Gunfighters earn CCAF degrees Published May 6, 2008 MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- The Mountain Home AFB Spring 2008 Community College of the Air Force graduation ceremony is scheduled for May 9 at 10 a.m. at the Gunfighter Club. "The traditional graduation ceremony honors the dedication and determination of the individuals completing this academic achievement," said Talmage Delange 366th Mission Support Squadron education center guidance counselor. "The CCAF concept evolved in the early 1970's as a means of gaining recognition for Air Force training. Visionaries recognized the need to enhance the skills of noncommissioned officers as technicians, leaders, and citizens and increase their development as managers of Air Force resources." The Community College of the Air Force was established April 1, 1972, at Randolph AFB, Texas and is accredited through Air University by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Seventy-five Gunfighters have earned an Associates of Applied Science degree in their respective Air Force specialty code from the CCAF, with four earning double degrees. "The graduates have balanced family obligations and military duties to complete the academic requirements that led to the conferral of the Associates of Applied Science Degree," said Mr. Delange. "Families, friends, commanders, supervisors and coworkers are encouraged to recognize and celebrate this educational milestone and honor the achievements of our spring 2008 graduates at the graduation ceremony."
