Angel M. Coic has graduated from Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga., and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

During the 14 weeks of training, the officer candidate received "basic soldiering" instruction in leadership, professional ethics, soldier team development, combined arms tactics, weapons defense, combat water survival, squad drill, intelligence, field training exercises, and navigation, maintenance, communications, staff and general military subjects, and physical training and conditioning.

The candidate was tested on leadership skills and team work abilities required of a commissioned officer. The student utilized acquired skills to function in "leader and follower" positions in squad and platoon sized elements in a stressful and demanding field environment.

Coic, an ordnance officer with four years of military service, is assigned to the 501st Sustainment Brigade, Camp Red Cloud, Uijong-Bu, South Korea.

She is the granddaughter of Dee Ann Marsing, and niece of Sherry A. Marsing, both of Tooele.

Her husband, Joshua, is the son of Pete Coic of Elma, Wash.

The lieutenant graduated in 1993 from Kearns High School.
