Robin Brown, a public affairs officer with the Tennessee Air National Guard, recited her oath of re-enlistment last week using a dinosaur puppet. Or why the colonel conducting the ceremony allowed her to do so, stifling his laughter as the puppet mouthed the oath. “The Tennessee National Guard holds the Oath of Enlistment in the highest esteem because that oath signifies every service member’s commitment to defend our state, nation and the freedoms we all enjoy. “This was not typical [behavior] for a re-enlistment ceremony by any means,” Jones said. In a Facebook statement Monday, the Air National Guard’s national director, Lt. Gen. Scott Rice, criticized the airmen’s behavior.
