PENSACOLA NAVAL AIR STATION — The college graduates who are soon to complete training at the nation's oldest naval air station will be the final class to graduate from the base's officer candidate school, ending a military tradition that lasted nearly seven decades.
After graduation ceremonies on Friday, the school will close and consolidate with a training center in Newport, R.I.
"Hundreds of classes have suffered out there" on the exercise field and parade deck at Pensacola Naval Air Station, said Allen Hamby, a 21-year-old admiral's son and University of Central Florida graduate who plans to be a supply officer. "And we are going to be the last class doing it."
