I don't know about the AF, but in the Army we made stupid videos also as jokes for dining "ins". All in good fun and competion as to who could make the best video to laugh at.
Like SIG said, that's pretty lame that there were jobs lost over this. Don't get me wrong, it's a dumb video, but ending careers? It's time to take the stick out, fellas.
Can anyone else verify the claim that these guys got hosed for this video. I highly doubt this claim. Even pin head Generals have a sense of humor. I have seen teflon guys get DUIs without effecting their careers.
Video is a couple years old. I'm sure the PCS and 3 x commander changes since then have kept them out of trouble.
ROE: Cameras NEVER go TDY, to callsign parties, or any other events considered "ritualistic". Even the straight "documentary" stuff can get blown out of proportion. Remember how AGAST the media was at a "blood winging" ceremony a few years back for some guys? Yeah--it looked a little brutal--but EVERY dude in the room with a bloody chest WANTED to be there. Just another reason to ditch the camera/camcorders...
About 12 years ago there was an infamous video from a VQ crew party poolside at the Citra in Baharain; it ended up on CNN, along with lots of red face for the front office! :0 "They did what?!"
Well there are different kinds of videos out there. Ones that are done with the intention of comedy, and the ones that showcase peoples alcohol induced stupidity. Both extremely entertaining
