Colors & Carry: Honor Guard training graduation, beyond

| Staff Reporters
Senior Airman Gage Gardner’s first day of Honor Guard training began with a bang!

A flag detail holds the flags steady in the breeze during the Team Eglin Honor Guard graduation ceremony at Eglin Air Force Base, April 25, 2025. Approximately 11 new Airmen graduated from the 200-plus-hour course. The graduation performance includes flag detail, rifle volley, pallbearers and bugler for friends, family and unit commanders.
