Air Force goes on diversity, equity, inclusion hiring spree: Top job pays up to $183,500
Fox News ^ | March 15, 2023 2:00am EDT | Peter Kasperowicz

Posted on 03/15/2023 1:13:58 AM PDT by Olog-hai

The U.S. Air Force this month launched an effort to hire a handful of senior-level diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) managers and is hoping to place these officials in posts across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Alaska.

Each post pays at least $82,000 per year, and the top position at the Pentagon could pay more than $180,000 per year.

The Air Force declined to respond to questions for Fox News Digital about how many senior-level DEI officials work for the Air Force or how many more positions it’s looking to fill this year. But the Air Force has put out calls to hire four senior DEI officials since March 3.

The Air Force is looking for a “supervisory diversity equity inclusion and accessibility officer for Air Force headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, which will pay anywhere from $155,700 to $183,500 per year.” The person who fills this position will serve as a “first-level supervisor” who will direct employees assigned to the Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. […]

The Air Force is also looking for a “diversity and inclusion manager” to work at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. That job, which pays betweeen $94,199 to $122,459 per year, is to serve as Joint Base Installation Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. …

The DemoMarxists continue to move full steam ahead and the Repubs do absolutely nothing to stop them. Anyone pushes patriotism the left screams bloody hell and Repubs retreat to their safe spaces cowering, absolutely disgusting. These are DOMESTIC ENEMIES OF THE USA allowed to DESTROY our military!

Republicans need to remember how the military hired political commissars if/when they get control of both Congress and the Presidency and go about balancing the budget. Xiden made them do this, you say? Then the generals should go to Congress and proclaim they don’t want to spend taxpayer money on commissars instead of troops and weapons!

My theory is that the services lose 1,000 potential recruits for each DIE hire.

I’m glad you used the term “commisar “. Because that’s what this is folks. Nothing but a communist takeover that’s almost complete.

One upside of the large wave of Tech firings. Is that lots of the un-needed DIE frauds got the boot. For cost savings of course. These were always BS virtue signaling jobs anyways. Only useless eaters need apply for them.

DIE jobs meant your black studies degree panned out. Though white women and white lesbians filled many of them (DIE).

Mid 70’s. We had equal opportunity NCO’s and Officers. The army had a ‘Race Relations Specialist’ as an MOS. The feeling was that the chain of command for complaints didn’t work. That was 50 years ago.

It’s like the government. Keeps getting bigger. Gotta nip it in the bud-too late.

Added to the list of the nature of the progressive USS (United States of Sodom) with its Wokeducation goals and in which an increasingly "Wokelitary" is called to defend:

The Marine Corps was tasked with explaining its short- and long-term plans for integrating recruit training, which was mandated by the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. Signed into law in December, 2020. “Gender integration at Marine Corps Recruit Training remains a top priority." “The outcome the Marine Corps desires for gender integration is for every male recruit to train alongside a female recruit within the same company.”” All-male recruit companies trained solely by men will be made “obsolete,”

The Blaze, December 22, 2022: Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am/mater’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors The University of Pittsburgh received $2 million to conduct the study, which examined gender-integrated recruit training in military settings. "The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment," the report claimed. Marine Corps leaders are reportedly not convinced that transitioning to gender-neutral salutations would be as simple as the 739-page report suggests.

Countering this is the news of, The Pentagon Forming a Diversity and Inclusion Office, and

allowing transgenders to serve in the military,

and with the Pentagon even ensuring free gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel,

with Army mandatory training now including training Army personnel to know what to do in such scenarios as when a soldier who was "assigned" a biological gender at birth says he/she identifies as another gender, and lives as such in off-duty hours, but is not requesting to be treated as such while on duty, versus if such later requests to be identified as according to their chosen gender during duty hours, and/or experiences increased distress relating to his/her gender identity;

while apparently as part of the Naval Sea Systems Command Inclusion & Engagement Council’s Diversity Team's video series called “NAVSpEAks,” the Navy posts video on "the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone's pronouns"

and the Air Force being with WOKEism in creating 'LGBTQ' and 'Indigenous Nations Equality' Focus Groups,

and also authorizing the use of gender pronouns in signature blocks,

and hosting a drag show at festival at Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) on July, 2022, which also includes a poem on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,”

followed by an effort to hire a handful of senior-level diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) managers and is hoping to place these officials in posts across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Alaska. Each post pays at least $82,000 per year, and the top position at the Pentagon could pay more than $180,000 per year,

while the Army arms itself with a woke recruitment ad featuring lesbians at a gay wedding and an LGBTQ pride march,

and the CIA funds a 'cisgender millennial with anxiety disorder' campaign, and with the

