ZACH MILLER IS WITH THE BLUE ANGELS

He Wore Red First

It doesn't seem like time can move that fast but Hill Spirit remembers when Zach was playing for the Red Devils on the Hilltop.   We are so proud of all our Elkmont folk who are serving in the armed forces.
 
Zach Miller spent one semester at the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 2006 before deciding college just wasn't for him. His grandmother would kill him if she knew he'd been talking to a Navy recruiter, so he told his grandfather about his plans instead. He could go, as long as the Navy put him to work doing something useful.  Fast forward 10 years and Miller is now a mechanic in what is perhaps the military's most famous flying group: The Blue Angels.



Zach says, “It's an awesome experience,”  “I never really thought I'd have the opportunity. It's crazy kind of how it worked out. It's more fast-paced than anything I have ever done with the Navy.”


Miller is scheduled to travel with the Blue Angels to 10 shows this year. The closest show to Limestone County will be June 4-5 in Smyrna, Tennessee. His sons are ecstatic about their dad's new job and Miller said he's excited to interact with his and other children during his travels.
“That's like, one of the most fulfilling experiences I'll take away from this,” he said.
