And the Space Force Members will Officially be Referred to as................

[RocketGeekInFL]

I still think Space Cadets would have been better, but since we are going this route, let me introduce you to the first Commander of the Space Force, Star Lord.

 

[SDramstad]

You just cant make this stuff up....

 

[teepot]

When I joined the AF in 1979 my first unit was with The Aerospace Defense Force. That got killed and we became part of SAC. I wish them the best.

 

[boatgeek]

... of the galaxy?

Actually, that was my kid’s joke, but it’s a good one.

 

[Hobie1dog]

ridiculous at best

 

[kuririn]

And their pickup line in bars is
"I am Groot".

So, aside from Security Police dogs and Army mules and horses, the Space Force will be the first Trans-Species military service?

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

It’s like some kind of self-parody. Maybe the leaders of Space Force have a sense of irony and enjoy pop-culture references. The logo is from Star Trek. The Guardians thing is from the MCU. And the “Heritage. Mission. Culture“ tag line sounds like something from Starship Troopers. They need something from Star Wars. Hopefully we get some Star Destroyers out of this deal, and everyone is armed with blasters and lightsabers.

It’s more like a Trans-Franchise sci-fi show.

Promote a Jedi Master to USSF Commander, and train the padawans in the use of the force.

 

[Zeus-cat]

So I have already seen this question posted online, will raccoons be allowed to join?

 

[Zeus-cat]

Honestly, I wonder if they will rethink this name.

Michael Scott seems fitting.

I know. It sounds ridiculous, right? Why not Storm Troopers?

 

[RobertH3]

From the retired USN CPO: they're going to get so bagged on...

There goes the Marksmanship ribbon........

Super easy, barely an inconvenience:

May the Space Force be with you.

 

[dhbarr]

Beats warfighters.

 

[Ronz Rocketz]

Don't forget Guardians from Destiny 2...

 

[Louis Wu]

It's about recruiting, I would say, and it's stupid as ****

 

[Cnorm]

Hee hee!

At least they didn't decide to use "Space Wolverines"

 

[georgegassaway]

Hmm, since they are American Space Guardians, would that make them ASGuardians?

Think of how that sounds when you say it.

And yes, also ends up being a movie reference.

Does this mean those serving in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast GUARD, are *NOT* "Guardians"? Or will they all be called guardians now?

Silly jingoistic unnecessary term. Does not even imply "space". Unlike sailor or marine.

Whenever I hear “space cadet”, it’s Porky Pig’s incarnation that comes to mind. But I guess that’s just me.

Wow. Just wow....

[Cape Byron]

Somewhere I have an Estes Space Cadet badge. Time to look for it...

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

Maybe the Guardians will team up with the Nova Corps to defend Xandar from Ronan the Accuser and his army of Sakaarans.

It's the government... how about "We are Borg"?
