Carlton M. Lewis has joined the United States Air Force under the Delayed Entry Program. The program gives young men and women the opportunity to enlist and delay going into basic military training for up to one year while they complete their education and prepare for military service.
Qualified recruits are eligible to receive skills training, experience and education benefits. After completing basic military training and graduating as new “airmen,” they each receive specialized technical instruction in one of more than 140 career fields.
Lewis will report to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, for basic training in August.
He is a 2017 graduate of New Hope High School.
