A Hopkinsville native recently graduated the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Joint Hometown News Service reports Andrew Burman received a bachelor of science degree and was commissioned as a second lieutenant.
They add the academy is a four-year military institution of higher learning that develops and inspires new air and space leaders with a vision for the future. The curriculum provides instruction, education, training and experience in academics, military training, physical and athletic conditioning, and spiritual and ethical development to all cadets.
Cadets graduate with the knowledge, character, and skills essential for future career officers in the U.S. Air Force. As new lieutenants, they will go on to serve as pilots, navigators, engineers, maintenance officers or professionals in various technical fields, while other cadets may go on to attend medical or graduate school with special scholarships, or directly to non-rated Air Force-wide assignments.
Burman is the son of Mark and Lauren Burman of Hopkinsville and is also a 2014 graduate of University Heights Academy.
