   THANKS, Mitch!

   I couldn’t be more proud. Leaving for Graduation parade and the Town Pass. The new Airman has been in San Antonio for 8 weeks and hasn’t seen much more than the Airport and Lackland! LOL

   Hey flash;

   Tell your son congrats from a USAF veteran!

   You are correct about the time at Lackland – that’s about all Basic Training grunt do see.

   Congratulations, Flash and Airman Nick. My brother “matriculated” at Lackland back in ’79.

   I’ll buy him a beer next time he’s in town.

   I’ll buy him a beer next time he’s in town.

   The bad news: He’s still just 18. In a year, he’ll be handing millions of dollars worth of ultra-high-tech gear, but god forbid he get a beer (or a carry permit) legally!

   The good news: If there’s any new airman from StPaul who could, hyopthetically, get a beer – not that Flash would allow any such thing – it might, in theory, be Airman Nick.

   Again, purely hypothetical.

   Mitch;

   Excellent point! At 19, my proficiency in my career field qualified me to be a Crew Chief on a B-52 bomber. Every time it flew, the lives of at least 7 men were at stake. I can’t remember how much those were worth back in 1973, but it had a lot of zeroes in the number, with priceless value on the Flight Crew. Being stationed in your home state, I couldn’t get a beer there, either. I just jumped across the border into Minnesota to get one. 😉

    Thanks again, all! We had a GREAT day at the Alamo and Rover walk. Tomorrow we think we are going to just lounge at the hotel and hang at the pool!
