Nobody concerned about color, ethnicity, or sex??? You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Here is some history for you. Back in the mid 90s, the O-4/5/6 promotion boards were given the following instructions: "Special consideration should be given to women and minorities for possible past discrimination." Think about that for a second. Genetics as the deciding factor and not actual discrimination but possible discrimination with the penalty being imposed on those that didn't commit any discrimination. Can't remember all the numbers but I do remember the O-4 board had a 94% promotion rate for minority women with a 73% promotion rate overall. Several lawsuits were filed but the O-6s, all white guys, were the only ones that had enough damaging data to cause the AF to settle out of court. Nobody cares? A lot of people care and have no problem throwing the sex/race card to get what they want, combat effectiveness be damned.

Thanks to SHUTR for the pic.

AF question answer priorities: 1. All of the above 2. The longest answer 3. The most general and non-committal statement (never choose an answer with "always") 4. The complicated answer that doesn't make any sense (because you didn't do the reading)

...Weed? "Are we drug dealers? No, we are not. Thank you for asking, though." "Is there anything else we can help you with? Perhaps you'd like an 11-year old prostitute sent to your room. We can do that. Or maybe we can off someone for you. Huh? How's that sound? I've got it. Why don't we start small? Would you like a fresh towel? Maybe you could roll that up and smoke it." ...oh "Gouge"? Nope, don't have it. "so don't go spending all your cash on needles and guns just yet."

Rock, paper, scissors, knife, GUN.

The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

You and me both!

Ugh. I just put one in my cart and made it to the payment screen before realizing I'm going to go broke. I can't stop! It's a sickness!

Diversity in the military: Anything else is for snaps.

Yeah, some cargo outfits. And they all pay for shit. Look, anyone who thinks they are going to get out and not take a serious financial hit for a few years is not running the numbers properly.

So, will there be an Operational Diversity Management(ODM) form in the mission folder along with the ORM form?

Ironic isn't it, a military service that strips all entrants of their individuality, makes them dress and look the same, enforces uniformity yet celebrates diversity? Does anyone else see a conflict there?!?