Marines and Navy as well as the Air Force and Army posting messages on social media supporting gay pride and Pride Month,

with the former posting rainbow bullets, and the latter a rainbow colored arm and hand in salute (essentially to the flag of Sodom)

and with the Navy naming a military ship after gay rights leader Harvey Milk, and (now) with a transgender veteran christening it,

along with the Navy's first all gay U.S. Navy helicopter crew,

and with physical fitness assessment failures being now scrubbed from sailors’ records, a clean slate that will allow them to remain in the service,

and lower fitness standards for women in the Army,

while nearly half of female soldiers are still failing the new Army Fitness Test,

and with military generals calling for Increased Diversity and More Women in Combat,

and changing its song to be gender-neutral,

and Forcing Marines to Make Boot Camp Coed,

and feeding cadets cultural Marxist propaganda about gender and masculinity therein,

to its new diversity and inclusion operation from West Point

and for its Special Operations Command ,

while showing a rapid response readiness to engage in online combat with the likes of Tucker Carson and other such enemies

thus nuking Jesus-themed candies on an Air Force bases

as well as the Pentagon ordering a company to stop making faith-based Dog Tags,

and prohibiting service members from “liking” or reposting "extremist" views on social media (depending on all the circumstances involved) as part of its prohibition against actively engaging in extremist activities,

yet allowing turbans and hijabs in the Air Force,

while working to rid the military of “extremism

such as the head of the US Space Force unit being fired and put under investigation for criticizing Critical Race Theory

And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6)

Also, last I saw, More Than 75% Of Americans Aged 17-24 Aren’t Fit For Military Service: (DOD) 77% of Americans in the above age group could not physically qualify to enter the armed forces – a 6% increase from 2017..CDC statistics also show that 19 percent of active-duty service members suffered from obesity in 2020, which is up from 16 percent in 2015. A U.S. Army general bluntly said that young Americans are either too obese, too sick, or too criminal to serve in the military. we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use,” Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington.

And the Army dropped grenade throwing as a requirement to graduate because new recruits could not throw far enough. “We are finding that there are a large number of trainees that come in that quite frankly just physically don’t have the capacity to throw a hand grenade 20 to 25 [82 feet] to 30 meters." Also, there is the Intellectual Decline of the Army Officer Corps. The size of the U.S. military in 2017 was half of what it was in 1990, and in general I think many signed up for the benefits rather than patriotism. 16% were women and racial and ethnic minorities made up 43%, and a poll from the Military Times and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families conducted in July 2020, 49.9 percent of 1,018 active-duty military respondents had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. That poll showed Biden with a 4-percentage-point lead over Trump

“Air Force goes on diversity, equity, inclusion hiring spree: Top job pays up to $183,500”

IDIOT PUTIN builds hypersonic missiles and artillery shells, while we IMPROVE our military, spending money this way. Russia doesn’t have a chance against us, or China.

So, TAKE THAT, PUTIN!!!

The nice thing?

The Air Force is going to do all their recruiting at expensive private schools where the children of ‘white liberal elites’ are educated.

. They’ll be starting with Washington DC’s private schools and elite colleges. Then on to the ‘best’ national universities and to Martha’s Vineyard.... They’re sure those folks will be happy to die for their country... /s

It is painful to see the Air Force my dad and I both served for nearly 60 years total being ruined by this crap. I saw it happening early on with the establishment of Social Actions and EEO investigations led by utterly unqualified people - all of whom were minorities - and the DIE banner being carried by white senior officers who were more concerned with virtue signaling than with making sure we could kill people and break their stuff when the nation was under threat. I am disgusted and heartbroken.
