If your belief system is so weak you can't stand someone talking about theirs, it's probably time to abandon your belief system. I'm pretty much an atheist, but I have the ability to sit quietly and bow my head respectfully when the chaplain starts his invocation. I also have the ability to listen to really religious superiors make references to God in their briefings without getting bent out of shape. We take this stuff WAY to seriously. Unless your boss is giving you a worse rating for not going to the same church, or sending people who don't agree with his religion to terrible assignments, or in some way forcing the squadron to follow his religious beliefs, then let it go...like an adult.

So it's ok for someone to do their best, but only if it's not because of their religion? If someone is doing their best, why do you care about the source of their motivation?

...know who to avoid while TDY.

Someone talking about their beliefs is one thing. A commander listing his "priorities" and "rules" is another. One is personal, the other gives the impression of expectations.

They should really just take the advice of the Illinois State Police.

Not sure where my images from p2 have gone, but here are some replacements. And more...

Without the cute pink reflective belts, how else am I supposed to spot a single female walking alone at night from 400 yards away? Oh and now they're issuing "personal body alarms" to stem any sexual assault.... to women carrying guns.

"Afghan National Army Gen. Sher Mohammed Karimi, who traveled to the base with Allen, told the U.S. troops that their sacrifice is not wasted. Karimi said the Americans and Afghans together are “fighting an enemy of humanity.” Uh huh. Enemy of humanity I buy, the Afghans fighting them not so much..

Wingmen take note: this is how you leave the boom every time.

Personally, I can't wait to make general. I'll be using my first 0530 CC call to convert all of you filthy infidels. My first rule.......WWFSMD?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Our country has rapidly moved from a "Freedom OF..." country to a "Freedom FROM..." country. The one "right" people seldom talk about is their "right" to leave, walk away, move, turn the channel, etc. These arguments are often started by the same type of folks who buy a house next to an airport, then ask the airport to move because they don't like airplane noise... Humanism and Atheism are "religions" unto themselves.

A few more: Fighting MiG 29's in Laage '04 VID's are easy.... Going to RF AK '09 RF AK TStorms anyone? And can you believe it... I was a LT! Back then you had to carry some sort of porn for the boomer to get a few extra lbs when needed. I'm to young to say the good old days so... the not-so-good/not-so-old days??

Extreme?! He's lucky he didn't get an Article 15. How can the folks on the ground down range expect him to shit in his assigned stall if he can't even be trusted to make sure all the candy bar labels in the snack room are facing forward?

Just because one good turn deserves another:

I thought this Muslim commentator makes a lot of sense: Time for a Little Honesty: Sometimes Muslims Burn Qurans

If you have 18 priorities, are any of them really priorities? I think this guy needs to look up the definition of "priority" and then take a class on prioritizing.

So the company that makes air to air radars and AMRAAMs gives out an award to units that use air to air radars and AMRAAMs and it's somehow a slap in the face to everyone else? Aren't there more interesting things to bitch about?

I wonder how I managed to get along in the civilian world for almost 26 years without getting run over, and almost 10 years driving without running someone else over. It must only be for the grace of God that I made it to the Air Force where I learned about reflective belts.
