    CONGRATULATIONS Charles! You are fine young man with wonderful values. I remember you well, you were always kind, helpful, appreciative and respected others. The military will be proud to call you one of their own. You will do well in everything you experience in life because of the upbringing you had. Congratulations again, every student should follow in your footsteps…be safe

    Senior Airman Parker sounds like he’s run into a few Soldiers and Marines already in his short career….sure hope he didn’t get a bad blister on his thumb changing cable channels with the remote or during those intense video game sessions during bootcamp. That can be rough! (just kidding, young man, inter-service rivalry and all that)

    Congratulations to the new Airman Lymon! Well done, lad! Well done!

    Bachelor’s from Auburn? Someone already suggested it, but trade in those Stripes for some Bars (not the kind you visit, the kind you wear), sooner the better – take my word for it.

    I think we should have articles on everyone from our area that joined the military. It gives us pride in who is exactly protection our rights and our country.

    Been there, it wasn’t as easy as some other branches (Marines and Army) make it out to be. Congrats on making it through, see you in the field.
