The nearly one-year-old Space Force graduated its first seven enlistees on Thursday at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. They graduated alongside more than 700 regular Airmen, reciting the Airman s creed and accepting their coins.
The Space Force boot camp was just shy of two months long, and used Air Force Military Training as its foundation. It also included an additional two dozen hours of space-specific curriculum to make it more relevant to the fledgling service’s needs.
