The American public has no idea how much it costs to graduate a class from the Air Force Academy. We had the opportunity to witness that graduation several years ago, and then, a few years later, a wedding in that chapel (same person). The graduation lasts several days. They have the ceremony where the senior class passes command (?) to the upcoming seniors which included a flyover of just about everything the Air Force flies or ever has flown. Of course they came from all over the country to get there. I-25 was jammed with onlookers. (For those unaware, I-25 goes right buy the academy). There is another special ceremony where the new lieutenants have their bars pinned on by someone rent a car 18 orlando special. Then, the next day, comes the actual ceremony in the football stadium. I can t remember now whether this took two or three days. The chapel actually contains three chapels; Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. The day of the wedding, there were actually two weddings going on. Fortunately we got to the right place at the right time. Our friend is now a Captain and flies B-1 bombers out of Ellsworth Air Force Base at Rapid City SD. And has a child on the way. JC Reply Delete Replies Janice L Evans August 22, 2012 9:06 PM
That is true that there are three chapels JC. . .I completely forgot about that because the main one was so beautiful. . .it left the others in it s shadow! We got there just as all the cadet classes were dismissing to the dorms. . .which was rather interesting. It seems that perhaps the first year class has to run everywhere. . .do you know if that is true? We were also there for the end of the day lowering the flag ceremony. . .it was cool to see everyone. . .civilians and cadets alike come to attention as the trumpets began. . . Glad you got to witness a graduation. . .I m sure that is magnificent. . . Delete Reply Paul and Marsha Weaver...OCT. 17, 2009 August 23, 2012 6:26 PM
