SABRE FLIGHT The men outstanding at precision- drilling are the men of Sabre Flight. They belong to the 820th Drill Squad- ron and maintain good moral fiber, drive, leadership and initiative. The Sabre Flight is made up of cadets above average who are willing to devote extra time to activities and develop more skills and advanced train- ing. One of the proudest groups on campus is the AFROTC drill team. Each year the organization is respon- sible for acting as colorbearers for all home football games. They also take part in precision drill around the coun- try representing Tech. The Sabre Flight is a unit made up of sophomore and freshman members who want to receive more out of their military training and maintain a higher degree in military life.
