I’ve spent a lot of time with the Army of the United States, not to mention the Navy, but this is, I think, the first time I’ve been shoulder-to-shoulder with the Air Force in large numbers.
Allow me to state, in the most professional terms I can muster, that the US Air Force has enlisted and commissioned a, uhhh, very high quality of young American. And they, uhhh, present a most striking appearance in uniform. All in the strictly professional sense of course. Yes, well. Ahem!
So if you pass a stall in the men’s room one day, see a pair of USMC boots under the door and hear someone whistling “Wild Blue Yonder,” it might be someone you know.
(And all kidding aside, they’re all doing a damn fine job out here on the pointy end of the spear, in a host of assignments and missions.)
see, who says we don’t bring anything to the fight??
btw — quickest way to get promoted in the USAF? Be hot. Be a female.
Smile alot, do a mediocre job, and you’re destined for colonel!
Apropos of nothing – Semper fi for William Dillman, Marine, died September 1, 2009, flamethrower operator in Korea.
We bought his house 4 years ago, didn’t know he was a Marine until afterwards, or we might have gone a little easier on that septic tank inspection!
Join the air force, its almost like joining the real military but with better food, and shorter rotations down range.

What part of the AF did you spend time with? I doubt you were out on the flightline or hanging iron.
