Letters from home and letters to home during her U.S. Air Force Basic Training are scattered with humor, wonder, family history, and insights to military life. This book also includes classroom training notes that show not only extensive training of Air Force facts, statistics, rules and regulations, but also citizenship, military intelligence, security, personal/social responsibilities and character building - to name a few.

Read about how her WAF Flight 3 strives to become strong team members and excel to win the Honor Plaque four weeks in a row. She shows how daily efforts come together in support of the team effort. Continual lessons include: learning how to march in unison, make beds, store rolled clothing, go to classes, support others within the Flight, maintain good grades, clean the barracks, keep up closets and drawers to specifications - getting up at 5:00 every morning and going to bed at 8:30 each night, serving as barracks guard and on various work details. These are all unique learning experiences for a naive 18 year old leaving home and family to venture out into the military world.
