One week from Today (07 Dec 2010)

[VolsFreak18]

I will be doing what millions have done before me. I will be going into Basic Training for the Air Force. December 14th will be my ship out date and I will graduate, God Willing, 11 Feb 2011. This will be the first time in 20 years that I will not get to watch all the college football bowls. It will also be the first time in about 10 years that I won't be able to follow recruiting for the Vols. All of that doesn't even include missing Christmas and New Years.

So why make a Thread about this? Well I am a Tennessee Volunteer through and through. While I am running through mud, doing push ups, getting little sleep, and even being talked to like I am no one, my heart will still be with the Vols. I will still wondering how they are doing at 6:40 on 30 December 2010. I will still be wondering how our recruiting class finished on 2 Feb 2011. I will still be a Volunteer and after I graduate I will know that I am that much closer to seeing MY team take the field in 2011.

I do have one request and it is that everyone cheer a little louder, clap a little harder, and celebrate a little longer after we win. I promise you that I will run a little faster, do push ups a little longer, and never give up. While no one will notice on the outside, deep inside will be my Tennessee Volunteer Pride shinning through it all.

Go Vols and God Bless!!!

Thank you for volunteering to serve. I will be sure to stand and cheer for the Vols in your absence. (Assuming the usher don't ask me to sit down )

 

[milligan_vol]

Good luck and God bless you buddy

Best of luck! I have been a Vol Fan all my life and I have served in the Air Force for 22+ years....spent a lot of time missing games and wondering what is happening. However, I would not have traded these 22+ years for anything! As I wind down my career (Plan to retire in 2012) and you begin your career......stand proud, you are doing a great service to all Americans. If you have any questions/concerns, PM me and I will do my best to answer what you have....

If he is going to basic, I would assume he will be a wrench turner or electronic tech

 

[FlVolDoc]

Good luck, son. You now know what it is to be a Tennessee Volunteer.

God Bless and Go Vols!

Not necessarily. There are thousands of Career Enlisted Aviators (CEA). And yes, I know this as a fact.

 

[DaDuRkEr]

Good luck to you and I admire what you are choosing to do with your life and what that means to all of us civilian types. They will all know your true colors when you bleed, sweat, and show those orange tears of pride upon graduation.

Go Vols and I salute you!!!

Edit: I thought when you referred to "flying" you meant stick time, not FE or snack *****.
