Completes basic

Air Force Airman Emily B. Forbeck has graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

During the six weeks of training, Forbeck studied the Air Force mission, organization and military customs and courtesies; performed drill and ceremony marches and received physical training, rifle marksmanship, field training exercises and special training in human relations. In addition, airmen who complete basic training earn credits toward an associate’s degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Forbeck, a 2005 graduate of Northern Heights High School, is the daughter of Donald and Peggy Forbeck of Strong City.

Emily's parents should be very proud of her. I am, and I don't even know her. Any young person who serves our nation in the armed forces is to be respected and appreciated.
