Space Force Servicemembers to be Called “Guardians”
This announcement will probably set off a whole new round of jokes about the Space Force:
Troops serving in Space Force are now referred to as Guardians, Vice President Mike Pence announced Friday.
“It is my honor on behalf of the president to announce henceforth the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as Guardians,” Pence said during a ceremony to celebrate Space Force’s first birthday, which is Dec. 20. “Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Guardians will be defending our nation for generations to come.”

You can read more at the link, but does anyone have any alternative ideas on what Space Force personnel should be called?
The top commander will be known as “Star Lord”. His top enlisted as “Mary effin Poppins Ya’ll”.
Guardians has a real sci-fi vibe…
…like maybe working with Gray technology to protect humanity from Reticulans.
Kinda makes you wonder what they know.
Heh, our oldest boy has a pilot training slot. They asked if he wanted to sign up with Space Force if they have a need for him and he signed the papers.
CH, have you seen XCOM: Enemy Unknown / Enemy Within?

Congrayts Liz, I was talking to an old vet today, his son had joined to be Infantry. Time to watch Starship Troopers again to see the difference:)
Tanker, I recommend the book, as the Uwe Boll films are not even close…

Very cool, Tanker! One more point in your favor. I wish we did have powered armor tho’…
