Congratulations to a Forum Member

Call911, a member on here that many know, as of last Tuesday the 24th of February, was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. He's worked a long hard road to get to where he is, and is about to take the next long hard road via UPT Pilot Training at Columbus AFB for the next 13 months enroute to his permanent assignment as a KC-135 Reserve Pilot at Grissom ARB IN.

I was fortunate enough to be able to Attend his commissioning ceremony this week, and was flattered and honored when he selected me to be his first official salute as an officer. Hopefully he'll get me the pics sometime soon and I'll post them up. We got video of the actual ceremony and a good pic of the two of us after the parade.

Those of you who know him, take a moment to congratulate him, and those that don't, do the same!

Congrats! Grissom is near my home town of Logansport IN. I remember being very young and watching the A10's dogfight right over our farm. Obviously I have seen my fair share of the KC-135's as well.

Again, congrats.:claps:

Awesome Congrats man! That is seriously fucking awesome!

[CALL911]

WOW, didn't expect to get all this. Thanks everyone for all the kind words. It has been a life long dream to which I have dedicated a great deal of effort and sacrificed a good portion of my prime away from friends, family, and lately due to training even the forum. It also means that my Camaro will probably be sitting a good year and a half in storage as I will be in training in places I don't really have time to enjoy and maintain it to my standard :(

Thanks to Fastbird for making it all the way down south just to give me my first salute. I'll try to get some pictures up later although I'm in a busy time right now moving into a new home in a week and having my pilot training starting very soon.

Thanks again! :tank:
