Hey there,
I’m from Chad (Tchad) republic and as a college student in late 80s and early 90s, I had a couple of PCV teachers, among others Paul Jurczack who also happened to be my thesis advisor. If it is the one here, please can I have his contact information for correspondence?
Thanks.

As a former Peace Corps volunteer in Tchad, I too was interested in the oath. Here is the federal law. The Peace Corps oath is the same as taken by US Military, civil service, and all elected offices, EXCEPT for President, which is different.

§ 3331. Oath of office

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

Yeah, I think the VP oath is closer to ours.

I think Joe Biden said the same one we did? Did you watch it? My neighbor had a TV so I did, missed some parts when I stray bird flew at my face ( my life as a slapstick comedy (as you said) continues).

Is that what we said during the ceremony? Golly! Wonder who wrote it.

I’m missing the connection btwn ‘Peace Corps oath’ and ‘the world of educational software’. Perhaps you mean funny==strange?
