What a shame...there must not have been any R/W slots left. Oh well, he should be okay!

Stealth,
So how was the winging? Details please!
Graduation has been a great time. Thursday night started it off with formal retreat at 1700 followed by a reception at the O-Club. Many of the Officer Spouses clubs had tables set up for their fundraisers. (I spent a good chunk of money on momentos and t-shirts.)
Friday we had a great breakfast at the O-Club at 0800 and then graduation/awards/winging in the auditorium at 1000. Afterward there were tours and the opportunity to use the simulators. I found that I could take off in the T-38 sim, but landing was more difficult. It is not very forgiving and I was able to get it back on the runway but at too high of a speed so I blew out the tires on my landing gear and crashed. Tonight we had the formal dinner and class videos. Laughlin really put on a good time for everyone.
Son did very well with graduation awards. He received the Commanders award for highest airmanship scores (daily rides and check rides) in the T-38, the Flying Training Award for highest overall MASS score for his class, and also the Distinguished Graduate Award for T-38s for being #1 in his class.
