Great to have another fine person in the military...especially a Vol fan. You will find us few and far between in the military. I have spent the past 10 years of my life in the service of the United States Army. I am sure you will enjoy your service. Very few things are as rewarding as serving your country. Good luck on Basic Training.

I hope you are joking. The Basic Training for the Army and Air Force greatly differs. Not sure what Air Force Basic Training is like, but I can tell you Army Basic Training was a fun miserable time when I went through 10 years ago.

Yeah, then it's totally different, because AF basic was like a two-month, all-expenses-paid vacation for me.

I was actually being sarcastic. The Army is not the bunch of badasses they consider themselves to be.

The Army is not a bunch of pansies either. We have been involved in one war for closed to ten years and another for seven years. You'd be hard pressed to find another period in time where the Army has fought this long in any war. No we are not all Rangers or Green Berets but you gotta give credit where credit is due. We are the world's premier Army and fighting force.

Thank you for your service, and my God bless and keep you and your family and bring you home safe.

I didn't say the Army is pansies. However, they are not the overwhelming physical superiors of the Air Force. By the way, I am very thankful for what the Army does over there.

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!!!

This is true, I was active duty AF for five years (2002-2007) and I met a ton of physically fit people. People generalize that the AF guys sit behind desks all day and ride bikes for their PT test. This is completely wrong, the AF does the timed 1.5 mile run, push ups and sit ups, and I have read, that across the board the AF stacks up pretty good against the other branches, in some cases better.

Now, I am with the Army, and I have to say, take away the army patches from the uniforms or PT shirts and they are probably on par with the the AF guys. You have out of shape people in all branches, that is a fact...

BTW, to the guys going to BT, good luck at Lackland... Remember the corp values, Integrity First, Service before Self and Excellence in all you do!!! If you see an opportunity to lead, take it... Don't be average... Attention to detail... Adapt and be Flexible... and finally, be a good Wingman, take care of your troops!

I've always suspected that. I don't trust crew chiefs either. Lord knows what they do when we're away from the jet.

Always trust the crew chiefs, they are the backbone of the flightline. Also, their reputations precede them in places like Crete, Panama, St. Croix, etc.

Yes, I was a crew chief on C-130's. Good luck and enjoy your time. There will be a lot more good times than bad.

I usually run around with the crew chiefs whenever we go somewhere. Most of the time they're my kind of people.
