From what I could gather from the article he was a marine at the time of the shooting, and has since completed some form of officer training and is currently an ensign in the navy.

He’s a MECEP Marine who switched to the Navy track. It’s buried in the article.

The Navy unit at Georgia State (actually at Ga Tech just up the road) is stronger than the Marine battalion there.

He’ll have a better career track going forward from Ga State by coming out an ensign.

If you want the right ride coming out of Marine ROTC, in the SE, you go to Auburn.

The Secretary of the Navy sent his son to Auburn for the MArine track there.

Major Dyal is the MOI at Auburn and runs a hard, tight ship. OORAH!
