The Air Force ain't known for being hard core military. I remember being in Korea and visiting an AB there when they were in the field. They draped camo nets over bldgs and wore TA-50. I kinda laughed when they told me what was going on.
And this is our Air Force's finest....

You are right about that. When I was serving in Vietnam you could a least say, they showed up, wore a uniform and they were on our side. :jetfighte

I've seen a lot a air force bases and I'm convinced that they lay out the golf course first and then design the base around it.

My brother in law tells a funny story that illustrates the differences between the services. He was was working on a joint service tactical nuke program while at Lawrence Livermore. The way he tells it, each service had very different concerns about the device...
Navy - not interested -- "what's the point?"
Army - "Great idea, now lets talk about the instruction manual, it will need to be at least 3" thick..."
Airforce - "can it be dropped a fast mover?"
Marines - "where are the handles? It really needs handles so we can carry it up the beach"

As a sailor, I would have been "sneaking a look" if I could...
and
It would have been sneaking as the person running the formation would have chewed me out thoroughly for letting my eyes leave the task at hand, showing a lack of discipline and most importantly GETTING CAUGHT AT IT!
I had to get that one in myself. All the services have their attitudes for good reasons and they all have their purpose. Their is a reason that the Air Force got split out of the Army Air Corp after WWII. They are still excellent at what they do. And I wouldn't want anyone guarding my life other than a disciplined Marine.
