Sgt. Erwynn Umali &#8220;joined&#8221; his partner, Will Behrens, in a civil union ceremony Saturday at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. I&#8217;m just not surprised that it was the Air Force&#8230;sorry, I couldn&#8217;t resist;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The ceremony was performed at the base chapel by Navy chaplain Kay Reeb, according to the article.<\/p>\n<p>The couple issued a statement carried in the article: &#8220;We are so honored to be a part of this historic moment to be one of the first gay couples allowed to unite in a civil union on a military base.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So a Navy chaplain conducted the same sex union ceremony for an Air Force guy? No surprises there. <\/p>\n<p><del datetime=\"2012-06-24T15:16:34+00:00\">Being that I&#8217;m an unemployed  NCO, I&#8217;m more concerned with Umali in that picture. Does the Air Force usually allow their enlisted airmen to mix ribbons and miniature medals on their uniform? The only thing more gay than the ceremony is wearing the uniform improperly.<\/del><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Same-sex-wedding-at-AF-chapela.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Same-sex-wedding-at-AF-chapela.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Same sex wedding at AF chapela\" width=\"276\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30508\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><del datetime=\"2012-06-24T15:16:34+00:00\">I know the picture isn&#8217;t clear, but it looks to me like there&#8217;s some redundancy in the ribbons, too.
