From Air Force Magazine:
Airmen and Guardians are now allowed to include their pronouns in the signature block of emails, memoranda, letters, and papers.
The inclusion of pronouns, such as he/him, she/her, and they/them, in signature blocks has become an increasingly common practice in the business world and helps to ensure that transgender and nonbinary individuals are identified as they desire. It also helps individuals with gender-neutral names.
“An inclusive force is a mission-ready force, and I’m thankful to the LGBTQ Initiatives Team for helping us realize this opportunity to be a more inclusive force,” Undersecretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones said in a statement.
The effort to introduce this change in the official writing guide was started by Master Sgt. Jamie Hash, the other LIT Transgender Policy Team co-lead, as part of her base’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee, the Air Force said.
The Air Force officially stood up its department-wide Office of Diversity and Inclusion in January 2021.
Since then, the Air Force has updated standards such as those involving women’s hair in an effort to better address differences in hair texture and density, and Jones became the first openly lesbian and second member of the LGBTQ community to serve as undersecretary. Since then, she has championed several diversity initiatives within the department.
Kelly Johnson didn’t need his pronouns in his signature when he ran Skunk Works and designed half the fucking aircraft for the Air Force.
Today’s Air Force has an Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion that is putting pronouns in bios.
We learned in WWII, Korea, and again in Vietnam the importance of air combat superiority.
That became Air Force doctrine.
We could use tactical air dominance to secure victory over a larger enrmy ground force.
We’re going to give that up for diversity, equity inclusion, and preferred pronouns.
It has been absolutely clear that everything Woke goes to shit.
It goes to shit because it doesn’t foster unity through an esprit de corps but causes constant infighting and grievance mongering.
Once you go down the path of DE&I and pronouns in your bio/signature, you’ve drunk enough of the Woke Kool-aid that your downfall is inevitable.
Hell, even North Korea’s military is putting out better advertising than ours.
I’m really looking forward to the movies that future generations will make about our upcoming conflicts with the Russians and/or Chinese:
“If you nonbinary otherkin leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a unsafe space. You will be a non-denominational minister of microagression, praying for trigger warnings. But until that day, you now identify as pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even fucking personal pronouns. You are nothing but unorganized, grab-asstic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I identify as hard, my personal pronouns are “Gunnery Sergeant” and “Sir.” You will not like me because I have privilege over you. But the more you bellyfeel double-plus ungood towards me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am equitable. There is no gender bigotry here. I do not look down on cis, trans, demis, or aces. Here, you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps!”

The Chinese and Russian Gov’ts won’t let the puppet Amerikan administration make any movies acknowledging a US military in the future.
When I was in Air Force ROTC many years ago, we were told fairly often that the last battle the US fought without having either air superiority or air supremacy was the Battle of Kasserine Pass. We lost that one.
Air “supremacy” is a racist bigotry that asserts that air has unearned privilege over the other elements of water, fire, and earth. Air “superiority” is a colonialist concept of asserting patriarchal hierarchy. Not to mention the phallic imagery of “missiles” and “cockpits.”
Why not just come right out and say you want to rape the Sky Mother Goddess, you cishet shitlord!?

Notice how they call them Surface to Air Missiles, and not Surface to Air Hittiles?
— Tom Kratman
Legendary story from the “6 day war” (Israel vs. Arabs, 1967): telegram from Cairo to Moscow:
“Stop sending surface to air missiles. Send surface to aircraft missiles instead”
As a USAF veteran, all I have to say at the moment is “Ugh.”
If Billy Mitchell and Tooey Spaatz had known that their dream of an independent US Air Force would have turned to this, they probably would have gone into the Navy.
