AF Madness

Rant time! Wooooh rant rant rant

Just got back from a weekend with my boyfriend. Boyfriend sounds such an immature word, doesn't it? Reminds me of when I was in school and boyfriends were a necesarry commodity for raising of social status.

Anyway, my rant isn't about the word 'boyfriend'. It's about the US Air Forcce. Because they treat their staff/servicemen/whatever like kids. They have room inspections twice a month to check they're keeping the place tidy. They have uniform inspections to make sure they know how to dress themselves. They're not allowed to keep any items with heating coils in dorm rooms just incase they set fire to anything in a sudden mad fit of incompitence - yet they can keep microwaves. I imagine MUCH more damage can be done by mistreating a microwave than can be done by mistreating a toaster.

It's 3:42 am and I'm friggin' nackered, so I'm going to bed now to worry about my patronised military boyfriend while I sleep.

did the USAF allow you to be in the barracks? 'cuz, if so, that's a lot more progress than I would've expected from any of the armed forces...

I have to have a visitors' pass to get on base, but yes I can get on. They're not training barracks though. Thanks for visiting!
