I have fond memories of the Tennessee Army National Guard shooting at my guys, not once, but twice. This was after the CO and his #2 were briefed showing pics and location of my guys. After the 2nd time I submitted a blue on blue above them (they were operating as a BCT in my area).
An A-Team got ambushed and it took their QRF almost 8 hours to get their with their Bradleys, et al. What a pitiful organization I thought that was. That has been some years past, hopefully they are not as much a soup sandwich now as they were then. Looks like they've passed it on to their Air counterparts.

It's way past time to re-integrate the AF back into the Army. They have no strategic mission any longer (except ICBMs in holes) and exist to support the ground troops. Their basic training and expenditures need to be dictated by the ones who depend on them.

If you look at the bottom of that AF Times page, the AF relieved several other O-5 and O-6 Commanders as well.
Wow, they might want to relook their assessment and selection process for Command billets.

I think the ICBMs belong to STRATCOM, along with the bombers and Navy boomers, and is either AF or Navy commanded. I believe that AMC is the AF billet.

Isn't that like the old MATS?

Wait...what?....Are you telling me that the puppet's oath then isn't binding? I knew that MF'er was lying. I bet he wasn't a fighter pilot either.

I've said this before in other places - go back and watch the video again:
Forget (if you can) that the pudgy enlisted person is swearing the oath while playing with a dinosaur puppet...
Look closer at the field grade officer reading that oath like 0bama following a teleprompter. Look at the field grade officers right arm hanging like he is Ricky Bobby wondering what to do with his hands. Look at that field grade officer openly exhibiting the fact that to him, this event is both entertaining and informal.
Look back into your memory - and think of the first time you reenlisted.
I was sincerely surprised that my company commander not only held up his right hand when he administered my oath, but he fucking recited it from memory.
...one of my team leaders once did the same thing
Right hand raised, reciting the oath from memory so I could literally repeat my oath after him.
Both times I was humbled that my leaders could recite MY oath from memory (their oath is different) and they did it with a smile and they both thanked me for asking them to reenlist me.....
These two turds are amateurs that have built careers out of being rookies in uniform.

The military will be much stronger when all of the Obama puppets are forced out.
It appears the TN AG has some leadership that values honor and tradition above diversity, comedy and political correctness.

Duh, now why would you even think about playing with a bloody dinosaur hand puppet as an adult in the first place? Maybe she has some freaky fetish for extinct species or something. And why would you ever think it was OK to reenlist, swearing an oath to your Country with your hand up Dino’s Ass?
That's just wrong.....and a bit weird......

Air Force, "Civilians in Uniform"
There's a reason we've called them that for decades.

What a travesty that is......He should have been demoted further down the line...say, 2ndLt as that's about the level of intelligence displayed here.
A senior NCO taped this.
My wife once noted that she enjoyed working at Luke AFB. after I retired...she did a stint as a Pharmacist there.....she said tho' "It is a military base and I like that but something is missing".

"Yeah, that's it, no paratroopers" she responded.
