Due to procedural changes in the USAF … we may want to change the title of this forum topic!
We don’t want to offend anyone. Gives “check six” a whole new meaning! |

Of course, these legendary guys don't have to hide it anymore (but then they're Navy, so I don't know if they ever did):
Shameless and obligatory Top Gun reference |
