Seriously - every time I turn around these dudes are porking up another thread.

How on earth do you expect them to learn. They should know early that we eat our own, and are willing to bitch them out for insignificant things. Isn't that what the USAF is all about (sarcasm)?. Truthfully though, I have "porked" up many a thread, and the mods have set me straight. Also, how would you truly be able to verify if someone is a ROTC cadet or in the Air Force. What about Academy and OTS candidates? I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

[raimius]

No.

The younger crowd needs to learn, so why not educate us before we F up something important as LTs?

You won't be able to F up anything important as an LT.

False.

Snacko is important.

No, actually no sarcasm required. That's the way of things.

I love the way we eat our own in the AF. I hope we keep doing it, and don't pussify things as we keep doing now.

Onetwopi, I understand where you're coming from, but we're not going to restrict their posting just because they're inexperienced. If you see ROTC nazis boning up a thread, use that opportunity to mentor the future pledges. Unless we're talking about CAPSoftSandy. In that case... kill.

[Justshootme]

RTFQ. He's asking if they can POST. Not if they can read. I think it would promote the whole "God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth for a good reason" notion, which waaaayyy too many folks don't seem to understand.

[speedy782]

I want to know how you plan on telling who is in ROTC and who isn't.

This forum will soon require a CAC card to post.

Or a password that must be changed every month and contain 6-9 special characters.

[Fud]

no keyboard patterns either.

[fastnumber15]

Isnt that what being a LT is all about. Walking away with you tail tucked between your legs is part of the process. I know when I left ROTC...I wanted NOTHING to do with the pukes who were younger than me. I really dont know when dungeons and dragons became cool, but I sure hope those tards learn soon otherwise they will get royally bitch slapped when the report to duty.

[Riebs]

Cause this thread isn't a waste of time....

D&D isn't cool, and WTF is your problem with a damn game?

Doesn't the second C in CAC stand for card?

The proper usage is, “you will need a CAC to post.” This is why I said a long time ago they just need to rename the damn thing the Secure Access Cipher Key.

I view every Butters post ostensibly so that I can ogle his avatar; in reality, I want only to bask in the warmth of his regular grammatical elucidation.

Ah the short-sightedness of state school grads. Feel free to correct me on what you perceive to be proper grammar, when in fact you overlook the bigger picture that trumps proper grammar everytime, the STS factor.

If I were to adopt your "fail" guidance I would be forced to make statements such as the following;

1. Crap, I left my CAC in my computer at work.

2. Can I see your CAC?

3. Have you seen my CAC?

4. My Freaking CAC does not work.

5. I ended up with your CAC by mistake.

As you are a Semenole I am sure you are quite happy using all of the above examples, but I will stick to CAC Card.

WTF? Why just ROTC cadets? Do you also want to restrict OTS selects, Academy cadets, and civilians?

Maybe the mods just do a very good job of cleaning up problems, but I really don't see that many threads 'porked' up by cadets. How about active duty officers who have been part of the board for a couple months with a couple dozen posts making threads advocating restricting some people who have been here much longer.

I'm active duty now, but I joined when I was a cadet. There was lots of good info to be had and aside from the obvious problem of deciding who is and is not a cadet, there is much more value in letting cadets ask questions.
