A lot has happened over the past five or so weeks, I did take a “leave of absence” if you will from my blog so I could give my full attention to the latest thing to arise in my life. Airman Leadership School. ALS is basically the first step to being a Non-Comissioned Officer in the United States Air Force. I was fortunate to be a member of the class of 2010-2, and I’m faithfully a proud member of Freedom Flight. A ragtag group of 16 individuals who never really followed the norm, but were brought together with a simple premise.
Survive and graduate ALS.
We had undoubtedly the best instructor in the world, Staff Sergeant Minnette Mason. Our mentor was my First Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant Derek Stepp.
These two made sure we had the right and proper information to graduate, all we had to do was give 3 speeches/briefings, 4 papers, 4 tests, a drill evaluation, and be awesome.
The entire class passed with flying colors.
I made some great friends, I definitely have some great memories and inside jokes to keep going. I learned a lot, and I learned a lot more about myself (that bit I can thank someone for that). But, the last bit.
The graduation ceremony, it all came together.
Congrats!!!! <3
