Now welcome the 20-somethings to OSD. Two young men announced recently that they’re taking posts at the Office of the Secretary of Defense: 23-year-old
Royce Chamberlin and 2024 Clemson graduate
Amjed Yacu, who spent the remainder of the year interning at the House and Senate.
Neither has any known military experience, and one seems to have inadvertently flubbed his opening announcement. “I am excited and honored to announce I have been appointed to the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the DoD,” Royce—who is the son of Florida state Rep.
Ryan Chamberlin—wrote on social media Thursday. He
added that he’d be “Helping ensure our country is viewed as a force
not to be reckoned with.”
It’s unclear what either will be doing at OSD. But Yacu said Thursday evening in his announcement, “It is a privilege to join Secretary Hegseth's fight to restore faith and transparency within the Department of Defense.” Congratulations, gentlemen; and good luck in your new roles.
