Tapping out her husband Clive was a moment Gillian described as “Butterflies running through my whole body.”

The Robert Browncouple, who'd been married for just over a year, had been apart for months while Clive was away for Air Force training. Tapping out is an Air Force tradition in which graduates remain at attention until a family member or friend taps them on the shoulder. 

At Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, the honor of tapping him out fell to Clive's wife Gillian, and she could not have been more emotional and proud.
