May the Space Force be with you.

Will there be a Space Academy, with “Space Cadets?”

[Sequoyah101]

This is dumb and a wasteful expansion of gooberment.

It is merely a USAF job and that is all that is necessary.

Who commands SG-1?

"In fact Raymond is himself a commander of both the Air Force Space Command and the U.S. Space Command, possibly signaling that these agencies will be working very closely and consisting of many of the same members."

I hate redundancy. DOD should think about melding Air Force Space Command with U.S Space Command once the new command is situated. Let the Air Force continue it's basic mission, and the Space Command its mission, with close cooperation between each.

John “Jay” Raymond

You can call him John,
or you can call him Jay,
but you doesn’t have to call him Raymond.

“The Space Force will be comprised of roughly 16,000 officers and other personnel from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Command. In fact Raymond is himself a commander of both the Air Force Space Command and the U.S. Space Command, possibly signaling that these agencies will be working very closely and consisting of many of the same members.”

I didn’t think adding a new bureaucracy to the government was a good idea. Now that it’s a done deal, why not just consolidate the Air Force Space Command and the US Space Command with the new Space Force?

Too bad his name isn’t “Buck”. General Buck Rodgers.

Our space commander

[Slingwing]

Wouldn’t you know it. A wingnut took the first position. Already the new DoD branch is setting up for another sham like the Scare Force. Speaking from experience here. Scare Force will tell you how good they are and cut and run when they are needed. I have been personally left high and dry multiple times. The Scare Force needs to be placed under direct control of the Army. As with all services and branched within they serve one purpose, To support the boots. Nothing more and nothing less. You cannot win wars by bombing them to oblivion. It takes those boots to place the sold sign.

Gen. John “Jay” Raymond
You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay or you can call be Ray Jay or JR but you don't have to call me Raymond. But I bet he'll be called Ray Gun.

Trump is expected to hold a meeting with Pentagon officials this week to discuss uniform and logo details for the new agency.

I sincerely hope that they don't return to McPeak's starship command uniforms.

Interesrting post and thread. Thanks.

Phasers on stun...

[SgtHooper]

And absolutely no Allie A. Kbars are allowed to be hired!!

[eyedigress]

Is this on the same level as a “Hap” Arnold?

[The Great RJ]

I’m all for Star Trek style uniforms

[immadashell]

Where does NASA fall in all of this?
