Maxwell AFB is where my son went to OTS and we went there to
see him graduate.

He later decided he hated being an officer and went back to being enlisted. He’s now a Master Sgt. When he retires, he’ll receive captain’s retirement pay, because it was his highest rank while active. He’s earned it!

Luv W,

My son joined the AF late after being out of college several years. After his T.Sgt. wife was completing her six years he joined. Graduated from OTS here at Maxwell two years ago and is flying KC-135’s now. We’ll see what there is left flying after Hagel and Ubama get through with their butchery.

I attended his graduation and met a lot of fine Non-Coms who were graduating their advanced programs at at the same time. Awesome bunch of non-coms, all with chests full of service ribbons in the combat zones. I’m proud of our sons.

Will he have a retirement “party” that you will attend?

Yes, he’s earned it.
