I'm leaving for the Air Force
 

I, Terry L. Salmi, do solemly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Folks, this tuesday, I will be reciting that oath, to be given to me by my father, a retired AF LtCol. I will then be flying to San Antonio International Airport where I will be bussed to Lackland AFB to start Basic Training. After 6 and a half weeks of hell, I will graduate and be an Airman First Class (two stripes) in the world's Greatest Air Force.

It's hard to believe i'm leaving sooo soon!

Short-timer! :)

Enjoy your last weekend as a silly-vilian and you best make damned sure you're at the Omaha MEPS at o'dark thirty Tuesday morning! :D (It just so happens it's also the 20th anniversary of my initiation into Alpha Sigma Phi.)

Good luck in Lackland. And don't flunk out of tech school... lest you wind up going back to Lackland for Services school! ;)

<--- former USAF A1c, back in the days when stars were blue for airman ranks (nearly 20 years ago).

I'm more worried about getting to tech school! Haven't been working out as much as I should of, but oh well.

I'm sure i'll be at MEPS on time...the govt is giving me a free hotel room and two meals, even though my house is closer to MEPS than the hotel!

Good Luck and God Bless!

That's great, docetboy!

Best wishes to you for a successful completion of your training and for a long and successful career in the USAF!

Good Luck to you, Dude.

Not to worry... them MTI's will be giving you plenty of time to work out!

Once you survive Lackland... where are they shipping you out for tech school? Sheppard or Keesler?

Good luck and best wishes to you. This is a great thing you are doing. Keep in touch, Doe-Shay!!;)
