Task Force and gives Marines and sailors the opportunity to become
familiar working together as a blue-green team.

Not one woman in uniform has the right to bitch or complain about how men view them. There sisters put them in this light. There sisters are pushing this issue. There OWN sisters are making the case that women are different from men.
When you hop into the back of a CH-53 to do a TRAP mission and you see a female pilot sitting there can you blame a PFC for looking at her wondering if she's lactating? Heaven help guys doing PT in mixed sex units....
And guess what girls...you did it to yourselves.
Sidenote: I notice NOT one of the big boy military blogs is touching this with a ten foot pole. AMAZING. What a bunch of fucking cowards. You're bad and bold with every fucking thing else but this issue you won't touch???? Kiss my ass you bunch of arrogant clowns.
The Air Force has no policy on breastfeeding in uniform. But it does
forbid airmen from using the uniform to advance the cause of an outside
organization.
“The uniform was misused. That’s against
regulations,” Kosik said. “I want to be very, very clear about this. Our
issue is not, nor has it ever been, about breastfeeding. It has to do
with honoring the uniform and making sure it’s not misused. I can’t wear
my uniform to a political rally, to try to sell you something or push
an ideology. That was our point of contention.”
This should get good.
The Air Force doesn't have the balls to actually punish these females (no service would...the Mothers of America lobby is too strong and the JCS is filled with momma's boys) but you can bet your last dollar that this won't be the end of it. Like most advocacy groups...they won't know when to stop and I guess that they're attempting to recruit women from other services to be photographed in uniform in an effort to push this fake agenda.
NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. – U.S. Marine Corps test
pilot Lt. Col. Fred Schenk flies a mission May 10 in F-35B Joint Strike
Fighter test aircraft BF-1. The mission expanded the aircraft’s flight
envelope in short takeoff and vertical landing mode, and was the 200th
flight for the aircraft. The F-35B is the variant of the Joint Strike
Fighter for the U.S. Marine Corps, capable of short take-offs and
vertical landings for use on amphibious ships or expeditionary airfields
to provide air power to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The F-35B is
undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River prior to delivery
to the fleet. (Photo courtesy of Lockheed Martin)

Beautiful bird.
Heads up. Still working on new info on the Marine Personnel Carrier Program. Its a bit more involved than I thought and I'm trying to backstop some of the opinions that I've come up with. Should be out this weekend.
To our British Friends! Thanks for the gift of those spare birds!
You're doing something wrong when you have to put out a 30 minute instructional video on how to assemble and use a pack.
What happened to simplicity, ruggedness and durability carrying the day? No, instead we have packs that are suppose to carry 100 pounds yet have plastic frames!
But even better is the fact that it takes longer to teach a Marine how to assemble his pack than it does to teach him how to assemble and disassemble his weapon!
Space X's first mission was a total success. The USAF has the X-37 program running full speed ahead with nary a hick up. NASA appears like an old, impotent, tired organization that needs to be put out to pasture.
But on second thought...who needs NASA? The USAF will be revitalized by taking care of the nations military affairs in space...Big Business will get the job done in low earth orbit and even in deep space if a profit can be made... yeah. Its time to take NASA down to the river, hold its head under water till it stops kicking and then let them feed the catfish.
