Lackland Air Force Base

Hey all,

We made it to San Antonio in time to meet Dad and Gail at our hotel and then went to the base for Amber's coin ceremony. This is where all of the recruits are awarded the coin of graduation from boot camp. These commemorative coins are a big deal in the AF. Amber will officially graduate tomorrow. She was awarded "base liberty" which meant that she could go any where on the base. Tomorrow she has a town pass after the graduation.

She really looks different! Much more secure and sure of herself. It's amazing how much a person can change in just two months. I guess that's the whole concept of boot camp. She has orders to learn supply management. She is not really sure of what she will be doing, but she is excited to do it! She just wants to get her college through the AF. She will be in tech school here at Lackland for the next six weeks and will be assigned her next duty station in a few weeks. She requested many bases over seas, but they will put her where ever they want to. Welcome to a government job!

Hope you are all well. I love you and miss you ...someone...Kiss Keiko for me.... Darby?
