Spotlight shines on Capt. Vollink
Spotlight on: Capt. Theresa Vollink
- 932nd Airlift Wing, Air Force Reserve Command.
Military background:
Spent four years active duty at
Scott Air Force Base and went overseas
at Manas.
Hobbies?
Horseback riding, hiking, quilting, and
traveling.
Heroes growing up?
My parents who always seemed
to have an unlimited amount of time and
patience for all five of their children.
They supported me in all my decisions
growing up.
They were always there whenever
I needed that extra push to move forward
to the next level. Without them I
would not be where I am today.
Favorite animal?
My pooch, Midnight, who is a
mixed border collie and black lab.
Why join the Air Force Reserve?
I was not quite ready to give up
the whole military community when I left
active duty. So I decided to join the
Air Force Reserve Command to continue
to serve my country.
Who would you most like to
meet today and why?
Colin Powell! I have always been
fascinated by his words and actions. I
heard him speak a few years back at a
leadership conference and have always
wanted to hear more. I think he has so
much wisdom and experience to share
with us and it might help us become
better leaders and Airmen. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Stan Paregien)
