Who really cares about the Air Force?

Frank...Just a thought but without the sacrifices of all of those who have served in all branches of the military, to include the Air Force, you wouldn't have the freedom to voice your apathy toward the Air Force.

Welcome to AmeriKa ,the land of the freedom leaving you ,the muslims taking over ,and we don't trust in GOD anymore, nope can't do it,
We have a bigot for a president but we have had worse, Criminals in congress of yes thats almost everyone of them , And now you don't have freedom of speach or expression , Did anyone ever see the great job they did on getting an unamerican born a birth certificate 6 months after he was president, I would rather have a female like hot legs and good old Mccain be in office . This dude and i say that with respect seeing his o'lady tells him what to do and i wonder if she's proud of her country yet,biggist biggot since the KKK

Barring tats from the right arm/hand is because this is the hand/arm you salute with. Rules are rules - what a concept. Deal with it.

What a way to avoid the draft when it becomes neccesary again. Get a big tatoo on your right arm.
As for welcome to Amerika, you are so right. It bugs me that my neice serves under that thing as commander in chief.
It was bad enough I served under clinton in the Navy. But at least he was a citizen and a legal president.

This citizen of the United States wishes to serve his country and is told no is a disgrace. The persons who created this stupid rule need to rethink it. Tattoos weren't an issue when our grandparents fought world war two or when our parents were drafted for the Veitnam war. If the draft is ever called upon again and this guys name comes up I hope he shows you his tattoo agian and then his middle finger!

The United States military have long had regulations on what can and can not be seen or done to the body. Its all for reasons. As a member of any of the branches you are upheld to a higher standard to give a sense of value and comfort to the citizens of America.
Now as for the first posting about forget the Air Force this person might want to look back at the history modern Warfare and remember that to win any war you must have control of the Air Water and Land.
Lastly I want to say God Bless all who have Served to me you are Everything.

the mil. gets this one right

This is the problem with this country. Nobody wants
to follow rules.Be it how to behave in school to
driving on the road. Its ME ME ME the hell with
every one else.

The military has rules and regulations for a reason, plain and simple.They have every right to set rules. If you don't like a rule, don't join. Knowone is forcing you! However, if you're that adamant about joining, then have the tattoo removed....what was it I heard about our men and women who serve are "sacrificing".....Interesting concept, you should learn from it! Don't expect the military to change because of your "feelings"

Other services have instituted stricter tatt regs over the years to control gangs and racist groups from proliferating. And anything that can be seen openly when in dress uniform is a no-go. Obviously, that just forces them to find other ways to express themselves, but what ya gonna do? The Air Force has always been elitist with regards to serving, I was angered and offended years ago because of their policy of not admitting prior service. Anyone who has served knows that common sense and military regulations bump heads quite often. I do find it a shame that soldiers/sailors/airmen-women are the first ones who have to sacrifice their basic rights as Americans in order to defend those very rights, but that is the price you pay for a disciplined fighting force. However, I do feel that all branches should get on one sheet of music and make a basic policy for all.

That is why the airforce is gay as hell. People trying to serve there country and they cant because the Air Force wants to pretend it is still 1965. Kiss my Army ass Air Force. Go Army all day long.

Chris I like how you pointed out that to win a war you must have control of the Land Sea and Air. So lets just change those words around a bit. Sea Air Land = U.S. Navy Seals. Gotcha beat go Navy. Oh and the navy allows tattoo's on both arms. And as for being held to higher standards read the report there was a female allowed in even though she had a clown tatooed to her arm. Besides its not liek fly boys and girls have worn there blue uniforms in the past 5 years. All I have seen is their cammies.

The tatoo rule went into effect in 2007 for all the armed service, long before Barack was elected. I know because I retired from the military in 2007 with over 30yrs of service.

the airforce can institute any policy they wish. these knucklehead kids need to understand that you are automatically disquilifying yourself for many opprotunities with these dumb ass tattoos

fkn dum.all of it.cant serve your country because some dum fkn commander or someone feels disrespected by ink???get real.
