Retreat

After a guided tour of Laughlin AFB, the pilot trainees assembled, in their flight suites, for a Retreat Ceremony, when the United States Flag is lowered for the evening.

Alex's class started with 35 trainees, but only 27 finished to graduate. Of the others, one quit and 7 washed out for various reasons.

Following the Retreat Ceremony, we all gathered at the Officer's Club for a Reception and Cocktail Party to "kick-off" Graduation Week, during which the United States Air Force will accept 27 new pilots.

Congratulations and good luck to all of the graduates.
