We arrived in San Antonio on Wednesday evening June 22. The Howard Johnsons that we'd reserved a room at did something surprising. We were staying 5 nights. The clerk mentioned we should have booked a room with a frig. I told her I thought we had. Mentioned that my nehew was graduating from the AirForce that week and we were here to see it all. She upgraded our room to suite with a full kitchen for the cost of the 1st night's price in the basic room. No upcharge even for weekend nights, too!! Amazing deal and person. The place was showing it's age, but was clean and the free breakfast was just fine.
Thursday Patrick, my nephew, got awarded his Air Force Airman's coin. He just finished with basic training. Said it was some of the toughist 8 weeks of his life. There were just over 500 graduating Airmen. My sister, brother in law and his younger sister drove out to see their boy who is now a man.
They of course are VERY proud of him. He is going to school to learn his job. That is to be the person that refuels the other aircraft in mid-flight. A great job and hopefully he won't be in harms way!
He was the lead airman in his flight group because he was the top person in parade. I guess the 4 years in ROTC has really paid off for him.
