The seven enlistees will graduate days before the U.S. Space Force marks its first anniversary on Dec. 20.

According to JBSA-Lackland, they will be among the more than 700 graduates from the 320th Training Squadron.

Air Force Secretary Barbara M. Barrett will be a guest speaker at the ceremony.

The Space Force is the first new military service since the U.S. Air Force was established in 1947.

Last month, U.S. Senator John Cornyn sent a letter Barrett in support of selecting San Antonio as the U.S. Space Command’s future headquarters.
