Isaiah Ehlinger, son of Tom and Carla Ehlinger, recently graduated from Basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas.  On Monday, Oct. 12, Isaiah left for Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. to begin his technical school.  Isaiah, a 2015 Kimball High School graduate, will be a member of the Air Force Honor Guard.

The primary mission of the Honor Guard is to represent the U.S. Air Force at all public and official ceremonies within the National Capital Region and abroad when directed by the Military District of Washington, Headquarters U.S. Air Force or subordinate commands.

Like every squadron in the U.S. Air Force, the USAF HG is composed of flights, which in turn, are composed of elements. The ?Äúworkhorse?Äù of the unit is Ceremonial Flight. It is the primary element called upon to supply personnel for all ceremonies that the unit participates in. It is composed of four elements: Colors, Bearers, Firing Party and Drill Team.
