The military man was supposed to attend PT at 11 a.m. Dec. 1, but when his superior sent a reminder 30 minutes beforehand, he responded that he was headed back home from his shopping trip to Target — and his home was 35 minutes away from his training, according to a written reprimand posted on the popular Air Force amn/nco/snoc Facebook page.
But it didn’t rattle the devoted gamer.
“Yolo, PS5 > letters of discipline,” the unnamed service member told brass, according to the letter, using slang for “you only live once.”
The flippant reply got the unnamed serviceman knocked down in rank from senior airman to airman 1st class, Task and Purpose said.

Why is this publicized?

But it is nice to know that actions are taken at least
in some cases. Also may keep someone else in line.
Bradley (Chelsea) Manning had a top secret clearance at age 21. Too young.
Were you in when Buck Sargent was a rank?
Geez.....
That was at least stupid with some flair!
Ballsy.....
I hate console games; sadly 99% of computer games anymore are ported from crappy console games :/
HL2 is better than most of the console games.... if I remember correctly, HL was started around 1998 (or so).
A complete MORON!!!!
Everyone with a sense of brains knows that ALL gaming consoles version 1.0 are buggy, overheat and will need an update when you buy them anyways....
I may get myself a PS5 but I am going to wait till they release version 1.1 or higher of the SLIM power sipping version!
A friend tells the story of a guy in his company back in 60’s who knowing they were going to bust him down a notch, stitched the lower grade underneath his current one... so that when the pulled it off the new, lower grade one was already there.
Captain said, “Huh. nice trick. Let’s see you do it again.”
I was, but you had to be in 3 years to even reach E4 (SrAmn)... then start the NCO training.
I got out in 2004 as a SrA., 4 year enlistment.
God help us.
I got out in ‘93..
It was around that time that they started eliminating Buck Sgts.
“The timing of the rebuke is also curious â it came just days after Space Force members trounced US and British military teams at a âÂÂCall of Dutyâ online gaming tournament.”
LOL!
When I graduated high school.
“At his age, the Greatest Generation was landing at Normandy and Sicily...”
I served with MEN his age who were KIA with less than a year total service. The Butcher’s Bill is heavily laden with servicemen in grades E1-E3 and O1-02.
Semper Fidelis
Does anyone think there will still be a ‘Space Force’ if Biden succeeds the Presidency??? Remember what Obama did to NASA!
I don’t know about now, but when I was in the USAF (1987-1994), a demotion basically meant and end to your career. Even as an Airman. You simply did not want to get demoted. We had Army and Marines we knew who’d lose a stripe and get it back long before we could ever get the next stripe.
I had one at 18. But when I started in 1987, faggotry was a disqualifier for service, let alone clearances.
We’re doomed.
“Bradley (Chelsea) Manning had a top secret clearance at age 21. Too young.”
There are many military “jobs” that require a top secret clearance. I had one at 18 when I went through cryptologic maintenance technician training. Just about everybody in my class was under 21.You would lose a lot of people with an age requirement for a clearance.
In the Army, if I remember correctly sometimes an E-2 was called a Buck Private (mosquito wings) and a Buck Sgt was a 3 stripe E-5...but Id never heard of it as "official"
