During his technical training school, Kevin enrolled into a leadership program that would command squadron marches and drills during ceremonies and daily formations. They called themselves "Ropes." Ropes move up in rank by demonstrating excellence, great deal of moral stands, and the highest level of leadership. By the time Kevin graduated from tech school he had been promoted to the highest ranked Rope in his squadron. Once Kevin arrived at his duty station he saw another opportunity to be a leader and to be apart of a bigger picture of what the Air Force Stands for. Kevin volunteered for the base Honor Guard team. Here he would truely learn about proffesionalism, procedures, structure, apprience, working as a team, honor, respect, and most of all attention to detail. In the Honor Guard you are taught to be perfect, literally a fine tooth comb picking out every little detail. In the Honor Gaurd you are not an individual or a name you are the last representive of the branch of service in the eyes of the next of kin to a fallen soldier. There was no great sence of honor than being able to carry the american flag during a parade, firering off the 21 gun salute, folding the american flag over a lowered cascet or handing the flag off to a greaving widow. 2007 Kevin was officaly honorably discharged from the military and free to continue his pursute to being a movie director.
