Getting a congratulations handshake for making captain and getting a regular commission, December 1977

Academy graduates automatically received a regular commission upon graduation.  The rest of us had to earn one, and it was a small percentage of officers who did so.
 
This was one of the high points of my career at Minot.  It would deteriorate after that before I finally left for the Academy in a few months.
