Occupy Democrats

I pity you if you think that either has anything to do with this.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Well not so much Trump BUT it would be interesting to ask the General how much Ronald Reagan played a role in influencing him to set a goal for the USAF Academy. After all, it is a political sponsorship like the other academies by your Senator................And your just mad because I brought it up.

SPC Erich Guenther - He likley would have made that decision before Reagan took office though Reagan might have had some influence, but for practical purposes if could have been Carter that influenced him. I just do not think that we can pretend to know who or what influenced him so nobody should be given credit at l all. For example I knew some good officers who entered while Nixon was President, despite him being President.

The Zoomies will get past this hiccup, LTC Stephen F.. No doubt.

This is POSITIVE attention, a motivator to join, at least for anyone that you would want to join. The AF needed attention like thsi,

It is not like the imbecility with the oath of enlistment, this is a senior officer doing the right thing very publicly.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - what do you mean when you state "the imbecility with the oath of enlistment."
People are appointed to the United States Air Force Academy like each of the other service academies. Cadet candidates are ordered to the service academy preparatory schools were they compete against themselves primarily for appointment to the respective academy.
My background includes enlisting in 1974, USMA Preparatory School (USMAPS) 1976, and USMA 1980.

If you remember not that long ago the AF decided to ignore the Constion and say the "so help me god" at the end of the outh. The other Services b said basically "he'll know" and after a couple of weeks of obstinate idiotic theocratic BS. The Air Force backed down. I guess they finally and grydginly figured out what the term "no religious test " means.
