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.
Horse Hockey!!
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.
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.

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.

For the Jet Engine class there was an “Injun” riding a jet engine.
I was a contractor at Hanscom AFB for the last five and one half years of my professional life, retiring in 2015.
I got sick and tired of the time, money and bandwidth wasted on PC garbage. It was a crime!
This is a particularly nasty swamp that needs serious cleaning. Every officer and noncom involved this area needs immediate separation from the service.
Has the email surfaced? I’m curious who the “senior leader” is.
