    Sgt. Jonathan Blair of Chicago receives his Officer Candidate School graduation certificate. Twenty-two Illinois Army National Guard Soldiers and one U.S. Army Reserve Soldier graduated from the 129th Regiment (Regional Training Institute) Officer Candidate School on Aug. 21, fulfilling the leadership and military education requirements to be commissioned as U.S. Army officers. The ceremony was held at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Springfield, Illinois. Blair chose to hip-pocket his commission and seek federal recognition as an officer at a later date. Blair was awarded the Erickson Award as the Distinguished Honor Graduate of Class 67-22.
