Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth O

Only one person holds that rank at any given time. Wanna bet he was promoted under obumber?

[TADSLOS]

Toxic Masculinity is being expunged.

The Air Force is just trying to keep up with the Marines and the Army.

Gender Neutrality Wins Wars!! *cough*

[dowcaet]

So Navy teams will be known as the Midshippeople now?

[Boogieman]

In other news, the Navy is updating its song as well: “Anchors are gay for boys, anchors are gay!”

One word. Bravo Foxtrot deal.

Whew! Finally! /s

[Responsibility2nd]

The old version went, "A toast to the host of the men we boast."

 

I guess it's better than the all inclusive...

[real saxophonist]

Well, the Marines changed MOS 5524 from Bandsman to Musician (which is actually okay), and the Army changed 42 Romeo to ‘Bandsperson’, which just sounds ridiculous.

[SkyPilot]

What about this verse?

"At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun!"

[Bogey78O]

You can’t have a host of “those we boast”. It’s grammatically clunky.

[A Navy Vet]

I don’t see a problem with that one line being changed. There are many dedicated patriotic women who have and do serve in the USAF. My concern is about women and men serving on submarines or in ground infantry combat units.

When do we dump Goldfein?

Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps.

My Buck Sargeant Army Air Corps B29 crew dad would not approve.
