Tired Of ‘Chair Force’ Nickname, Colonel Bans Chairs
"Tampa, FL – The Commander of the 6th Air Mobility Wing at MacDill Air Force Base announced today that he would no longer allow chairs to be used by his airmen. In his weekly command-wide email, Colonel Lenny Richoux stressed the importance of good posture, physical fitness, and “standing tall”."
"The Command Chief Master Sergeant, Derrick Crowley, wasn’t buying it." “This isn’t about posture. The Colonel’s just plain sick and tired of this ‘Chair Force’ moniker. Being around all these CENTCOM doorkickers all day long means we have to put up with all their crap.”
“How the hell am I supposed to work under these conditions?” said Senior Airman Gregory Jones, “So we use chairs. Big deal. It doesn’t mean we all should be at standing desks like a bunch of idiot hippies.”
This is just a taste of the great satire produced at The Duffle Blog. Troops of all stripes (but not necessarily The Brass), and uniforms will enjoy it, except those inundated with the politically correctness bug. For them, there is equal opportunity to be offended, regardless of service.
Drop in, relax, and enjoy some good old Military Humor, written in a style that you could likely start some serious Rumint by pasting it up on the unit bulletin board.
