We got up early and headed out for the swearing in. It was Dad, Ashley, David, and Myself. We stopped on the way and picked up David's girlfriend Miranda. He had to sign a million pages of paperwork when we got to one building and when he was finished we followed his recruiter to another building for the actual swearing in.The picture above is of him learning how to stand at attention. I don't remember what was said but obviously it was something funny!!
Here he is actually taking the oath! It was funny because the man told him to repeat after him and when he said for David to state his full name David almost responded by saying "please state your full name!!" Before he did that he caught himself but then had to think what his middle name was! I think he was nervous! What does anyone else think!!
Here he is after having a photo opp!!
He had one final paper to sign at the end and so that is what he is doing! The one below is the same thing, I just made him look up and smile while he was doing it! He is a little red in the picture but I thought it was a keeper!!
We had Miranda take a picture of all of us together. I don't know what David is looking at but it is not at the camera!!
Below is a picture of David and his girlfriend Miranda! I think she is a cute girl!
It was a good day to say the least. I did my Costco shopping while out there so I got to kill two birds with one stone!! Ashley seemed to like her also, between her and Miranda the talking didn't stop!!Congratulations David!! Oh, he is set to leave to the basic training in Texas on March 15Th!

I'm so proud of David and think that the Air Force will be great for him!
And YES, Miranda is super cute and looks like a sweetheart, too!
The funny thing about standing at attention is that you should not smile or laugh while doing it. The will beat that into him at basic though. :)
I think the Air Force is a great choice too. Seems to be becoming a trend among our family. Mom says Samuel is planning to do the same thing? So March 15th seems really far away. What will David be doing in the meantime? And does that mean he has to wait a year after that date to go on a mission?
I agree, Miranda does look really cute and sweet.
Amy,
I can't answer all your questions, but the part about his mission I can.
He should be able to go on his mission a year after he enlisted, which officially was the day he was sworn in. So he will basically go to basic, tech school, then get introduced to his Unit at Hill then go on the mission.
