Air Force Airman James J. Owens graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas.

The 2013 Lackawanna Trail Junior-Senior High School graduate completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
