Swearing in Day

I arrived at 11:30 to find her with the jobs counselor... he asked me if she should give a shot at lifting 20 more lbs than she was able to during the physical - she lifted 80 then, needed 100 - to which I said, yes. She agreed...



Doing this opened up the job selections considerably. Based on test scores, her physical, and the lifting, she was able to come up with 8 job selections, including aircraft tech - essentially she would get a plane that was her responsibility... her name would actually be on the plane, along with the pilot. Pretty cool.

Then, after waiting, and more paperwork, and more waiting... they were ushered into a room (there were only five of them... three guys, and two girls.

Soooo serious...







There was some thank you's and instructions given, then the swearing in...



This ceremony was started over... after the girl on the left passed out.









My girl is in the United States Air Force now... can't leave for a minimum of 30 days, but can get orders any time after that.

I'm so very proud!!

  1. Wow! What an awesome day Duckie! She has a great career path ahead of her if she does Aircraft Tech.

    The other girl passed out? What was that all about?
