Swearing In

Logen is here in the back,
all of the cadets are standing at attention


The Fifth Third Ball Park


Logen took the big step of Swearing In as an AirForce candidate when he was 17 in Lansing, MI. It was after a full day of testing and we his parents and family were unable to attend. The AirForce had a public ceremony recently in July at the Fifth Third Ball Park www.whitecaps-baseball.com that afforded us the opportunity to watch our children take their vow to the country with which they are now sworn to defend. I was very proud once again at my son's stamina to attain his goal. The AirForce has been a dream since he was in 4th grade, promising a jet ride to his teacher Mrs. Otten when he recieves his pilot's license. It's unknown if he'll get that license while in the AirForce or a civilian, but I ran into Mrs. Otten last month and she assured me she remembered her promise to Logen all those years ago, same as he has. Logen leaves Sept. 4th for basic training in Texas and stays there for his tech school, but we do not know where he will be permately stationed at yet. I do know that I will miss him immensely!!
