In the summer of that year, Katie reported to The Basic School (TBS) at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico, Virginia. She then reported to Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida, for aviation indoctrination in November 2009. She completed primary flight training in the T-6B Texan II at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, and transferred to Training Squadron 31 (VT-31) at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, for intermediate and advanced training where she flew the T-44 Pegasus. She received her wings of gold in October 2011.

Katie reported to 2nd Marine Air Wing (MAW) at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, in December 2011.
