Sharing our family with you: Air Force Academy

Most of you know that my younger brother Ben is at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. The Air Force has a website that they post pictures of training so the families can see what is going on. The blogger is known as Webguy and he and his team do a great job. This is where we get the picutres from. I usually post pictures to Facebook but some of you that look at this may not be on there. I have put some of the pictures on here for you to see. I didn't post them all because I have too many and it would take forever to upload them, but you will get the idea from the ones I did post. I am so proud of him! This past week was his last week of BCT (Basic Cadet Training). August 4th they have a ceremony to get their shoulder boards then they start school. He will go to the Academy for 4 years then he will be 5 years active. I'm not sure if he has is mind set on what field he wants to be in but he is leaning towards a pilot. I'm hoping for something halfway safe..if he does choose to be a pilot I would like him to fly cargo planes!! During the 2nd week of basic training they went to "Jacks Valley" which is where they do all of the physical/ combat training stuff. Like you see in the movies, climbing over walls and under barb wire...etc. The pictures that say "Jacks Valley" are from that training area. Oh and they can't wear their contacts so they all have standard issue glasses..very ugly. We did get some pictures without them because I belive he broke his near the end of BCT.
