Thanks all! We'll be at Lackland AFB the rest of the week for the ceremonies. I'm taking my laptop with me and I hope to post some pics and video. I understand the recitation of the Airman's Creed is outstanding!

I'll be working on the "coining" ceremony video little by little. It was an outstanding weekend!
