They escorted Kwami on base in a Humvee, gave him a welcome ceremony and swore him in.
They even gave him his own wing-man for the day.
And gave him a chance to fly a helicopter simulator.

"It's thrilling, exciting, most spectacular thing I've ever done. I feel special," said Kwami.
Kwami has a rare malignant brain tumor.
The Check Six Foundation, which helps terminally ill children, helped arrange and pay for the experience.
