I graduated from Lackland in 1986, had a very rewarding and enjoyable Air Force career and retired after 24 years of service! I would do it all over again!

What date was this graduation ?

@meljenkins1016 Жыл бұрын

Graduated BMT in1977 and retired in 1997. My AFSC was Radio Relay Repairman in the communications field. Which pretty much would put me in any corner of the world. From an air base to the most remote communication site. After the cold war ended all those communications relay sites on mountain tops have all been abandoned and closed. Back then we had AF base in Libya & Iran. The Iranian military also trained in Lackland back then.

I graduated the same year, started out training for sky cops, but got volunteered to Para rescue spent allot of time at Lackland training. I remember the Iranians being there, they bought every bottle of mens and womens perfume and covered themselves in it because they wouldnt shower...pigs!

I was there back in March for my great nephew’s graduation, it was the most moving day of this year by far! They wore their dress blue jackets also, wonder why this one was in shirtsleeves? Anyway, the morning from their run when he spotted us with our banner and the big ole smile came over his face to all the patriotic music, marching, flags! I’ve never felt so patriotic before in my life! It was a great day, so proud of Trey that day! Posting under his KZfaq I just realized, it was on my iPad (don’t have my own acct).

I graduated back in 96'. Some things here I noticed that are different. 1. A pregnant drill instructor. How's that possible? 2. So many already with stripes. You usually didn't get your stripes until after graduation, not before. 3. What is a "special warfare flight", "commanders excellence flight", "fitness excellence flight" and "academic specialist flight"? 4. Tattoos were a no no below the sleeve, elbow. 5. Transgender drill instructor. From another video.

There are times I’ve heard the Airman’s run and the coin ceremony is on Thursday and the Graduation is on Friday. There is other information saying it is all on Thursday. Does anyone know the correct information. I appreciate it.

@tommynguyen5236 2 жыл бұрын

Newly graduated airmen here. Due to covid restrictions the airmen's run, graduation and the coin ceremony are all on one day which is Thursday. Your fiancé should have sent you a paper with the itinerary for the day. After the graduation ceremony your fiancé should be able to spend a couple of hours with you before he has to head back to his squadron for the night. Then after that he will be heading to his designated Tech School.

It has to do with whether or not they had a degree or otherwise met the qualification. I came in back in 1997 with an associate's, which qualified me for E3. You also got rank for being in the eagle scouts. It was all in your contract you signed at MEPS. We were only allowed to wear the uniform with rank starting on graduation day.
