I work in a sea of Space Force folks and I have yet to see a USSF member in anything other than OCPs - even at formal occasions.

Photos are out again, at least in the Navy. I assume the concern of racist/sexist board members outweighed, the uh, weight of official photos.
I think the same happened in the Marines, but was after I left. I'll defer to those with current knowledge though.
Edit: I administratively ran a few boards while at manpower. Every once in a while, there were some dudes that happened to grow an inch in their late 30's. Chuckles abounded.
Dude is actually 7’9”…….he’s just as wide as a doorway. He’s actually just here to see if any of you fucks remember your 5th general order? I bet you dont, assholes
Unfortunately, he anthro'ed out of the latest Blue Origin flight. Katy Perry had a cooler looking uniform TBH.
It depends.
In the Corps it is, “To quit my post only when properly relieved.”
In the Space Force it is, “To orbit my post so I can see the most.”
I like Davids... but this is spot on.

Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf" [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I guess I need to spend more time in my library.
Until this post, I never even heard of Maya Angelou.
However I will say that "Activist, Poet, Writer, etc." isn't normally my reading genre.

You have had more than a high school education and never heard of Maya Angelou?
And for the record we need Mein Kampf in the library, just like we need every book that was on that list. Let ideas flourish or fail on their merits. Mein Kampf should fall into the latter by every mid who can read critically. As it stands now they can’t fail the others.I like Davids... but this is spot on.

Seriously? That's like saying you've never heard of John Steinbeck or Robert Frost.
Speaking of which, I'm reading The Making of the Atomic Bomb, by Richard Rhodes, which somebody on here recommended. It's super detailed (overly so, IMO) on the background of all these 20th century physicists, and it delves into Hitler and Nazi Germany a good bit. There are excerpts from some of Hitler's writings, which I had never really been exposed to. The antisemitism is so over the top, almost juvenile, that it reads more like a parody than anything resembling serious political writing. I guess I was surprised by how raving and insane he sounded. That an entire nation took him seriously is both astonishing and terrifying.
Don't worry, there is an entire population of red blooded Amerikans who would fall for that shit all over again if it were offered up. Does anyone have a space ship that doesn't require me to ride with Katy Perry? And if there is only a spaceship with her in it, can she make it worthwhile?
