Pentagon Deploys ‘May I Kiss You?’ Training

An issue that could “dramatically affect” the mission of the United States Armed Forces is telling soldiers when it is okay to kiss a girl.

The Air Force is the latest branch to employ the services of Mike Domitrz, a speaker and author known for his “May I Kiss You?” training session, to teach servicemembers about consent and sexual assault prevention.

On Thursday the Air Force awarded Domitrz’s company, the Date Safe Project, $10,000 for three training sessions.

Domitrz’s 60 to 90 minute sessions offer a “unique combination of humor and dramatic story telling,” the Air Force said in an attachment detailing the contract terms.

“The ‘May I Kiss You’ presentation minimizes defensiveness and promotes an open discussion of an often silent topic,” the Air Force said.

Each “May I Kiss You?” session covers three major areas: asking before a person engages in intimacy with their partner, how to intervene if they see alcohol used to facilitate sexual assault, and how to support a survivor should they confide in the audience member that they have been affected by a sexual assault.

The United States Air Force has become nothing more than an episode of “Glee”.

They know, and are laughing their a$$es off.

This is the most our nation has ever been laughed at, hated and distrusted since birth. Most people don’t know it or care if they did.

It all seems like a nightmare.

Here’s a hint....if the economy ever get out of Zero’s outhouse, the military will find the recruiting offices EMPTY.

My sister lives about a mile from the runway of an Ar Force base which,among other things,maintains the C-5.Those mothers are flying about 500 feet above her house on a daily basis and fighter jets overhead are common as well.I doubt that your statement is *entirely* accurate.

Been on an AF base lately?...I have, and my assessment is sadly spot on..truly pathetic compared to the old days when real men, not sissy’s led the Air Force.

They don’t. As a result, some have suggested they should be castrated when opportunity or else arises! Ouch!

They should get Joe Namath to do the training.

Near one? Yes.On one? Nope.But the Blue Angels are coming next month to the base I mentioned and I'll be there.I'll ask any AF personnel I come across if they're sissies.

But seriously...I hear what you're saying.It looks like Obola has had substantial success in destroying the Armed Forces for which he has such open contempt.But I don't think he's been *completely* successful.Not yet,at least.

The Blue Angels are US Navy.

And one of 'em is female.

Political correctness run amok instead of training to kill savages more effectively.

Yup,I know.You'd expect the Thunderbirds,not the Blue Angels,to appear there.At least *this* old Army guy would.

And one of 'em is female.

Yup,I read that here on FR just recently.Someone quipped in that thread that Allstate would give her a check for every 6 months she remained accident free.A truly classic post IMO.

And not used as much as they should be! I remember turning in my health records when I landed on Okinawa back in 1968.

The first thing I saw was a long line of sad faced GIs waiting outside a doctor’s office. Suddenly I realized that was the VD line!

True story: Back then a typhoon hit Guam and the USAF sent their planes to Okinawa with ground crews. They all hit Koza City that night.

Two weeks later I am in Guam and go to turn in my medical records only to be greeted with a very long line of sad faced ground crews who had just returned from Okinawa.

Sexual assault of any kind is & has always been primarily about asserting *Power*...

That was true so long as the phrase "sexual assault" had its proper English denotation, reflected in many laws on the subject. Unfortunately the phrase is now Newspeak and includes not only what is properly called sexual assault and/or rape in English, but also the stolen kiss of romantic poetry (not about power, but about hopeless longing), misreading cues in a make-out session and doing something the woman takes offense at even if one stops when she objects (about lust not power), and having sex with a woman who took a bit of "Dutch courage" to lessen her inhibitions if she happens to regret it later (likewise).
