Horrified graduates flee as planes attack crowds with hats

At least that title is humorous

[–]Apocolypse007 -5 points-4 points ago

And yet it had the least upvotes, not implying that it's title alone justified a repost.

[–]Agente_Anaranjado 31 points32 points ago

I see. The thing us, as of my typing this comment, your account has existed for two hours, and this picture was posted several months ago by another redditor, also claiming to be in it. - repost fail - nationalism fail (world-audience here, remember) - first-post obligatory downvote fail. Looks like your new account is off to a pretty bad start.

This picture is from class of 2007 iirc.

[–]AlabamaSlammered 3 points4 points ago

2003 actually

[–]cbh3dy 2 points3 points ago

I stand corrected.

[–]AlabamaSlammered 1 point2 points ago

2007 was the first year I found attached to the photo also, but it led me to a bunch of other sweet photos, where I found it again(I think on a Thunderbird site) saying 2003 AFA Graduation

Every time I see a pic of a hat toss at West Point or the AFA all I can think is "I wonder if they know that it was started by the Naval Academy".

[–]fargin_bastiges 1 point2 points ago

It's ok, because we invented the class ring.

Go Army.

[–]Old-Ben-Kenobi 1 point2 points ago

So by my count the score is

Navy: 1
Army: 1
AF: 0

I can live with that.

[–]fargin_bastiges 1 point2 points ago

It's not their fault they're the newest academy and their founders are all West Pointers. They're like an insecure younger brother, constantly trying to impress their indifferent older brothers.

[–]Old-Ben-Kenobi 1 point2 points ago

Yes but part of the role of the older brothers is to gently pick on the younger brother to ensure he can take it. It's just part of our job.

[–]gizadog 1 point2 points ago

Please remove this post. Misleading title!!

The only thing I can think of is.. how the hell do people find their hats a few seconds later?

[–]numbernine847 0 points1 point ago

my brothers and me.. be respectful

[–]losangeles11 0 points1 point ago

How original. I've only seen this photo 10 or so times on here.

[–]gripform 1 point2 points ago

redditor for three hours and posting a photo that is at least two years old...(I used the same photo for a company video the summer of 2010 (with proper creative commons citation, of course)).

[–]brothertwig -2 points-1 points ago

I remember seeing a picture of this on 4chan, captioned "ALL THE NIGGERS ARE DEAD!". As horrendously racist and absurd as it was, I had a chuckle that earned me a place in hell.

[–]devious00 1 point2 points ago

You wish you had friends you could call brothers. Shitty repost is shitty.

[–]amhaggerty -2 points-1 points ago

My sister graduated from USAFA in 2012, best graduation ceremonies I have been to and will probably ever have the pleasure to witness.

[–]BloodyIron -3 points-2 points ago

Just another cog...

[–]publius4 -3 points-2 points ago

You have to be pretty self righteous to criticize how someone else spends their time while you sit here dicking around on reddit.

[–]pusangani 3 points4 points ago

Keep sucking that hero dick, it's a good look for you

[–]BloodyIron 1 point2 points ago

I like how you criticize me for having an opinion on how someone spends their time, and yet in the same breath you criticize how I spend my time, bravo such talent.

The issue isn't how they spend their time, the issue is that the military isn't something I can respect in modern days, and someone joining the military perpetuates gross spending and avoidable deaths through the military industrial complex. Just because you're mad because I don't like the system doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

[–]cmsg93 -2 points-1 points ago

Did you hide any money in your cap for the kids?

[–]amhaggerty 1 point2 points ago

That is such a great tradition. Apparently they are supposed to put in the amount of the year. So 2012 was $20.12.

[–]cmsg93 0 points1 point ago

awesome! I wish I was young enough to run out and collect a hat. It's fun to see the kiddies run

[–]amhaggerty 0 points1 point ago

Yes it is! When did you attend the graduation? Or are you a graduate yourself?

[–]StrungoutScott -3 points-2 points ago

So much 'Murica.

[–]CanisMajorisV -5 points-4 points ago

[–]Roomy -2 points-1 points ago

What happens to the hats afterwards? Do you guys get your hats back, or is it sort of a use one you can find afterwards thing?

[–]cbh3dy 0 points1 point ago

The hats are worn with a cadet ceremonial uniform that is not used by the rest of the Air Force. After this celebration, we have no need for them so many of us leave them on the field. They actually let a lot of little kids on the field to collect them. Some cadets find and save one as a souvenir, but most of us just get the fuck out of that pit of hell ASAP.

Ah I remeber my marching band years.

[–]6inchpianist -1 points0 points ago

Obviously your mother has banged a lot of dudes.

[–]Danfish77 -1 points0 points ago

That's a lot of brothers- I'm guessing Mormons.
