between undergraduate life and ROTC life, such as maintaining a top grade of 4.0 or higher in undergraduate school while working as a cadet for the school corps, and serving as president of Pukyong UN supporters, one of the school's representative volunteer groups.

He said, "I was able to develop my leadership skills by building a national network as well as with my classmates and seniors and juniors, through ROTC, also I was able to gain valuable opportunities to gain a lot of experience by working in the school's representative volunteer group based on my experience in ROTC."

Cadet Oh Ji-Yoon, who will be assigned to his unit after training at Naval education & training command in Jinhae, emphasized his determination, "I will make sure to be a just officer. I will do my best to become an officer who can take the lead and resolve difficult and inconvenient issues."

Pukyong National University Navy ROTC achieved success with cadet Oh Ji-Yoon receiving the presidential award, cadet Park Joon-Ha (class of 20, division of marine production system management) receiving the Joint chiefs of staff (CJCS) chairman award and cadet Park Kang-Ho (class of 20, division of international commerce) receiving the U.S. Forces Korea commander award. <Pukyong Today>
