I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I retired 20 years ago. Feel very badly for people still on AD who have to deal with this woke s**t on a daily basis.
Prayers up for them!
I retired in 1988. I wouldn’t do it again.
Primary mission was air base defense, at Hahn, Bitburg, and Spangdahlem.
I saw the havoc it wreaked when they force fed women into remote Nike-Hercules batteries, before the site was upgraded for women. Imagine telling Sergeants they had to move back on site, because the facilities weren't suitable for women.
LOL, it affected the air base I was on, as they had the first woman to serve as Base Commander.
During the first tac eval after her promotion, it was business as usual. When an NBC input was announced, I was called to the Eagles Nest to advise the Wing Cdr (why I, an Army 2LT was called for that is another story, from a year previous).
After I gave my "flawless" (LOL) recommendation, I returned to my station. I overhead the Base Cdr question the Wing Cdr, "why is that Army LT involved, we have a Base Disaster Preparedness Officer for those situations."
The Wing Cdr proceeded to rip into her for a couple of minutes, reminding her that he was the Wing Commander. She was gone within 12 months.
