On Nov. 4, Army Maj. Michael Liscano Jr. arrived at the University of Georgia to attend his son’s oath of enlistment ceremony. A second-generation Army tanker, Liscano wanted to show up as both a father and a tanker as Cadet Michael Liscano III began the process of becoming the family’s third generation in uniform.
Liscano Jr. is in the midst of retiring from the Army after 20 years in the Armor branch and is well known on social media as “The Armor Major.” His short, often funny videos of life in the Army’s mechanized world have earned him over 15,000 followers on Instagram.
The younger Liscano was swearing in as an ROTC cadet at UGA. Liscano earned his way to scholarship status after a year in the program, which requires an enlistment oath into the Inactive Ready Reserves. Normally the oath would have been administered by his military science professor, Lt. Col. Weston S. Layfield.
But Layfield instead offered the opportunity to the cadet’s father.
