Air Force Uber Alles

March 13, 2008 9:24am

This is ridiculous. Almost as dumb as the tempest in the teapot that was the so called 'blog blocking debacle.

I'm all for picking on intolerant bible thumpers, but just because they infest my USAF doesn't mean that it is turning into the 4th Reich. This connection is pretty reaching.

Air Force Blocks Access to Many Blogs

February 27, 2008 11:47pm

From someone in the Air Force, I can say that blogs have been blocked at the bases I've been at for a good while now. This is usually done through nannyware. Why some Berkeley types might be getting up in arms(if they believed in arms), there is a flip side to this. The USAF especially has been squeezed for manning severely, in order to buy shiny F-22's we've had to let people go. We've also had to send many to do traditional Army jobs in Iraq, because the Army doesn't have enough people.

Now with such a limitation on the workforce, do you want US tax dollars spent on work, or Airman Snuffy reading blogs all day? What is not being reported in this posting is that everyone has free time, and there is usually somewhere they can go to read their blogs off the military network. Even if there isn't, it is still the Military, get rid of your Private Benjamin delusions.

That shower sounds a little more complicated than it needs to be. An even more spartan method, which is used by the military in unimproved locations is called a "GI Shower", which consists of several baby wipes. There is even a macho branded camouflaged packaged version called Hoo-ah's....
Interesting to see about how these guys do it though.

#8 just beat me to it....
Also, looking at the blogger site, that photo looks like it is just mold porn, not an actual photo of the house.
