February 29, 20205 yr Anytime someone seriously says the word “trigger” I lose all interest in what they have to say.
February 29, 20205 yr Wow. Fingers strikes again. The lies that this propagates. Let’s destroy all the military airplanes on sticks or airplanes in museums because they were probably flown by someone who at one time might have said something that might possibly maybe might have been something that might maybe have been taken wrong by someone else and construed as offensive. Even though it wasn’t meant that way. Propagating this PC culture is sick. And disrespectful of those who have gone before.
February 29, 20205 yr Meh. He doesn’t own the song. IOW just cuz he says it’s changed does not make it so. I doubt I’ll ever sing it again, but if I do I’ll go with the actual words and not his PC version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 29, 20205 yr To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high. Doesn’t seem very considerate of our atheist brothers and sisters, does it? Honestly, USAFA grads are probably the only ones who know the third verse. How will they replace “at ‘em boys! Give ‘er the gun!”? Edited February 29, 20205 yr by Homestar This is TIC obviously
February 29, 20205 yr I don't care about the gender neutral stuff... but I do care that they removed the line about those *who fly*. That's some everyone's important #iserved BS.
February 29, 20205 yr Next up! Goldfein changes AF mission to “To serve and win” you know, bc “reasons”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 1, 20205 yr Hot take incoming: The song has always been weird and awkward. Forced group singings of said song have always been weird and awkward. I couldn't care less if they change any part of it. I hope this provides the bobs some level of short term satisfaction so they leave whatever traditions people actually still care about alone.
March 1, 20205 yr I dunno, I'm not particularly liberal, and can't stand most SJWs. But like the beard and turban topic I find myself just not giving a shit. Wtf sings the 3rd verse anyway?
March 1, 20205 yr 6 hours ago, FLEA said: Wtf sings the 3rd verse anyway? USAFA cadets. It’s their jam.
March 1, 20205 yr Well, it’s about time to update our service dress too. We’ve had the current ones for too long and it’s about to become heritage (I actually hate our service dress). Our leadership can’t fix any real problems so these low hanging fruit makes them feel good about themselves.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Wtf sings the 3rd verse anyway? It’s an academy tradition during football games to honor those who have passed. Edited March 1, 20205 yr by dream big
March 3, 20205 yr Now, all of those women who weren't joining the Air Force because of that blasted 3rd verse of the song will decide to become Airpersons. Mission-critical issue solved. Leadership at its finest.
June 24, 20205 yr New lyrics to the Air Force song are out. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2201395/final-changes-to-air-force-song-announced/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 25, 20205 yr I look forward to acting like I know the words and mumbling incoherently in rhythm at the next official event.

July 2, 20205 yr Just now, Clayton Bigsby said: Not 4 verses worth I don't, lol I don't think I ever made it past the first verse sober....that's my excuse.
