A Day in the Life of an Airman Student

I wake up to the laughter and shouts of soldiers across the way. I stumble in the darkness, trying not to wake my room mate. Once at my destination, I stare at the brilliant pink clouds in a blue sky, the sunrise behind them. And on my way to learn how to protect my friends, family and everyone of this great country I walk behind a sea of blue, prepared to learn from those who have gone before and prepared to pass their knowledge on to those of us whose time has come to take over and let their wearied souls and bodies rest while our fresh, young excited selves prepare for a new day to protect and serve the next generation who will one day relieve us when we can take no more.
