US Air Force Academy Graduates 976 Officers

[msalak87]

God, it has got to be nice riding around in a warm toasty cockpit getting payed the big bucks while some underpayed pvt is smelling his own ass at OP Afghanistan. I hope you guys never take your rank or positions for granted. Congrats and a very wise choice to all of you who graduated!

[msalak87]

500.......I never knew they got that many pilot seats.

[14CPO]

its always the lower ranks who get sent into harms way it seems and the poor people usually are the ones who get injured

[Enforcer57]

I'm am so envious of those officers; they are so fortunate to have this opportunity, and the country is much better for their efforts; the USAF has always been there when needed, even when neglected. It's a pity the speaker (Sec Def Gates) won't let them have new aircraft or sufficient numbers in the current Jimmy Carter like gutting of the military. Give it 4 yrs and that will change. Thanx cadets.

BTW, I highly recommend any J. Witnesses escape that dangerous cult of white slavery.

[louie111887]

500 for pilot training ! jeez, i wish i would have done better in high school. these kids got the upper hand on me, i have to try to get into ocs now

[MajorMikeDavid]

Though I know this is an old debate, I couldn't help but state what needed to be said. Chrisnia, its okay, I believe you and there is no need to listen to someone's incredilous reply. You were smart not to continue the debate. Now as for me, I will reframe from saying anymore and replying to any other individual's insults/posts/etc. I have more important things in life to do then to sit and try to prove a pointless arguement.

[MajorMikeDavid]

Looks to me as if there are some people on here who are suffering fr/ an identity crisis or something of the like. Solo, for God's sakes and do us all a favor, be a grown up that you constantly keep stating that you are. A real mature person would be wise and not continue to be so adolescent with the things they state. Take a hint fr/ this quote "Do not answer according to a fool's folly, lest you be like him." Unfortunately for you though, you've mesed this up already.

[chaimss]

Congratulations, Lieutenants!

[Duster598]

Whatever  the Air Force is for pussies. You guys keep sucking the enemies dick and thinking you make a difference.

[jdragon1012]

thats a horrible thing to say about those cadets do you have a fucking idea what they whent through

[wbg0812]

wow this is what people do in their spare time?

Call Oprah or Dr Phil for heavens sake...

[Duster598]

Man I hope I seduce your wife in a club.

[SoloWing808]

The Air Force Academy is a disgrace. It lacks an open mind, tolerance, and compassion. I say this because the Air Force Academy is systematically biased against any cadet that does not overtly espouse Christianity They have violated the constitution and separation of church and state.

[thebigguns51807]

Ther separate Indeed but dont forget you cant

run a conuntry with the absance of GOD!

[SoloWing808]

Then explain why Japan and China are doing so well. You don't need to use religion to run a country unless you're dealing with a population of naive, simple-minded fools, but I guess that's what a majority of Americans are anyway. Citizens of a country should unite under a flag, not a god, unless you want something like Iran.

[thebigguns51807]

YOURE SAD! China is still considerd a communist 3rd world country because of Its population has outgrown its gov. and ed.!

and japan allways pay tribute to its believes and I never heard of the acadamy doing such anyway!

[thebigguns51807]

We have week leaders, thats why our contry is

going down! they dont believe in anything

people are loseing morals and their spirit.

A spiritual person is at peace a religios person is ratical! theres a difference

[thebigguns51807]

If you believe something else thats fine But Never! take away "One Nation Under God",!

because it is that phrase what keeps the

basic Humain rights for all citizens and

keeps the goverment from geting TOO POWERFULL!like communist China because in the

asian countries its not all sunshine!!

[SoloWing808]

The founders of our country never even intended to have "One Nation Under God" in the pledge. It was a group of religious politicians who disregarded religious equality and integrated it. You don't need a god to give you human rights. It's something that we all have naturally. By the way, you sound like a typical shallow Yank. I bet you've never even been to China. I've been there 10 times and it is far richer and more stable than the the U.S. Not to mention very few countries hate China.

[thebigguns51807]

FAR from it, Im a southern. and IF you take

religion out of the question you get bad things.also ether way you look at it countries

with or without a religios backround are usualy 3rd world or have something wrong.

[SoloWing808]

Look, I just think that it's wrong how the Air Force Academy disregards the personal beliefs of its cadets and harasses any non-christian cadet. If you don't believe me just google "Air Force Academy Religious Discrimination" or something like that. I'm just tired of seeing Christians trying to force their beliefs on others and censor other people's beliefs. Religious equality and an unbiased government is essential to the unity of America. There is no room for religious discrimination.

[thebigguns51807]

The Air Force Academy alows all religions and

atheist.that big landmark chapel houses many religions even some not so socialy acceptable.You walk in on a sunday or a holiday and go to your Rabbi or Preacher and they give you whatever you need to do,thats why I want to go to the academy.

[chrisnia]

Hey Solon, I went to the USAFA. Your right, we do not really jump for joy and hug Muslims and other non-Chistian minorities. We do not discriminate against them in public forums.

[chrisnia]

Ahhhh, a crooked toothed chain smoking brit is commenting on the histoy of the US and the wonders of China? What a fool....keep your opinions to your crappy smog and fog covered nasty island. Oh send Blair over, George needs his ar washed......must suck being you..

[chrisnia]

Simple minded fools huh? Well you show a complete lack of knowledge of the ranking of China and Japan in living standards and quality of life. Then comparing US to Iran..you should never have dropped out of elementary school; your slurpee induced "commentary" is even funnier that it is ignorant. I guess your just pissed off that people believe in God...

[SoloWing808]

You should have stayed in preschool. I never compared the United States to Iran you impulsive little brat. I said that the U.S. will become like Iran if the government becomes a theocracy. Obviously, you lack the intellect necessary to comprehend the message that I am conveying so I won't waste time conversing with you. Come back and discuss these issues with me when you grow up.

[thebigguns51807]

The H#@$*! I never compared them! Stop inquisitive yap! little illiterate girls must learn stay out of grown fokes conversation and stay in school and church FYI Im a Jehovah's Witnes so dont talk about me like an agnostic dissembler!

[bubbleage2]

wow mr.jehovahs witness, you think your pretty cool talking all fancy like that with big words. quit being a jerk, shut up, and enjoy God's creation of the finest air force academy in the world (yes even you believe in God).

And another thing: STUDY THE BIBLE ITSELF NOT WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU ABOUT THE BIBLE. Chrisnia, I'm with you

[chrisnia]

How about the ABSENCE of poor spelling?

[Duster598]

Officers of the United States Goverment! AKA The Bush bitch squad. I hope you serve with the arrogance of a true blue officer at the expense of your fellow enlisted man. Pilots can shoot enlisted men illegally and it's ok! These same men try enlisted men to help further their ass kissing careers. O be proud!

[FightingFalcon91]

Fuck you man, you wouldnt last one day at the Air Force Academy.

[Duster598]

I'm to smart to go into the Air Force. Dude hope you lose your life buddy!

[jakerodely]

Wow you're a fucking slime. Don't fuck with us shithead. Without us, this whole country would be reduced to rubble and you wouldn't be able to watch your precious YouTube and read about your celebrities.

[Duster598]

You can't do a thing to stop me.

[mattiegvideos]

I'm sure what you meant to say, since you're so much smarter than us, is that you are "TOO smart to go into the Air Force".

[spaceboy1993]

without the air force army and marines would have to rely on shooting straight just like in ww2 where the avg rifleman was given 10 bandoliers and told to march toward Germany and don't stop until Hitlers dead.

[pjm189171]

it is "too smart" not "to smart"
