AF’s 68th birthday celebrated at ball
U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Barry Cornish, 18th Wing commander, Airman 1st Class Aubrina Fairweather, 18th Civil Engineer Squadron operations manager apprentice, and retired Chief Master Sgt. John W. Perkins cut the cake with a saber during the 2015 Air Force Ball Sept. 19, 2015, at the Rocker NCO Club on Kadena Air Base, Japan. It is a tradition for the youngest and oldest Airmen to cut the cake together to signify respect and honor afforded to experience and seniority while symbolizing the newer generation of Airmen who are filling in the ranks.
