Back from basic traing as an A1C? Have they changed the designation of the rank? When I finished basic back in 1960 I was an A3C and had to get through A2C before I could be promoted to A1C.
Anyway, congrats. I loved the AF and I wish you well.
The story goes that one of President Johnson's daughters was dating an A2C. The President is reported as saying " nobody should be a second class anything" so they redid the rank structure.
