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."

What about radar techs having the Gaydar patch?

Or flight suits that say MAGA?

Or flight suits that have a picture of President Trump on the back with God Bless America?

It looks like the Obama General Staff has taken over with the demoralization of the U.S. Air Force.

The Air Force needs to spend less time socializing its Airman and more time training to Improve its mission maintain air superiority and global strike activities.

We can’t allow our potential enemies to get on top of us because our generals were more interested in placating the leftist lunatics coming into power.

Diversity is not complete until the AF is all black women.

What a disgrace the AF and we have become.

They can’t even fight a war now.

1st img is how the Democrats will use the icon on Americans.

How, exactly does this enable one to attain victory in the aerial battlespace?

Well, AF, so what can you say? OTOH, my old squadron VMFA-122 Crusaders, with a the crusader sword/cross emblem was forced to change some years after I moved on. So, even the Marine Corps is a target for the leftist agenda and PC.

are pink flamingos non-inclusive?
chickens with 50 cals? a bit harsh?
how about clenched fists? offensive?
maybe lightening bolts and arrows? too scary?
so death angels are probably out?
no angry eagles then? or divebombing swallows?
not even hammers?
flags?
names?

we’re going to need a handbook

I actually said this at an AF training meeting recently to a young SSgt conducting our annual EEO training. It was on a video conference with the entire wing. You. Could have heard a pin drop. She looked like she was going to throw up. Guess she never heard of SAC.

We had a SAC patch that instead of thunderbolts in the fist there was a set of testicles. I guess that isn’t appropriate anymore...USAF 1973-1983...

Not this PC shit again. Seems that the AF wants to be the leader in PCness. So much for the “high flight” mentality.

Now it is self-immolation by stupidity.

Gee, no more “drill sergeants”. Sounds to sexual
No more “saluting”. It will level everyone in the AF to the same status/stature.
No more “winning” because you would have to hurt the enemy. Now it will be “let’s be friends” and only wound each other.

“High Flight” will be the new theme of the AF’s Commissaries brand of marijuana.

Airmen will only be allowed in old Buck Rogers movies.

Under Obama we had the Secy of Navy Mabus as the leader of the “Queens Navy”. Now we will have the Air Force as the “Air Farce”, and soon they will change the Coast Guard slogan from “Semper Paratus” (Always prepared) to “Non Semper Paratus” (Never Prepared).

The Army will soon be known as the “Body Extensions for Handling Things” Department.

Biden and his fools will make the Marx Brothers seems like military geniuses.

Nice to meet you sir.

I gave them 7 active and 13 reserve. Retired New Years Day 1984. America was still America then. It’s unfathomable what’s happened to the military and the country in general. Very confusing and uncertain future. Hunker down time.

O-4 here.
