The Air Force announced a new set of 13 inclusion initiatives Friday with the goal of ensuring the force isn’t as white, male and heterosexual as it is now.
Air Force officials are intent on building upon a foundation of nine initiatives from 2015, in order to boost diversity.
Those nine initiatives weren’t enough to make the Air Force as diverse as desired, which is why it is taking more intensive steps in 2016.
The first new initiative mandates that at least one diverse candidate will have to be in the running for important developmental positions like aide-de camp, senior enlisted advisor and executive officer, among other roles.

Ditto - but I also sometimes wish i was still in uniform because of the war on quality and patriotism as they transition to a full-blown social experiment....Retired in '98 and then spent 15 years as a DOD civilian before really retiring in 2014.
I weep for what the military is becoming.
“Diversity” = lefist/socialist infiltration tactic.
The progressives know that if they tried to take over, that the military wouldn’t be on their side, so they have to subvert it from within.
Hence all of the insane changes being foisted upon the troops, and all of it is coming down straight from the POSOTUS.
WTH? So glad I am retired...
I had a friend/acquaintance once whose job it was to recruit minority math and science professors for a well known university.
As tough as his job was it was easier than *his* friend’s job who worked at a lesser known university.
The Witches of DACOWITS have struck once more.
But what if no “diverse” candidate wants to run? And what if they run and lose? Will the vote be declared null and void?
I think that you answered your own question.
Uh ...
Diversity quotas WILL add to the dumbing down of the force. That's the intent. These anti-American bastards know what they're doing.
So if I were still in the Air Force, I would improve my chances of promotion by claiming (note that the claim does not have to be true) that I am a transgendered bisexual person of Hispanic-Asian-African lineage?
Diversity and tokens don’t lower the standards.
Posted before the obvious /s above.
You, too? I thought I was the only one.
Merit? Merit?
We don’t care about no stinkin merit!!!!

It is actually worse, for the barbarian Left rejects the self-evident truth “that all men are created equal.” They elevate their nostrums above the Laws of Nature and Nature's God.
Gulags follow when men set themselves above God's laws.
F*ck national security - we’re all about obama’s social experiments.
This is a triumph for Pentagon chair polishers who plan to go into politics.
Even if this causes us to lose every single war, at least we’re “diverse.”
