TACKLE Air Force BMT Graduation: The Parade

Our daughter casually mentioned that she was one of the top squads graduating from US Air Force Basic Military Training, Lackland AFB, TX. The Airman's Run and Coin Ceremony were on Thursday. She had to prepare for the final graduation event on Friday.

The Graduation at the Parade Ground is surrounded by a proud display of military aircraft ranging from the SR-71 Blackbird to the C-118 Liftmaster. Our daughter's top squad had the honor to march with the color guard and the state flags in the parade. She smiled as she waved the flag representing California, "the Golden State."

Over 700 Airmen stood at attention, marched and beamed with pride that day. The Air Force acknowledged Women's History Month during the parade. Women Technical Instructors led all of the squads including about 100 women graduates.

Our family used a flipcam to make videos of the weekend. The camera created a "magic movie" (see below)with the filmed footage to create a quick clip of the event. It is very simple to use, especially if you are technically challenged. Check out their website: http://www.theflip.com/en-us/
