Local woman completes airforce basic training

Air Force Reserve Airman First Class Patricia M. Del Rio graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
During the six weeks of training, the airman studied the Air Force mission, organization and military customs and courtesies; performed drill and ceremony marches; and received physical training, rifle marksmanship, field training exercises and special training in human relations.
In addition, airmen who complete basic training earn credits toward an associate degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
Del Rio earned distinction as an honor graduate.
She is the granddaughter of Ernie Bedford Sr. of Clarkston.
