These hurt feelings POGs had to have been created by a Pogue; an Air Force Pogue.
Whoever came up with these should choke himself.

I’m sure they are meant as jokes. Lighten up, Francis.
Oh they aren’t. They have gained popularity with the Wing. It’s going to be Wing wide soon at the 325th…
Wing wide? do you mean the pads with wings? because that’s what it seems like these Nancies need. And directions to ladies lingerie so they can get their big girl panties
(face palm)…
Need a counter-pog: “I want you to take a step back, and literally F**K YOUR OWN FACE!”
Leave it to th airforce!
The creators of Freakazoid probably would have something to say about the picture they used.
I want a “grunt” slammer!
What is this I don’t even…
You mean to tell me this isn’t a joke?
For those wondering, these come from the 325th Maintenence Squadron at Tyndall AFB, FL. The Wing leadership is going to make these wing wide soon. It’s the base’s attempt at curbing “inappropriate language or contacts” in the workplace. Soooo dumb.
Maintenance*
Conveniently these POGs will fit inside leaderships Suggestion Boxes…
I retired from the USAF after spending 20 years in aircraft maintenance and I have to tell you that this is stupid. I’ll bet some holier-than-thou, bible thumping officer came up with this. I’m so glad I retired because this shit is gayer than AIDS.
As a former Army officer, I can attest that this screams bible-thumper NCO, somewhere in the E-7 to E-9 range. Someone had to have the extra time and cash to make these. Actually, the most income with the least to do would be E-9, but I can’t speak to how little other services’ E-9s do.
Not even the least sensible of my peers would have implemented something like this even if they were somehow offended by vulgarity.
Nope, this smells like some holier-than-thou Libtard who wants to cram their own PC opinions and beliefs down the rest of our throats.
You just described a large segment of the Air Force.
Well its just relieving that the air force is preparing for our next war and emphasizing mission readiness!
(oh wait. hahaha!)
Impact achievement medal for someone who came up with this for sure! Remember, for 80% of everything stupid we do it was someone else’s good idea.
I know I am my own asshat at times with stupid comments here and also abroad the intranet so with that stated I am 100% serious here.
What the hell is going on? Has political correctness so entrenched daily life that the passing of gas could possibly land one in a civil or perhaps a criminal case??
I, along with many others I am sure, are wanting to laugh at this type of stuff but truly it’s NOT a laughing matter. This kind of stuff is going to choke the life out of the last tidbits of freedom we the People cling to!
So, someone says or does something “inappropriate” and you hand them this little card thingy and walk away like you’re a bad ass? LOL They should try these in a factory setting and see how far they get shoved up someones candy ass.

I work with some AF dudes and I totally got have some of these to hand out at opportune times to remind them of their place in the manliest armed service club
The PJ’s need to jump ship. They are the only regular folk in the AF.
This is exactly why I am getting out. The AF is all about feelings and hugs now and I get paperwork now for telling an airmen to shut the **** up and do his job, and I’m the asshole of the group.
The AF has a problem and is getting worse and worse everyday. The good ole’ days are over.
Beleive it or not I got away with telling a room of 150 to do whatever the F*&* a Senior NCO says to do….two months later and I`m still wondering how I survived..
Surely the challenge is now to collect as many as you can?
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
I guarantee it was not a maintainer who came up with this idea. Possibly a wing king whose delicate pilot sensibilities were offended by some course language used by the A1C who just spent 12+ hours fixing the wing king’s jet, only to have it hard broke again after one sortie.
If I were a gambling man, I’d say that it was someone in finance cocked up the wrong person’s pay, got called out on the matter and got butthurt about it.
At least Rangers still have balls! …… Oh, wait….
When I was in Navy boot camp in 1960 my company commander GM1 Johnson used to threaten us with transfer to the EMI Company if we didnt get our shit straight. EMI (Extra Military Instruction) is not where you wanted to go. He advised this is where they sent the Queers and the Pogues. Well I knew what a Queer was but not a Pogue and was damned sure I didn’t want to find out.
Suprise…. You were a pogue
Why use these? Just send a email straight to the Pentagon to report the offense. Just like the so and so did after she found the online comments unprofessional. SMDH
I don’t quite get it. I mean one way or another the inventor of this crap just needs to go die in a fire, but I am curious how these are intended to be used. Are you supposed to present this to someone who is offending your delicate sensibilities in person, thereby just being a silent weirdo? Or is this meant to be passive-aggressively left on someone’s desk/locker/etc for them to ponder who the pussy is, and wonder what they’ve done to earn the blue badge of bitch baiting?
Seriously, when and where did this “right to not be offended” crap come from? You have a right to speak freely. You don’t have a right to not be offended by someone else’s free speech. You’re just not that important, snowflake. Just get the f**k over yourself already.
It’s the passive aggressive route.
This is what happens when we down play masculinity in our society. Since when are we (as a society) not man enough to say, “Hey, f*ckface – what you just said wasn’t cool. Knock that shit off.”? I mean seriously… passive aggressive bull shit makes me crazy.
We’ll see how far these go. This is 100% because of the idiot civilian leaders at the top. They see this as a way to discourage assaults. The mainstream AF has a major problem realizing we are in the military and not the private sector. Trust me when I say these are ridiculously unpopular among the masses here at Tyndall. I refer back to the Terry Baldwin article the preceded this one. The AF has fallen from the days of SAC when we acted like a military branch. Grey leaders permeate throughout all the leadership levels and politics is the only way to promote at the E-8, E-9 level.
Grey leaders or gay leaders?
I’m sorry if I’m out of the loop here but what in the hell is a “Jake Warrior”? Never heard that one before, but if it’s the kind of person that makes these ridiculous childish little “you hurt my feelings” chits then count me the fuck out.
Seems like they just borrowed the idea from here. http://singlevoice.net/redyellow-card-project/
Does that mean they can’t carry a big rubber cock around on deployments to dub guys with their official call signs at the O club?
Not swearing in the military is unamerican.
Dear Air Force,
Even the Puddle Pirates in the Coast Guard are laughing at you know.
Regards,
the rest of the DoD
