Well, a milestone has been passed. They start a new class every 3 weeks, so as of Monday we will no longer be the "baby class" which really doesn't mean much, but we are no longer are responsible for the flags and POW table, most importantly there is now a class that will look more lost and confused than we are.
Today we attended the graduation ceremony of our "father class" 07-14 (the 14th class to graduate in 2007, we are 08-14). The ceremony consists of lots of special welcomes to all the high ranking individuals, a guest speaker (today's was the Special Operations Commander!!), the pinning on of the wings. It meant a lot to get a better vision of what we are working towards, it blows my mind how different it will be in a year, lots of warm fuzzys.
We also had our first "walk around." Before each flight you inspect the plane to make sure its good to go. They took us all out to the plane, let us ew&awe, gave us a pretty comprehensive overview, and let us ew&awe some more, lots of drool, lots of sound effects in my head. Kind of felt like a kid with his first car, that was the car of his dreams, that can fly.
