Sorry to be a bit sappy on a Friday, but for those that question the newer generations and the future of this country I present the following...maybe there is hope.

Yep, you can't detect sarcasm if it stamped a mushroom on your forehead.

I think that chapter needs to raise some money for Snyder's family, repaint the rock, and do some community service for some disabled veterans.

Dude, check your fire. These dudes took full responsibility and apologized right away. Sure, they need to follow up their words with actions and should have to suffer some kind of punishment, but calling them faggots, shutting down their chapter, sending them to Afg as some kind of punishment for painting over a rock? Looks like you're the one who needs to grow up...

Good thing ACC still has the MC-12 demo team!

"To: Sgt. Devin A Snyder and her family; community members; Alfred State College "From the active brothers of Kappa Sigma Epsilon Fraternity, we are deeply sorry. In a brief moment of self-gratification, we thought of no one else but ourselves, and for that we were wrong. Our actions and lack of empathy have caused the family of Sgt. Devin A Snyder (A fallen solider from Cohocton, NY) additional unnecessary grief, as well as the local communities and Alfred State College. We take full responsibility for our actions and we will do what we can to right the wrong, and return a sense of appreciation back to Sgt. Devin Snyder’s name and family. As an organization with alumni that represent active and retired veterans in all branches of the United States military service, our actions have dishonored all of their sacrifices and the memory of Sgt. Devin A Snyder. We are sorry to have jeopardized our evolving reputation among our community, our school and our peers." Our deepest apologies, The active brothers of Kappa Sigma Epsilon" Kids do dumb crap all of the time. The difference here seems that this group is owning up to their mistake. Let's hope they follow through and do the right thing.

The 335 FS/CC is Frank Caliendo?

No different than this... Give 'em credit for overcoming a physical handicap, I see wounded warriors here at Ft Sam all the time who've done the same. It is a true test of character for those who don't like a disability stop them from doing things they love... Cheers! M2

They definitely need to repaint the rock. I'm not sure how money makes up for their insult other than being expedient, but serving those who served the nation (i.e. community service for some DVs) would go a long way in showing their contriteness.

The Mayans must on to something regarding the end of the world -- I agree with nsplayer on something. Stupid, mostly likely hammered, college students doing something selfish and not thinking about what they were doing. I'm shocked. Other than poor taste and not having a clue, what crime did they perform? They painted a rock that is often painted. The Sgt's volunteering to serve and, unfortunately, her ultimate sacrifice is obviously worth more than earning frat cool points, but they expressed themselves. I rather think that's one of the liberties that military service upholds. And this frat recognized they fcuked up and publicly apologized. That's better than some of those in our government have done when denigrating our military folks. Murtha, et al.

Nice. Have they got the aileron roll down yet, or just sticking with the barrel roll?

Nice scarf!

I live off base but the anthem is audible in my neighborhood depending on the wind. A couple weeks ago I was out with my 4 year old and a couple of the neighbor kids when we heard a few notes. All of the kids (all military) stopped what they were doing and faced the music and stood tall. Then the other day, we were driving on to the base as the music started. My boy called out from the back seat "Dad you have to put your hand over your heart" (his mom taught him that). I looked back to se him concentrating on the music with his hand over his heart. Made me proud.

Second from left, in the back, with her face kind of hidden.

Don't worry, 69 people got great OPR bullets for implementing it, another 69 will get bullets for going back to the old system.

digital media's a bitch.... I think my dad still has an ear from vietnam but he didnt pose with it on facebook when he removed it with his ka-bar... The solution is not sensitivity training, rather; digital media collection training.

"In related news on Seymour Johnson AFB, the members of the 4FW CGOC conducted their own "Elephant Walk and Turkey Shoot" as all five of them marched on over to the Base Bowling Alley to share comraderie, Turkey Club sandwiches, and an informative leadership lecture on MyDP. "It was a real team-building experience for everyone involved in the CGOC Turkey Shoot" quoted 1 Lt James "Jim" McShoe, the council VP. "And we only had to shut down 4 support offices to make it happen! The flyers were all flying anyway, so they didn't need to fill a voucher or anything."
