Just graduated Army Basic Training

[jackaro]

Forgot to add that the DL is deeper and more talanted that it has been in many years. Maybe even a couple of decades.

Congratulations, thank you for your service. Where are you doing your AIT? If you have jump school I believe it’ll be Fort Brag next.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Obviously I've been essentially cut off from the world, since February 5th, what all have I missed with our beloved Vols?

Thank you for your service! And as a fellow semi-lurker…6 messages (2 in this thread) since 2018 is impressive!

 

[TBvol]

Thank you for your service

 

[JohnsonLong]

Give you a cookie.

 

[Hulavol]

Congratulations and Thank you !

Not much has changed - Purdue is still a pain in the ass. Bama still sucks. Braves are in first place. Nico looks like a future superstar.

That brought back some old memories. I started my Army basic training on August 14, 1961

Stand Proud! What MOS are you going to have?

 

[Special Ed]

Thanks for your service and welcome back to the board.

1) 50% of the Men's basketball team will be new for '25.

2) Football team is poised for '25 CFP with playmakers everywhere.

3) New LadyVols leadership under new HC Kim Caldwell is taking shape.

4) LadyVol Softball and Men's Baseball are dominating - BaseVols are on course to "smash" Grand Slam total for a season!

5) Success is everywhere so enjoy these times as they don't last forever and take too long to return!

6) No one is expecting this season's BasketVols to make it past the Elite 8.

Congratulations & thanks for your service. I recall BCT in 1970 at Ft. Jackson SC. While there my aunt & uncle took me to see Tennessee vs. South Carolina in Columbia. Talk about exciting! Now you have Vol Nation to catch up on all things Big Orange. HOOAH!

McDad is a tap hard, or not, depending on who you’re reading.

Congrats tweak! A word of advice, start contributing to the BRS immediately. If you plan on doing the full 20 years I believe you have to contribute 15% for it to match the old traditional retirement; that number may have changed some since they started it so you should read up on it to be sure or find a good snco who knows.

Thanks for your service!! My oldest son is active duty Army too. He’s been in 19 years and is retiring next March. He did basic at Fort Benning (infantry).

 

[AllVols]

What is your MOS?

 

[Vols91]

Thank you for your service

 

[Mustng959]

Thanks for your service. Did Air Force basic training in September 1978 - San Antonio Texas. Got to see the world A little in my 4 years active duty. Denmark, France, Germany for 2 of those years, Monterey California, and the great Pacific Northwest at Tacoma, Washington. Loved every minute I was in but doubt I'd want to do it now. Good Luck to you!

 

[BAKOVOLFAN]

Thank you, and if you get sent to Fort Liberty ( Fort Bragg) reach out. You would be surprised the amount of Vols fans out here. We like to get together watch some games.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Congratulations!

Where is Fort Gregg-Adams, and what MOS did you get?

Go Vols!

It's just a little ways SE of Richmond VA.

My son was just there from this past Oct thru February.

 

[bpalmer28]

Congrats and thank you

 

[viennajoe]

Just here to say I am proud to know of your commitment. My daughter just graduated Naval flight surgeon school. We need more good young people to develop into leaders of the future. Good luck young man!

 

[YankeeVol]

Thank you! I'm gonna have to watch that game. I saw they made the elite 8.

Fort Gregg-Adams

Ahh, Fort Lee. I forgot they changed that one too.

 

[YankeeVol]

As a older veteran told my son when he joined the Marines, "Keep your head down and don't volunteer for anything." You'll get all the opportunities you need to be "volunteered" without raising your hand.

 

[headhunter15]

Thanks for serving and good luck!

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I see you were too scared to go through Air Force basic training, obviously the toughest...... ha

Congrats and good luck to you in your career.

Air Force - The only country club you get paid to join.

Thank you to the OP
