The event, which also included a special recognition for newly naturalized U.S. citizens, is one of three key graduation ceremonies in Air Force training.
The Coin and Retreat Ceremony is a time-honored tradition that symbolizes the trainees’ transition into full-fledged members of the U.S. Air Force, marking the end of their basic military training and the beginning of their service as airmen.–News Desk
