If I was located a bit closer to San Antonio, I think I would pop over to Lackland and use this as an excuse to troll.

Nice part about being a retiree...

If Mattis doesn’t root this out, Mattis and Trump own it.

This is the kind of thing that people are tired of, and this is the kind of thing that got Trump elected in the first place.

This word control is not part of their mission.

The Airmen I know are brave men and women...

Very soon they will exclide the words men and women from the vocabulary as offensive to feminists or transgenders.

My son is currently training at JB San Antonio. I’ll have to ask him if he’s seen this.

Some, not all, of those I would agree with.

And why would anyone use boy and girl when talking to, or directing men and women?

We will find out what “Mad Dog Mattis” really means in regards to how stuff like this is handled......

How things have changed. Back in 1976, when I went through BMTS at Lackland, what was emphasized to us was attention to detail that will make us better warfighters in case the Cold War ever went hot.

How about focusing on tactics rather than pussified BS?

Not going to be easy. This PC crap now has DEEP roots in the military.
Endless policies, and multiple departments and offices enforcing the PC line.
I just did some training for a civilian job at Ft Bragg and had at least 5 lectures on various versions of “Diversity”, tolerance, sexual harassment, etc etc etc. The “Diversity” staff there at the hospital were all black women, Latina’s and dykes.

If someone has a ding dong, they’re a boy. If they don’t, they’re a girl. Anything other than that is disrespectful of their chromosomes. Whomever sent this out is a girly-man and that’s more respect than they deserve.

I really want(ed) my 12 year old son to become involved in Civil Air Patrol. He wants to be an aeronautical engineer and he would love it. But I was really afraid of what he would be exposed to (he is homeschooled so not among the masses at public school) in the Obama-era military. I was really hoping that would change under a President Trump. I guess the jury is still out.

We will have to run this by the Base PC Officer.

Blacklist? From now on, when liberal professors and teachers of history and social science indoctrinate their students about the evils of “Joe McCarthy’s Hollywood blacklist,” they will have to come up with an alternate term.

No disrespect intended but McCarthy had no “Hollywood blacklist”. Please don’t perpetuate this lie.
