Space Force

[DA SWO]

Is the guy in charge referred to as CinCSpace?

 

[Jaknight]

Does this mean The Marines will be Announcing the Brand New ODST soon?

I agree on the need for a "space force"; ie. a focus on this capability. But it just doesn't seem like this should be it's own branch. The domain is just another operational arena. Space superiority/supremacy (not sure if those are actual terms yet but they probably will be) seems to be a natural extension of air superiority/supremacy.

An easy way to look at things, from a historical standpoint, is the evolution of coastal navies vs the evolution of blue water naval forces. A cautionary history lesson that fits this topic is that of Japan's coastal navy and it's subjugation following Commodore Perry's arrival. The same history lesson applied to many Asian countries during western expansion.

If our military doesn't adapt and change with the times we'll be under the boot of someone who does. The introduction of the Space Force just means that our military forces are evolving, it's a pretty good thing (except maybe for the Air Force).

Can‘t wait to hear about the PLFs on the moon. Lucky bastards.

Imagine how much harder it's going to be to find the LT doing navigation now. At least in the woods they typically still find them, in space.... ooof

Hard to landnav when there is no land.

But I never said landnav...

And on that note, I hope they dont hire NAVY SWO's. They cant control small boys, let alone space craft.

Maybe the pilots should be sub officers. There are more planes in the seas than submarines in the sky.

What about 3/6 Space Marines combing through moon dust for blasters?

This missing rifle story is becoming my favorite of the season!

I did a fairly long Battalion level emu bob for a set of AN/PVS-5 goggles. Instead of getting a pat on the back for disposing of the museum piece, we had a half day walk through the scrub looking for it. I'm pretty sure it was located back in an admin area...

We had 4 separate Space Force threads.

I'm still young enough to have as much property on the Moon or Mars as I have in Afghanistan.

Change my mind.

Oddly enough - I could sell you some ocean front property adjacent to the Sea of Tranquility if you can pass the credit check...
...first I will need your social security number and current credit card information

Lordy I love the Space Force.
That used to be labeled "Coast Guard."
