My parents drove me to Denver on Sunday, January 5th, 2003, where I departed home to start my Air Force enlistment.
I started my Air Force basic training on the 7th of January, 2003, at Lackland AFB, in San Antonio Texas. My parents attended my graduation from Air Force basic training on Friday, the 21st of February 2003.
After basic training, I reported to Sheppard AFB on the 24th of February, outside Wichita Falls, Texas for technical training.
My father drove my car down to Texas for me and spent a couple days visiting with me.
After I graduated from tech school on the 21st of June 2003, I was promoted to A1C (Airman First Class), and got to visit my parents in Colorado for two weeks.
After my visit, I drove to my first assignment at Ellsworth AFB, near Rapid City, South Dakota.
I had a lot of stuff to take to South Dakota, and my parents had never been there, so they drove their van up to South Dakota with me.
I am now on my way to Diego Garcia. My parents probably will not be able to visit me here, so if I get some pictures, I will send them to my father.
I was promoted to SrA (Senior Airman) on June 21st 2005.
I was promoted to SSgt (Staff Sergeant) on November 1st 2008
