The Air Force Academy class of 2015 is the first to come through four years at the academy with the open acceptance of gays and lesbians in the ranks.
Tricia Heller, a 1987 graduate, and Tara Sweeney, a '95 grad, attended the ceremony to support Lydia Hill of Boston.
Heller and Sweeney helped found Spectrum, the Air Force Academy gay and lesbian support group, of which Hill was one of the first members.
"We all served under 'don't ask, don't tell,' so it was important for all of us to be able to be open about who we are," said Heller, a board member of the Blue Alliance, a support group for cadets. "For us, it's been awesome to watch cadets like Lydia be able to serve openly."

The Honor Codes at all the federal service academies were not written to include what would have been in their time, and thus remain, dishonorable acts. Thus the entire academy system has been compromised, along with the rest of the military forces in their stead.
By 1979, the USAF no longer segregated them from the other troops being separated from the service. One of our flight badly injured his knee in boot camp and was being put out.

I’m aware of that. Today, however, is a different time and a totally different context.
A friend who was in the Navy - twice - told us years ago that when serving in WWII in Hawaii, there were 2 Homos in the barracks ‘going at it’ and there was nothing to be done - even tho the men had a range of discomfort - no KIDDing - -
Friend would not say much - -
>>how you see yourself is centered around one sex act?
Sex was selected by nature because it increases fitness of species by genetic exchange.
What homosexual activists like Sweeney, Hiller, Hill and Co. are doing isn’t Sex - it’s just the reprobate worship of mutual masturbation, and a perversion of nature.
The military homo briefings claims that all male on male rape is committed by heterosexual men.
Don’t worry, I know that, and by their absurd stereotyping, they are letting (&(@($ out of their mouths.
