Graduation Day 1

Day 1 of graduation was the Airman’s Run and the coin ceremony where they officially become Airmen. The attached video is Jacob's flight 458. Sorry about all the screaming! We could not find him...we thought " did he change so much we don't recognize him??" After the Tap Out, which we all did together (they have to stand at attention until someone taps them out) he explained that he actually didn't do the run or the march because there was a graduate on crutches that couldn't participate. They ALWAYS have to have a Wingman. Because Jacob graduated with Honors he was given the wingman assignment. He said, with honor comes duty. As soon as the ceremony was over and parents started onto the quad, he was able to "sneak" out to his flight before we got there! So we were able to Tap him out.Read more
