From the Valley to the Air Force 🇺🇸✈️
My biggest ship day yet! Today, FOUR future Airmen are stepping out of the Ohio Valley and into something bigger.

Left ➡️ Right in the photo:

👤 Airman 1: Kaleb Caprita
• 1D731A – Network Systems Operations
• Graduate of Martins Ferry High School
• College experience → entering the Air Force as an E-2 (Airman)

👤 Airman 2: Conner Wilson
• 1B431 – Cyber Warfare Operations
• Graduate of Barnesville High School
• Former wrestler—disciplined, focused, and a great applicant all around

👤 Airman 3: Johnathan Wheaton
• 2A636 – Aircraft Electrical & Environmental Systems
• Graduate of Bridgeport High School
• Former band member—bringing discipline and teamwork to aircraft maintenance

👤 Airman 4: Gabriel Wheaton
• 1C831 – Radar, Airfield & Weather Systems
• Graduate of the Belmont Career Center
• Also participated in band alongside his brother—teamwork runs deep

👥 Family Legacy Moment
The Wheatons are twin brothers continuing a proud family tradition—their older sister served in the Air Force after being recruited from this office back in 2020.

And here’s the part that really hits: 10 years ago almost to the day, I raised my right hand and joined the Air Force. Today, I have the honor of sending four new Airmen to our team. Grateful, humbled, and proud to pay it forward.

From the Valley to the Air Force—this is how it starts.
