Computer games are worth dying for these days.

Well then!!
Got a demotion over PS5.
Could be a PS addict.
Better than porn :)

Many other long-standing military practices and regulations have been relaxed in recent decades, so why not this one?

Why is this publicized?
Why does any military branch publicize this or even have a FaceBook page?

The guy is a real spaceman!
To: BenLurkin
He probably wants to sell it for $500 more.
What an idiot. He should be discharged.

Airhead is up for a period of instruction in “creative non-judicial punishment”, if not a peer level thump session.

when his superior sent a reminder 30 minutes beforehand,
having to send reminders tells us?

At his age, the Greatest Generation was landing at Normandy and Sicily, fighting with real guns, real bullets. They weren't playing with children's toys like this stunted lad.

They would disagree. It is their whole life. Some of them play their game 24/7 for days without little breaks. It is indeed a new world. LOL.

Correction: without with little breaks
To: BenLurkin
These are the very first Space Force recruits.
Now you know.

I have to admit I was guilty of that once upon a time, but the garbage they put out today isn't worth it. AAA gaming peaked over a decade ago and it isn't ever going to be what it once was.
I can't even fathom a release in the past 10 years that I would waste an entire day over, let alone risk disciplinary action in the military.

Senior airman. When i was in the AF one could be an NCO within 18 months. Something ‘had to be done’ because teenage NCO’s like me had bad attitudes. Didn’t deserve the respect. I was against the change but in hindsight it might have been better,
