Cadet Stultz is the first cadet not only from LA Tech, where he has maintained a 3.54 GPA, but in the state of Louisiana, to be chosen to serve in the Nation’s newest armed force.
Russell Stultz will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States’ Space Force upon his graduation from LA Tech May 21, 2022. He was given the news about his selection and presented with his Space Force patches by LA Tech President Les Guice on Wednesday, November 17.

As a student at LA Tech, he balanced his studies with Air Force ROTC, and twice as President of the Bulldog Rugby Team. He will earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering along with his military commission.
