Samantha Frank, Cape Central class of 2005, Graduated Air Force Basic Military Training on June 12th 2009 in San Antonio, Tx with "Honors" by writing a 96 out of a possible 100 on her final exam. She was singled out early as a leader and led her flight division to dominate in the grueling "beast" week of training.
She will continue her Air Force education by transferring to Sheppard AFB in Witchita Falls, Tx where she will be trained as a Mental Health Specialist.
Samantha's Basic Training was temporarily put on hold for one week when she took emergency leave to attend her mother's funeral in Covina, California.
