Commanders have until Feb. 21 to review their units' emblems, morale patches, mottos, nicknames, coins and other heraldry and insignia and remove any that are racist, sexist or derogatory, the Air Force announced Tuesday.

Starting at the squadron level and moving up, commanders must abolish symbols that are derogatory "to any race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, age or disability status to ensure an inclusive and professional environment," according to a memo from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett and Gen. John "Jay" Raymond, head of the Space Force.

"It is critical for the Department of the Air Force to embody an environment of dignity, respect and inclusivity for all airmen and guardians," the memo states, according to a service release. "Our core values demand we hold ourselves to high standards and maintain a culture of respect and trust in our chain of command."

one of our patches read
“maximum interference.....minimum support”
it was the unit above us whos insignia we used, with a circle and slash thru it. MOFO’s would just get in the way of everything good that we were doing.... just like a bunch of deepstater pos’s...
When I was in Iraq in 03-04, ya 1 yearish.... “I got shot at and missed and shit at and hit” The Col’s (o-5 and 6’s), sometimes Majors, didn’t know shit about tactics, and a combat environment...
So get this... We were deployed to an AF base, we made some friends with the AF personal... then they went home... and... thenthey came back for their next “tour”.. and we were still there... lol... it was funny... then they went home again.! lol

Errr No!..cant have yellow white black or red smileys... those colors are racist....I'm surprised the common “yellow smiley” has not been banned the world over...But now that the chinese will be running the world it will be...

or then again... maybe it will be the only color smiley that will be allowed.... to show its dominance over the rest of us....

Funny times these......

How did these losers come to their positions?

Better question is how did they remain there after four years of President Trump?

My 1st ship was Nimitz and the patch was ‘Teamwork - A Tradition’. Knew it would be a long three years when I saw O5 Dept heads with a slightly changed patch - ‘Reamwork - A Tradition’.

The revised one was more accurate.

30 years in, retired 5 years ago and the slope just keeps getting slipperier. A lot of my “kids” are demoralized by all this crap. And what is this “guardians” sh1t? Talk about arrogance!

“Chair Force pukes.”

Don’t think for a second other branches aren’t going this route either.

“Meanwhile, the Chi-Coms are laughing at us.”

No kidding. Actually I bet most of the world is laughing at us. Letting a fraudulent election pass by as though it were an everyday thing. Putting a gag order on our own President. And putting into office a senior citizen with dementia.

For crying out loud, this is the makings of a good sitcom.

The sad truth is, we are a banana republic.
