Sounds like that Commander used to wear an ascot. Since when did recruiting (which is essentially what the T-Birds are) become more important than combat training. I mean, I thought the goal of the military was to blow s*&t up, not perform flawless tuck under rolls and inverted tricks.

Good question. I used to think the same thing.

The CO here is (supposedly) just doing what the ACC commander at Langley is directing him to do. Still, he has an obligation to raise the BS flag higher and higher until it's seen.

But that might make becoming a General a little difficult.
