SAN ANTONIO Call it a monumental graduation: friends and family were able to witness their loved ones graduate at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in person. It s the first time in 16 months because of restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It was a day that a long time coming, Major General William Spangenthal said during the ceremony.
A variety of measures were put into place when COVID-19 hit last spring. One of those is moving graduation to Thursdays; the most emotionally severe was loved ones not being here to see trainees graduate from trainee to airman in person.
