Air Force commander fired over crew's phallic drawings in bomber cockpits

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An Air Force commander was reportedly relieved from duty this week after an investigation found phallic drawings displayed on a moving map software used in the cockpit of a bomber.

Lt. Col. Paul Goossen was the commander of the B-52 squadron located at the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. He was released from duty after the images were discovered, military news outlet Military.com reported.

An investigation by the Air Force found that during the 69th Bomb Squadron’s deployment in Qatar from August 2017 to April 2018, penis drawings were repeatedly discovered. Sources told Military.com that the images were compiled into a montage and shown at an end-of-deployment roll-call.

The Air Force told the news outlet in a statement that Goossen was relieved of duty on Tuesday “due to a loss of trust and confidence from his failure to maintain a professional workplace environment.”

Taking the word 'cockpit' a bit too literally?

11. It's understandable to take this lightly, but...

But the military has strict regs about decorum and all that. Not only that, this could be construed as sexual harassment by the women that are serving with these men. I've been in that atmosphere and it's not very comfortable as a woman. It makes for a difficult work environment to say the least.

So, yes, he should have been disciplined.

12. Good. I worry about the Air Force.

The other branches of the service are generally a mix of so many types of Americans I never worry about their loyalty to anything but the constitution.

But the Air Force Officer Corp is way full of Fundies who I am not sure would place their oath to the constitution above a man or theology.

I base this on someone in my family who graduated from the Air Force Academy. Now out if the service. But some of the things he believes and exposes are frightening. And he was open with those beliefs while serving.

That said, he has been out of the service for 10 years or so. Hopefully things have improved.

13. And, you might remember, Minot Air Base was in the news a lot for screw ups during the Shrub era

Some incidents were quite serious, such as missing bombs. A whole slew of officers were booted out back then.

15. My son n law is Lt Colonel in AF

They are almost done 3 more years, in Texas now. More conservative than when they started but still very moderate and he is a good guy.

They both voted for Hillary because Trump lacks morals. They voted for Beto not liking Cruz.

They also are atheists and try to keep that quiet and mostly live off base because of it, in a few bases things were said to my daughter for not going to bible study with the other officers wives.

My daughter and her husband are more square than most Christians, they barely drink, don’t cuss and are always teaching the kids good morals.

14. Air Force squadron spends $56,000 on metal coffee cups.

I wonder if these are the same jokers that are spending $12.000 on a coffee cup?
