:balloons:Well finally everything is done, I will be taking the oath and getting commissioned in the AF this Thursday. :balloons: I am very excited, this has been a long process for me which I started in December. I will be going to COT in August. My father is retired army enlisted but since he is a notary public he will be able to administer the oath to me which I am also very excited about. I know it's something that is important to him and I'm glad he can be a part of.

congrats. i am scheduled to take my oath on the 2nd of august. i think that is so cool that you can have a family member do this for you. i would love to have someone i know but i do not have anyone special to ask. are you planning to have anything special, or sort of have a sequence of events happen for you ceremony? my recruiter keeps saying we need to brain storm and make it special but i don't know what to do. the oath only takes a few minutes, then what???
ya my recruiter told me I can do it however I want. I have no idea, probably just something small with my immediate family and fiance there. Thats all I can think of really. I was reading somewhere that what is done sometimes is that the first enlisted person to salute you which is usually done right there is supposed to get a silver dollar from you or something like that. Sorry about being vague but I can't remember the article I was reading.

Congratulations! If your father was enlisted and can fit into his uniform, have him be the first to salute you!
haha ya him fitting into his old uniform would be hard. It fits me more than him. haha.
