I saw this announcement recently on the San Antonio Express-News website – Space Force’s first seven recruits graduate from Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland: https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Space-Force-s-first-seven-recruits-graduate-15793306.php. Worth a read if you are into things space-related. There are photos in the link. Much longer article, but here’s some basic information.
