Actually, it’s an airgal. Looks to be an E-5. Wonder what the badge above the single row of ribbons denotes?

Guys, there is the military and then there is the Air Force.

The same rules apply.

I'll let the good Colonel handle the rest...

“Oh, its an airman.”

Correction. It is an NCO.

Yeah, too bad they ended the Pacific war with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had a greater rate of attrition than the Army because of the hazardous duty of flying as bomber crews in those B-17s and such; and also won the cold war and protected your rear end by either climbing into the B-52s and B-1Bs or locking themselves into tiny concrete capsules underground to keep the ICBMs on alert and ready to launch.

I'll take a Staff Sergeant leading his maintenance troops in -30 degree F temps trying to fix a Minuteman missile than anyone else. The Air Force troops have brains and are tasked to use them to protect this country, many in climates you would shudder to be in.

They do not have to strap on a backpack and hump the field because they are assigned duties that use their knowledge and expertise to further the protection of our Country.

LOL! Yeah, the Air Force really isn’t the military so it’s basically a guy dressed like ralph cramden.

Your comment regarding the Air Force is offensive. The blood of men and women in the Air Force is just as red as those in other branches of the military. You should hang your head in shame.
