Updated: 08.22.08
Foster High School graduate Air Force Airman 1st Class Clinton T. Hill has graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

Hill is the son of Barbara Hill of Land Grant Court, in Richmond.

During the six weeks of training, the airman studied the Air Force mission, organization, and military customs and courtesies and special training in human relations.

With completing basic training, Hill has earned credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.


In 2006, he received an associate degree in 2006 from Full Sail Real World Education School, Orlando, Fla.

Three Fort Bend County locals have graduated from their respective military training.

Army Pvt. Bruce J. Massey has graduated from the Infantryman One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga.

Massey is the son of Greg and Theresa Burdick of Kocurek Road, Guy, Texas.

The nine-week training consists of basic combat training.

Additional training included development battlefield operations and tactics, and experienced use of various weapons and weapons defenses available to the infantry crewman.

The Advanced Individual Training course is designed to train infantry soldiers to perform reconnaissance operations; employ, fire and recover anti-personnel and anti-tank mines; locate and neutralize land mines and operate target and sight equipment; operate and maintain communications equipment and radio networks; construct field firing aids for infantry weapons; and perform infantry combat exercises and dismounted battle drills, which includes survival procedures in a nuclear, biological or chemical contaminated area.

Air Force Airman Jocelyn Leite-Jackson, a 2002 graduate of Elkins High School, has graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

Leite-Jackson is the daughter of Shaun Leite of N. Arbor Bough Circle, Fresno, Texas, and Cecilia Marshall of E. 102nd St., New York City, N.Y.

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.

Like Hill, Leite-Jackson has earned credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
