Adam P. Edgerton has been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force after completing the Air Force ROTC program and graduating with a bachelor’s degree from Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., in 2011.

ROTC is an educational program designed to provide college students an opportunity to be Air Force officers after completing military study courses and bachelor’s degree requirements at a host college or university. The program is the largest and oldest source of commissioned officers for the Air Force, with a mission to produce and develop highly qualified military leaders and better citizens for America.

The officers pursue their Air Force careers in air, space and cyberspace fields and other scientific, technical and administrative professions as leaders helping to meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond.

Edgerton is regularly assigned to the Security Forces Squadron, based out of Minot Air Force Base, N.D.

He is the son of Katherine A. Edgerton of Standish and Warren J. Smith of Greene.

The lieutenant graduated in 2007 from Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in Paris.
