Brig. Gen. Carl Schaefer, 412th Test Wing commander at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., had the unique honor of speaking at the first ever eighth grade promotion ceremony for Fulton and Alsbury Academy of Arts and Engineering in Lancaster, Calif.
The newly opened school held its first promotion ceremony next door in New Vista Middle School’s gymnasium, which was filled to capacity with family, friends and students.
Schaefer served as the VIP guest speaker for the ceremony. He urged the students to set goals and work hard to achieve them. Schaefer grew up with the Air Force as the son of an Airman. He reminisced about seeing jets flying and asking, “There’s people that get paid to do that? How do I do that?”
