If someone told U.S. Air Force Capt. Nathan Tilton one year ago that he would have a hand in the upcoming presidential inauguration, he wouldve called them a liar.
From the time I was given the heads up to now, still feels quite surreal, said Tilton.
The Sierra Vista native joined the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) in support of the 58th Presidential Inauguration, which will take place Jan. 20. The task force is charged with coordinating all military ceremonial support for the inaugural period.
Tilton is the operations officer of the task forces Joint Team of Records.
Our mission is to safely transport President Obamas admin records, artifacts and gift to a temporary storage location in preparation of construction of the presidential library in Chicago, Tilton said. Its a joint branch effort with personnel from the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy assisting, which is pretty exciting.
Tilton said his selection to the position was due to his expertise and clearance level.
I was the only person in a major command who met the requirements, he added.
Tilton is attached with the 618th Air Mobility Operations Center at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
Airmen from the 618th Air Operations Center are able to plan, task, execute and assess global air mobility operations throughout the world, and make sure the right effects are placed at the right place, at the right time, said Brig. Gen. Kenneth T. Bibb, Jr., commander of 618th Air Operations Center. Nate (Tilton) continues to transform requirements into effective missions as he represents as a member of Joint Task Force National Capital Region, where he plays a large role in the coordination.
Tiltons orders on behalf of the National Archives (Washington National Records Center or WNRC) is for six months.
The great thing is my family can visit me, which is comforting, Tilton said. I have a supportive wife that has been with me through many deployments and a beautiful daughter that makes me smile everytime I see her.
Last week, the graduate of Shiloh Christian High School which closed in Sierra Vista several years ago reminisced of childhood days in southeast Arizona and the upcoming big day.
I remember the days of running on dirt roads, listening to my father interview people for an upcoming article, he said. Those times and life now are like night and day. I wouldnt want it any other way.
This Thanksgiving, Tilton said he will spend them with his family, who will travel to D.C. from Illinois.
I am thankful for being part of such an honorable military tradition, my family and living in a country who supports its Armed Forces, Tilton said.
Since 1789, the armed forces participated in the inauguration of the United States president.
Now 220 years later, the participation of the armed forces continue to honor the commander-in-chief and celebrate democracy.
Traditional participation include color guard, salute batteries, honor cordons, musical units and bands

Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America for another month.Who knows who will be the President for the 58th inauguration?
doesn’t hurt to line up early
I agree the headline seems a little weird at first, until you consider that presidents who served more than one term had an inauguration at the start of each term they served.
The one "that is 58"...
The one "who is Noah"...

28. And Samuel said to him [Saul], The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you:
29. And also the NETZACH נצח of Israel will not lie nor change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind:
NATZACH נצח - to trump, triumph, gain victory, conquer, have strength over
Donald Trump - the honest, unapologetic fellow who is known for speaking his mind and getting things done.
