The Air University Holm Center's Officer Training School (OTS) at Maxwell-Gunter AFB is celebrating its 50 year anniversary.

The OTS will invite past and present students to participate in the festivities which will include a retreat ceremony, facility tour, formal dinner and a golf tournament. The event will be highlighted by a keynote speech from the former Air Force Chief of Staff, General Norton A. Schwartz, a member of OTS' second graduating class and the first of its students to attain a flag officer rank.

"We will commemorate 50 years of excellence and the graduation of the class 60A, which was the first class to graduate from the U.S. Air Force Officer Training School," said the OTS' flight commander Captain Steve Masternak, in a statement to the military press. "We wanted former OTS graduates to have the opportunity to return to OTS to see how things have changed since they were officer trainees."

The OTS began life at Lackland AFB, moving to Maxwell-Gunter in 1993 where it eventually merged four years later with the Air Force reserve Officer Training Corps under the Air Force Officer Accession and Training Schools.
