Today was THE day.

Post by Wicked Pilot »

Today I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Aviation with a minor in Physics from Louisiana Tech University. I also today was given by the President of the United States a commission of 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. You may now all hold your head in envy and address me as 'sir' from here on out :D

~Congrats on a job well done, suh
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Bah, as I am neither enlisted in the USAF, nor am I an officer of lower grade (Mind you, there are no officers of lower grade than you at the moment 8) ) I am under no obligation to call you 'sir'. :D

However, congratulations are in order so . . .

Congratulations!

Congratulations. When the HAB completes its next dimensional rift portal device and invades Earth you are now useful enough to warrant brainwashing into our ranks rather then being shot out of hand.

No, he can't meet every officer from every service, nor can he sign every commissioning certificate.

I have only had time to watch one episode so far. Now that I'm out of school and at home, I'll start tearing through them.

Air Force Information Warfare Center at Lackland AFB, Tx. I will go there in late June as a casual status officer and serve coffee for a few months. I will then leave for Laughlin AFB probably no later than April to start pilot training.
