SUPT 19-19/20 Speaker advises graduates remain humble, approachable, credible

Steve Broderick, spouse of Col. Samantha Weeks, 14th Flying Training Wing commander, hands graduates a pair of bolt cutters to help break their first set of wings following Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class’s 19-19/20 graduation in the Kaye Auditorium July 26, 2019, on Columbus Air Force Base, Miss. Breaking of the wings is a tradition for new pilots, as one half is kept by the pilot and the other by a loved one. The two halves are not brought together until the pilot’s death.
