Just got back from San Antonio & Lackland AFB for my son's graduation from basic. This was my first "fist hand" experience with a military town and an AF base. What an experience, the other grads, parents & families were nothing short of great. Even walking down on the river walk, the local residents congratulated my son one after the other. We had a real good time with my son on the two afternoons of his town pass. We stopped in to a small USO place downtown and talked with an older flyer who was visably moved to learn what my son was signed up for.
He will stay at Lackland two more months for basic aviation then on to Washington state for SERE training.
He graduated an Honor Grad and #2 overall out of 700+. He is signed up for aerial gunner on the HH60 for the 129th ANG rescue wing at Moffet in Calif. We are real proud of him and his decision to serve.
