The VA could owe you thousands!

The US Air Force is issuing a warning to airmen taking part in publicly doing 22 pushups on social media to raise awareness on veteran suicides, claiming the act runs into the possibility of becoming a policy violation.

The Air Force contends that doing the event in uniform or on duty -regardless of good intentions- could violate the DoD’s policy against endorsements and fundraising.

“While [airmen] are allowed to participate in activities to honor fallen airmen or bring awareness to issues like suicide, if these activities are associated with any type of nonprofit, non-federal entity, or fundraising or membership campaign, it cannot be done in an official capacity,” according to a Sept. 30 Air Force release, which danced around naming any challenges or events in particular.

Ok,fake out.

I clicked on this link expecting to find reports of Air Dales saying stuff like "What's a push-up?",and "Aren't they hard to do? I'm going to tell my mama you are being mean to me,you bully!",and find out it is a legitimate thing.

I didn't think that anyone in the USAF could do 22 pushups.  Of course I exclude the PJs and the other Spec Ops guys.......

Unfortunately it probably is against regulations, much like the ice bucket challenge was last year.
