#1 i think this is bullshit, if the 2 involved weren't married then what is the problem as long as it didn't harm any of the teamwork in ranks

#4 Confirm RA. Perhaps Chris is another of Obama's trolls, his knowledge of the military seems to fit the model.

#5 chris is one of those who've never been on the inside other than Hollyweird impersonations of what the military is really like. Anyone who's served in a unit with extra curricula activity knows how destructive such an activity can become to unit integrity and morale. Look somewhere else to get your attention, but not in house.

#6 Hopefully it was not, but I don't even wish to imagine some adolescent love triangle murder or suicide over an air show audience. Thank you Secretary Donley. Hopefully the US Army will step forward and follow your lead. It is LONG over due!

#7 Interesting; in the past it was not unknown for the Blues to call former Blues to fill in for missing pilots. there is more to this story on several levels.

#8 "its last three air shows next month"

Probably not worth reacquisition and refresher training for the three airshows left in the 2008 schedule.

Also retired USN but as that name is taken, I remain

#9 I have an old buddy that I grew up with who recently started flying for the Blue Angels. Last I heard he wasn't married and knew his way around the ladies. I hope for his sake that he kept it professional and wasn't involved.
