He's frantically googling trying to find out which branch of the Armed Forces commissions it's warrants. I have to admit, I find it regretable that the Air Force has fallen on such hard times as to make him "airman" material.

Do you feel them coming out of the woodwork? Here come the Bush Bashing Brigades, for whom happiness is just not possible.

We won the damn election, but here they come, knives bared, looking to punish instead of participate.

Growing up on AF bases I was taught that warrant officers were equivalent to full birds. You should see the houses they live in across the street from the officers' club at Barksdale.

The AF doesn't have W-Os because we decided some time ago we would rather build a higher-quality NCO corps.

You know damn well that a commission for a W-O isn't the same thing as an officer's commission.

Yes, the Air Force is on real tough times; that's why we have to cut 12,000 airman from our service and starting in January the Air Force will only be accepting recruits for critically-manned AFSCs.

It's the Army with the 20,000-man shortfall. It's the Army that has to rely on the so far wildly-unsuccessful "Blue to Green" program for Airmen to join the Army.
