So proud:)

I am one proud mama:)  Both Chris and Kevin came home smiling~ it was a good day.  They both ranked up.

AFJRTOC 2LT

AFJROTC Staff Sergeant

I am so proud of my boys.  They have worked hard to get the ranks they are now.  Chris went from Master Sergeant to 2 Lieutenant.  Kevin went from Airman Basic to Staff Sergeant:)

Air Force JRTOC Change of Command Ceremony

We had the pleasure of attending Christopher and Kevin's last AFJRTOC Change of Command Ceremony.  As many of you know, I am very sad about the Air Force pulling the JRTOC program from our high school. This program has done so much good for so many cadets.

We had a nice light dinner and talked with several of the cadets.  Many thanks to my mother in law for babysitting little Michael and Nathan so we could enjoy this last ceremony. 

Here are some pictures of the night:

We had a great time at the ceremony and were happy that both Chris and Kevin were recognized.  We will continue to support all our cadets and will make this last year the best for them:)

Air Force JRTOC Military Ball

Chris and Kevin were so excited to go to the Air Force JRTOC Military Ball.  This is Christopher's 3rd and Kevin's 1st Military Ball.

Aren't they handsome?  My boys look so handsome in their uniforms.  They had a great time at the Military Ball.  They ate, danced and had a great time with their JROTC classmates.

It makes me sad to think that this will be the last Military Ball they attend since the JROTC program was cancelled at their school.  They have worked so hard for all of their accomplishments.

We are looking into alternate programs to allow them to stay in an JROTC program setting and to receive their credit for their military or college future.

I am so thankful for all the JROTC program has brought to our family:)
