Modern AF PT standards can be rough on the older crowd. Its designed to the weed out the 40+ crowd.

They not teach in the Air Force not to lock your knees when standing for long periods of time?

They did, but we still had someone do a face plant on the parade grounds from time to time.

Actually, he did not lock his knees.

He was not at attention.

He was in a casual stance at the podium when a combination of events happened; heat, hadn’t eaten, low blood pressure, and things just came together.

His “aide” looks suspiciously like a butch lesbian or a tranny (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).

My God, what’s our military come to under Obama?

Sailors who surrender to the Iranians and cry.

Now a 2-star general faints in public!

We used to be made of sterner stuff.

Too much time in those fundamentally transformed flight simulators.

Lock you knees standing still and you are going to the pavement. One of the first things recruits learn at basic.

He also might have had blood/sugar problems.

He tried to pick up the budget off the table.

Probably got to the budget line item for the latest cost estimate for the problem plagued F-35.

I would faint too if I had to waste the taxpayer money on Green Shiite, rather than war making, like our generals are being forced to do...

Major General James Martin Jr., fainted at the podium as he was discussing the Air Force budget.

...and the jokes pretty much write themselves.
