Gen. Jim Slife, commander of the Hurlburt Field-headquartered Air Force Special Operations Command, under which Special Tactics units operate.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement issued Thursday, Slife called the post &#8220;bullying and harassment&#8221; of the candidate with assertions that are &#8221; &#8230; either factually incorrect or missing important context which would completely change the perception.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, in a Friday memorandum to Special Tactics airmen, Slife called for Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall III to direct the service&#8217;s inspector general &#8220;to conduct an independent review of the allegations contained in the email,&#8221; according to a copy of the memorandum linked to an Air Force Times article on the social media post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwfdailynews.com\/story\/news\/2022\/01\/07\/afsoc-commander-challenges-criticism-female-special-tactics-trainee\/9130087002\/\">NWF Daily News<\/a><br \/>\nUnless things have changed, in the Navy declare a Drop on Request, or DOR, and one is finished with that training and is mustered out to the Fleet. No do-overs after that.<br \/>\nFortunately the AFIG review will crush any dissent from the folks expected to ignore realities.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, David.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zero tolerance for criticism, regardless the source.
