Chairforce Terms of Use

The views and opinions expressed on the CHairforce.com Web site do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the owner/Webmaster of CHairforce.com. Additionally, the appearance of Department of Defense news and imagery does not constitute endorsement of CHairforce.com by the U.S. Department of Defense or any of its Armed Services. Those who contribute material to this Web site, do so at their own risk and under certain condition outlined in the CHairforce.com Terms of Use below. Like a wet-behind-the-ears, 23-year-old second lieutenant, CHairforce.com accepts absolutely no responsibility.

THE NAME "CHAIRFORCE.COM"
Within this Web site (CHairforce.com), the name "Air Force" has, in some instances, been changed to "CHairforce." This is not meant as a disparaging term. It is simply a word used to draw attention to the fact that most Airmen fight wars while maintaining a seated position -- whether it's behind a desk, behind the wheel of a vehicle, or inside the cockpit of an ass-kickin' killing machine. The term CHairforce does not define Airmen as weak, harmless, pencil-pushing desk jockeys. Everyone knows U.S. Air Force personnel almost single-handedly won the past two U.S. wars. Whether an Airman has four stars on his shoulder or one stripe on his or her sleeve, whether they're a fighter jock, a grease monkey or a Services troop handing out basketballs at the base gym, CHairforce.com will treat all "bluesuiters" with admiration and respect ... until you prove otherwise, in which case you will be taunted and ridiculed.

THE "CHAIRFORCE.COM" LOGO
CHairforce.com is an UNOFFICIAL Air Force news and entertainment Web site. The CHairforce.com logo was created to look like a chair with the familiar triangular angles found on the "official" Air Force logo. However, the colors were changed and the star and diamonds were removed out of respect for what those details symbolize. On the "official" Air Force logo: the star symbolizes space as the high ground of our nation's aerospace force; and the diamonds represent the USAF core values -- integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do. On the CHairforce.com logo, the colors and individual shapes mean absolutely nothing. It simply looks like a chair; an uncomfortable chair, but a chair all the same.

OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INFORMATION AND IMAGERY
Some of the articles and imagery (photos and line art) included in the CHairforce.com Web site were downloaded from the Air Force Link Web site and, in some cases, Army, Navy, Marine Corps or other Defense Department Web sites. In many cases, the wording of articles and photo captions has been changed to reflect the personality, or character, of CHairforce.com; however, pertinent facts (i.e., names, locations, data, etc.) have not been altered. The information that is published on government Web sites (including Defense Department Web sites), in most cases, is considered "Public Domain." In rare instances when the material is under copyright, it won't matter, because you won't see it on CHairforce.com.
