The ongoing rivalry between services… the stuff from which legends are made. And between the academies? Even better. This week, the focus moved from stealing Bill the Goat or Army academy mules to the Air Force. There isn’t as much history to work with there, partially because they just haven’t been around that long, and partially I am sure because of the 1500+ miles between Colorado Springs and either competitor. Hard to sneak out, play a trick, and get back in time for the first morning formation.<\/p>\n

But Army managed to pull one off.<\/p>\n

The upper bleachers of Falcon Stadium are colored so that the words \u201cAir Force\u201d can be read when the stadium is empty. But this week, Army (or its fans, no one really knows) found its way into the empty arena and painted it to read \u201cChair Force\u201d for passersby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, as insults go, I dunno. Not a lot of sting…after some of the things we say about Navy, ‘chair force’ is pretty mild. But, in their home stadium?<\/p>\n

Good clean fun. Although, as the wife (who is also former Army) pointed out, they could have reduced their exposure time and been more efficient had they just substituted an A for the O in Force. Must not have had any efficiency engineer students involved.<\/del><\/p>\n
