The Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL)Thursday admitted into service 22-year-old Scott Amos Collins as “Officer Cadet”. Collins’ admission qualifies him for a four-year degree at the prestigious West Point Military Academy in the United States of America. Dating back to 1988 when two Liberians last attended the prestigious West Point Military Academy, the young Liberian becomes the first in 29 years. He is also one of the international nominees from 161 countries around the world to gain admission to the United States Military Class of 2021, which starts in July 2017. Upon the completion of the four-year degree program in addition to military regimentation and upon returning to Liberia, Collins will be commissioned by the president as a junior officer in the Armed Forces of Liberia.
