TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  One hundred forty-six Community College of the Air Force associate degrees were awarded to Tyndall personnel during a commencement ceremony held at the 325th Air Control Squadron auditorium, April 28. Though all graduates were honored, not all were able to attend due to deployments, permanent changes of station, retirements or separations.
