FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The majority of the instructors under investigation were in the 331st Training
Squadron, whose commander was relived from his post last week. Gen Rice said
Lt Col Mike Paquette, who has not been accused of misconduct, was relieved
because of the “unacceptable level” of misbehavior in his unit.
Lackland is where every American
airman reports for basic training – about 35,000 a year. About one in five
are female, pushed through eight weeks of basic training by a flight of
instructors that are about 90 per cent male.
As the allegations of misconduct mounted, the Air Force in March took the
almost unprecedented step of shutting down training for an entire day and
interviewing about 5,900 trainees. Gen Rice said Thursday the Air Force
received “very little” negative comments about instructors.
Gen Rice said that to his knowledge, all of the 31 female victims identified
by investigators are still in the Air Force.
Lackland has about 475 instructors, which is about 85 per cent of what the Air
Force would consider being fully staffed. Col Glenn Palmer, who is commander
of the entire 737th training wing at Lackland, has said that applicant
standards have not been lowered in order to attract more qualified
instructors.
The job is among the most demanding on base. Instructors work longer hours
than most for four years, at the expense of family and personal time. A
smartphone app the Air Force recently launched to help recruit instructors
includes a page of frequently asked questions, the first of which is whether
the divorce rate among instructors really is higher.
Gen Rice defended the screening process for instructors but said it will still
be re-examined. Only 11 per cent of instructors are female.
LeBlanc’s hearing Thursday was to determine whether there is enough evidence
to warrant a court-martial. Walker’s court-martial is scheduled to begin
July 16 and his attorneys have declined to comment.
