Air Force punks

[Cyrus]

U.S. Air Force Major Dan Ward works at the Air Force Research Laboratory, in Rome, New York, and Major Chris Quaid at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Bethesda, Maryland.

Their jointly written article was recently published in Defense Acquisition, Technology & Logistics. The article is titled "Everything We Need To Know About Program Management, We Learned From Punk Rock".

Punk rock is loud and in-your-face, un-apologetic and fearless. We need more of that atitude around here.

Punks may not be pretty and their lyrics may not be coherent to the casual listener, but they have integrity and deep understanding of what the Air Force calls "service before self". Punk's ideological stand against the pursuit of illicit personal gain is virtually identical to the Air Force's second Core Value. It is the mission that matters, whether that mission is music or missiles. It's about service, not about your own interests.

So, close your eyes, forget yourself and feel the beat move you along.

Sounds like our boys have their heads screwed on right.

didn't the airforce academy just have this big tolerance seminiar because an abnormally high number of the professors and students were professing Christians and non-christians felt intimidated and harassed?

You can dress it up to look like punk rock, but at the end of the day, if it's a bigoted pile of [censored], it's just a punk rock bigoted pile of [censored].
