Marines don't have an Academy. They whine on the Navy's site. Mr. Coast Guard Alumus USAF people can discuss whatever they want on their forum. Who are you to judge. USAFA traditions are their not yours. What matter to them is their issues not yours.
Whether it mini fridges, golf clubs or fly overs these traditions matter to them. It is the Air Force portion of this forum let them have their site to discuss what matters to them without our Coast Guard brothers belittling whatever they deem trivial.
The USAFA (or USCGA, or whatever) forums are open to all to allow a free flow of ideas between people of different backgrounds. If you want to lock it so that only cadets/grads (and parents, sure, whatever ) then contact the mods but I don't see a whole lot of support there.
Just because he doesn't agree with you make LITS' argument less valid, especially when you're talking about "traditions" to a guy whose service has been in existence for 150+ years longer than the Air Force. There's a long line of butthurt and over-sensitivity in this thread.
Take a step back and think about what you're actually trying to argue here. Are you really saying that in a time where we're cancelling deployments, making drastic cuts in flight hours, and slashing training budgets, a flyover or airshow should be a priority?
(Also: Marines don't whine. It's the art of tactical complaining.)
