Georgia National Fair provides venue for mass enlistment

  • Published
Air Force Reserve Command hosted a mass enlistment ceremony for 24 new recruits at the Georgia National Fairgrounds here Oct. 10.

The recruits, all Georgians from around the state, took the oath of enlistment in front of a crowd of about 8,000 country music fans, who had gathered in Reaves Arena for a concert by recording artists Montgomery Gentry.

Some of the recruits enlisted for the first time, while others had prior military service.
