#1 Son left on Oct. 13 for Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio.

This is graduation week, and I am here for the festivities. If anyone can be said to have actually enjoyed basic training -- he's the one! On Wednesday all of the Trainees received their Airman's Coin, signifying the end of BMT. Then 50 or so of the 738 graduates moved on to receive recognition as Honor Graduates, and my boy was among them! However, the best was yet to come. He was then announced as the recipient of the First Airman Award, placing him #1 in his entire graduating class! Tears commenced.

As of 0001 hours on Monday, he moves on to Avionics training at Keesler AFB in Gulfport/Biloxi, MS.

I'm so proud I can't stand it!

Wonderful news -- and not one bit surprising. We already knew he was #1.

Hooray for Son #1!

That is sooooo awesome!

Congrats to you both!

Congratulations to Number One Son!

Congratulations to you and to #1 son. When will we hear about #2 son?

Here's the kid, and all the honchos, at the awarding.

Unless you hear about a star in the East . . . it ain't happening!

My favorite star in the East will always be Regis Philbin.

I'm a #2 son. Maybe we could work out a deal.

Yay, Hermkid!

Looks like it's a good thing you didn't name #1 daughter "Aphrodite."

Very impressive! He must have been raised right.

Congrats to him and you.
