Oh hey, that is awesome! Yes, he is a great person for sure! Send me a message and I'll be happy to point you in the direction where you can download that photo, and any other photos of yourself from those two days. Matthew@AustinPhotographic.com or IG: @austinphotographic
My son is in his second week of basic in USAF. I look forward to graduation day, I miss him so much. Congratulations to all that have and all that will graduate.
Congratulations on your son's journey! That first phone call is a bundle of emotions. So short, but so nice to hear their voice. If you plan on attending the graduation, I'd be happy to share the few things I learned about attending them :)
@amomentwithdad yes, we received our 72 hour phone call. It was very short but I enjoyed every second. I'm hoping that he will be able to make another phone call soon. Maybe over the holidays. .I will be more than happy to take any information you have. This is our first son joining the Air Force. My youngest son which is 16 is an ROTC program at his high school and he'll be joining the Airforce as soon as he graduates also. My brother-in-law has been in the Air Force for over 20 years he is a major, so I use him as an example for my sons. I'm going to be going through this for a while lol.
That is so great, having so many people serve in your family! You're welcome to email me. My aspiration is to add a page on my website with the tips listed for folks, but life's busy enough I'm not sure when that will happen. It can be a little overwhelming with all of the unknows of who's going to be where, when, for how long, "was that him?" and so on :) My email is matthew@austinphotographic.com
Ah, my grandson graduated from bootcamp November 9th....it was awesome to see ALL the young men and women who had worked so hard...many congratulations to them all...
Congratulations to your grandson! His service, and all of their service, is much appreciated! If he is in any of the photos that I took, I would be happy to share a link where you, or he, can download a copy 😊
Thank you so very much, I think in one of your videos we were right in front of you.I saw my daughters hand...he is headed to Italy next week, tech school finished and on to new adventures...
Italy! How exciting! If you'd like to email me, I'll share the link where you can see and download any photos he, or you are in. I think there's a photo, or two, where there's a photo up into the grandstands. My email is Matthew@AustinPhotographic.com

4:32 dang that "congratulations, you are now American citizens" hit me. I don't recall them doing this during my graduation. I never even really thought about all the people who gained American citizenship. I can't imagine what the graduation felt like for them
I felt the same way! Great point, I'd imagine their graduation experience was on a whole different level. The graduation I shot in April of this year didn't have that part. It seems to be pretty new.
Congratulations! You are correct, there is a maximum number of 6 guest passes allowed. Service members with a military ID can bring up to 5 people with them. Not that we had any on this trip, but minors also do not need a pass. I may be wrong, but it is my understanding the limit is related to number of passes that can be issued. If you haven't already started following USAF Basic Military Training on FB, it has a lot of great information. They also have a website, if you are not on FB. ... I just looked it up again on that FB group and the FAQ post from 12/10/2023, slide one - second question is regarding passes. It states six guests are allowed who require installation access. The second slide - second question states DOD ID card holders can escort up to 5 visitors onto JBSA. I was there for a graduation in April and November this year. If you'd like to email me, I'd be happy to share some tips I've learned. If you haven't considered it, I am available to come create a similar video and photo compilation for you and your graduate. Thanks for the question!! Matthew@AustinPhotographic.com austinphotographic.com
As I understand, they cannot move until someone "taps" them out. It's quite a sight of discipline watching them stand still as so many people rush in and round them 😊
i’m the airman right behind ayden at 4:12. thank you so much for uploading this! he was a great wingman

Served 10 years in the Air Force. Graduated basic training in April 2011 and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Definitely one of life's milestones! Congratulations and thank you for your decade of service!
@@amomentwithdad thank you very much!
Man, thanks for making me feel old. Served 1983-2012. The bright side is we overlapped by 1.5 years.
Wow, what a career! Thank you for your service!

Congratulations, Did they not have a 6 person limit? Curious since I will be there for my son in January.
Congratulations!

Can they move before there Loved ones touch them?
