Welcome, congratulate Team Vance Airmen Published Dec. 12, 2006 By Col Mike Callan 71st Flying Training Wing Vance Air Force Base, Okla. -- Team Vance -- Get out and welcome our newest expeditionary air warriors! Today at 3 p.m. at the First Term Airman's Center we are inducting our newest Vance Air Force Base Airmen. Please come out to warmly welcome them to our team. These Airmen are the future of our military and it is our responsibility to motivate, train and lead them. Following the FTAC induction at 3:30 p.m., we will have our new promotion ceremony. We're expecting to congratulate 14 Team Vance warriors, both officers and enlisted, to their new rank. You'll note a new format to the promotion ceremony -- the first and most obvious change is the inclusion of the officers, and second, the ceremony will now change to a new location -- the base theater. Please join me and come out to share in the accomplishments of your fellow Team Vance warriors. Their promotion is a clear sign that they are ready to accept additional responsibility and we are all proud of them and the hard work they are doing to contribute to the wing's mission of being "Expeditionary Air Warriors Training Tomorrow's Leaders!" I promise you'll be glad you stopped by today -- you'll be as proud and inspired as I am meeting these fine men and women and leave feeling secure knowing the future of the world's greatest military is very bright. Be safe!
