10. You combat park your POV (personally owned vehicle, aka, car) so everyone can see the Power T front license plate.
9. You sometimes get up at 3 a.m. to watch a game from a third of the way around the globe.
8. You sneak something orange under the uniform in a place your platoon sergeant hopefully won't notice.
7. You shouted Go Vols! instead of Hooah! accidentally during the first week of boot camp. Twice. And survived.
6. You considered saluting the A&M lieutenant from Third Platoon with the VFL handsign, but would rather avoid the Art 15.
5. You actually did salute him with it. Luckily, he just laughed at you. Some LTs are good people, even if ugly Aggies.
4. You and a fellow Vol snuck into the artillery battalion's area one day and replaced their colors with an orange & white Vols flag. They're still looking for their colors.
3. Discovering that the Division Commanding General is a fellow Volunteer, you went over to his quarters and rang the bell just to say hello. He had you in for a beer and talked football with you for 45 minutes.
2. During Army-Navy game weekend, you're the only one walking around saying Go Big Orange in response to other people's "beat Navy" calls.
1. Everyone else got the American Eagle tat on their chest, but you got the 14" tall Power T instead.
