349 AMW CCAF graduates recognized Published Jan. 10, 2023 By Master Sgt. Jose Aquilizan 349 AMW TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The 349th Air Mobility Wing held a Community College of the Air Force graduation ceremony to recognize members of the Wing who completed their requirements to earn an Associate Degree through the CCAF on Jan. 6 at the Base Theater at Travis Air Force Base, California. The Community College of the Air Force concept evolved in the early 1970s as means for Airmen to gain recognition for their U.S. Air Force training. Further education provides Airmen an opportunity to be better at their jobs within the Air Force and to make them more competitive outside of their military service.
