The U.S. Air Force is changing its song to be gender-neutral as the service grows more diverse and adds more women across its ranks.
Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein made the announcement Thursday during the Air Warfare Symposium in Florida, alongside Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright.
Goldfein said the change applies to the third verse of the U.S. Air Force Song, sometimes known as "Wild Blue Yonder," which is traditionally sung at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and often performed independently of the other verses.
~~~SNIP~~~
Verse III is now:Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of those we boast, the U.S. Air Force!
The old version went, "A toast to the host of the men we boast."

Looks like I lost that bet.
I had (at least was paid) to attend a 3-hour class on this horseclinton.
It was very disturbing, fortunately at the end of the day, but went home feeling dirty and not wanting to do anything for a couple hours afterwards.
Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps.
My Buck Sargeant Army Air Corps B29 crew dad would not approve.
25+ years and never gave a $hit about that song.. Did anyone else actually care? Doubt it...
Let me guess.
The broads in your HR department want all employees to be all inclusive and intersectionally aware.
Nuts! Just expletive expletive expletive expletive nuts!!
Thank Obongo he forced the warriors out and replaced them with Nancy boys.
He was promoted February of 2017.
INTERROGATOR: Tell us where they took our downed pilot!
JIHADI: Never! I'll never tell!
INTERROGATOR: Okay. You want to do it the hard way. (shouts down hallway) "GET 'ENLISTED JESUS' IN HERE!"
JIHADI: NO! NO! EVEN WITH ENLISTED JESUS I WILL NOT TALK!"
ENLISTED JESUS: Well, Ok. Here. (Picks up a Sickle Scaler, examines it, and puts it back down...mutters to himself) No. Not yet. (holds up a pair of cotton forceps, swings them from side to side while observing the Jihadi's reactions, then says quietly) We can use these for other things. Ahhh. (Picks up a Hollenback Carver, and his face assumes an evil knowing grin as he holds it in the field of view of the patient and speaks quietly) This will do. (Jihadi's face pales and breaks out in a cold sweat as Enlisted Jesus closes door)
JIHADI: (muffled screams heard from down the hall) NO! NO! NOT THAT! NO! NOT THE HOLLENBACK CARVER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not “MY” old USAF.
Airpersons. LOL!
I went to that page. I have a request......could we please replace the NON-COMBATANT Bronze Star? It always just says Bronze Star. There is a JAG running in NC that touts his Bronze Star, which he received for organizing the courts in Iraq. I’m sure these types of people are giving their best in service, but non-combatant medals shouldn’t be on par with medals received for meritorious service on the battlefield. Rant over.
It is like Mayor Pete’s ads that tout his being ‘outside the wire’ when he was only ‘outside the wire’ to drive someone somewhere.
It should be renamed ‘star’ without the ‘bronze’ modifier..............
It's been eatin' on my azz for a couple years now!
