Monthly Wing Promotion Ceremony

The tradition of the Promotion Ceremony is one way that we, who have
worn the same rank, can let a new promote feel the magic of being
promoted. The ceremony allows us to instill in Airmen the significance
of being promoted as well as displaying the faith the U.S. Air Force has
in them to fulfill the responsibilities and duties of their new rank.
Please come out and support the 50th SW's newest promotes on August 31,
2010 at 1500hrs at the Base Fitness Center.

For more information, please contact TSgt D'Ontay Roy of 50 FSS at
