323rd Training Squadron Airman's Coin and Retreat Ceremony -- July 12, 2023

Anytime! Anyplace! Mustangs!

AIRMAN'S COIN CEREMONY

Flights begin marching on to the Retreat Pad to receive their Airman's Coin. The ceremony signifies the end of Basic Training. The Coin Ceremony marks the official transition from trainee to Airman. The Retreat portion immediately follows the Coin Ceremony. During Retreat, the U. S. Flag is paid tribute, brought down, folded and safeguarded. After Retreat, Airmen will sing the Air Force Song and be dismissed for Base Liberty. The Airmen will recite the Airman's Creed. Flights are dismissed and Airmen are released to their visitors. Families can now move on to the Retreat Pad to greet and congratulate their Airman. The tradition is that Airmen must be "tapped out" in order to be released to their visitors. To Tap Out your Airman, simply tap him or her on the shoulder.
