After a grueling two week school at Camp Swift, Texas, Spc. Kirby Martin graduated Air Assault School. The training included four, six and twelve mile ruck marches. The class started with 193 men and women from all branches of the military. At the end of the final twelve mile, 68 had dropped out. "Repelling from a Blackhawk helicopter 90 feet from the ground was the most fun I've ever had," said Spc. Martin. Kirby's dad, Steve, had the honor of pinning Kirby's wings on.
