The Trump administration celebrated the first birthday of the U.S. Space Force on Friday by announcing that its members will be known as “guardians.”
Vice President Mike Pence made the announcement at a celebratory event tracing the development of the newest branch of the military over the past year.
“It is my honor, on behalf of the president of the United States, to announce that henceforth the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as guardians,” Pence said. “Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians will be defending our nation for generations to come.”

A trash panda?
““Starship Troopers””
OH, THAT’s Very Good.
I like it. Guardians of planet earth.
That’s what America is already...er, was with Trump.
Personally, I’m fine with this monicker. Now, it will remain to be seen if they live up to it. This from a 26-year military retiree.
There’s already a report of one who cannot. A Senior Airman missed a required PT because he was in-line at a store for a newly released video game. He has subsequently been reduced a rank for the transgression.
And, what was the response for that reduction in rank? He posted “worth it” on social media. That person needs to be dishonorably discharged for blatant insubordination.
E-1 "Technician Apprentice"
E-2 "Technician"
E-3 "Technician First Class"
E-4 "Senior Technician"
Keep the ranks the same for NCOs
E-5 "Staff Sergeant"
E-6 "Technical Sergeant"
For SNOCs
E-7 "Journeyman Sergeant"
E-8 "Senior Journeyman Sergeant"
E-9 "Chief Journeyman Sergeant"
For a higher rank structure or vocation, you could have "Astro-Specialist"
Well, if Air Force are called Airmen, maybe Space Force should be called Spacemen. As a former space systems specialist for the USAF, I liked being called a spaceman. It is what I called them when I was a kid and I was proud to be
called one.
Good grief...not a single one of you get it....
“Guardian’s of the Constitution”
We live in historic times.
Miniskirts and Big Wigs for the ladies, and testosterone for the men.
this just got a little gay
Meanwhile we citizens will from this point forward be known as “wards”, as in “wards of the totalitarian globalists”.
This has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a while. Is everyone in government completely tone-deaf?
Is there a raccoon involved?
LOL.
Could call them Legionnaires:
A good series, some of the books are hit or miss as several authors are involved. The first one was a heck of a ride.
KTF!
The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire.
A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.
So will they train a raccoon in the use of firearms?
