"I, Samuel James Witwicky,"
Four years. Four long years spent as far as possible from the easy-going life he'd had before.
"Having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States,"
Four years spent doing push-ups until he collapsed, running until he puked, studying until he was at the brink of a nervous breakdown.
"As indicated above in the grade of Second Lieutenant,"
Four years without his parents, without Mojo, without Mikaela, without Bumblebee.
"Do solemnly swear,"
Four years at the Military Academy, good ol' West Point.
"That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States,"
Four years of shoe polish, gray uniforms, books heavier than his laptop, guns bigger than his head.
"Against all enemies,"
Four years of leadership classes, PowerPoint briefs that said little, training missions that said a lot.
"Foreign or domestic,"
Four years of extra lessons that not everyone took, of standing with an elite group of cadets who ran with allies not of this world, underwent missions that most civilians could only dream of.
"That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;"
Four years of Chase, who no one expected to make it, of Jess, who no one expected to fail, of Mitch, who no one expected to turn up whenever he did, scaring the shit out of all of them.
"That I take this obligation freely,"
Four years of Captain Huch, who yelled and cursed and ranted and threw things and who was standing in the front row, looking at them with a smile, a proud smile, that he'd never seen before.
"Without any mental reservations,"
Four years of Kup, who yelled less and cursed more and learned as much about humans from them as they learned about Cybertronians from him.
"Or purpose of evasion;"
Four years to come to this point, a little gold bar on his collar, his family and Mikaela and Miles in the audience, a silent ring of Autobots around the perimeter of the big room, his class mates at his sides and a General handing him a Bachelors of Sciences degree with a hand shake and a salute.
"And that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter;"
Four years since he'd looked Will Lennox in the eye and said 'I want to join'.
"So help me God."
