into each compartment?
Alma,
Once students have gathered several clues, they’ve been instructed to come to your office area.
They should wait until you are not busy, and then shake your hand and say, “The Falcon has landed.”
If they shake your hand and say the correct words, please give them the clue I’ve provided for you.
If they do not shake your hand or say the words, “The Falcon has landed,” please tell them to read their
clues and come back later.
Your service to the United States Air Force is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Eddie
