DeeDee Blase- Air Force Veteran???
In the following article it clearly states that DeeDee served 8 years in the Air Force.
http://www.theventureonline.com/2012/02/deedee-garcia-blase/
Four years of active duty and an additional four years non-active duty. We need to verify this!!! Wouldn't it make sense that if this as true, she would tout this as one of her (only) successes??? Why does she not mention it on her Facebook Page. Why are there no photographs. Being an honorably discharged veteran would give her at least some credibility as a leader. It would open the door for a huge wave of support by Latino veterans!
What was the nature of her service. We have heard she as a "Dog Handler." We will be checking in US Military Records in St. Louis, MO and report back. Perhaps she did serve 4 yrs active and 4 more reserve honorably. We cannot say she did not. But we will most certainly verify this.
Doesn't DeeDee know that military service is something to be proud of? That is could show she has at least some basic leadership skills??? Especially since she lacks any credible background to be involved in political matters.
Yes, we will look into this and report back to you, the public. You deserve to know THE TRUTH!!!!
DeeDee Garcia Blase is a Mexican-American political activist, Air Force veteran and entrepreneur. She is the founder/former President of Somos Republicans as well as founder and current President of the National Tequila Party.
Born in Texas on 1971, her parents, whom eventually became business owners, moved to Idaho for agricultural reasons. Blase grew up Republican and still maintains many conservative views. In 2011, She switched her political party affiliation to Independent because of Republican’s rhetoric on illegal immigration.
After graduating from high school, her mother wanted her to attend Boise State University. Instead, Blase chose to join the U.S. Air Force against her mother’s wishes.
While with the Air Force, she served fours years of active duty and an additional four years non-active duty. She was stationed at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas.

OPERATION DESERT STORM???
--------------------
In the Air Force it takes 3 years to be an E-4 (Senior Airman) to become a Dog handler and go to the school, you need to have at least two years remaining on active duty status. That's 5 years total on active duty- minimum. DeeDee says she served four years- something does not add up!

Air Force Fraternization Policies
When Does Friendship Become a Crime in the Air Force?
According to DeeDee she married an Air Force Pilot (an officer). She was an E-4 (emlisted). That goes against the uniformed code of Military Justice and is a Crime if it happened during her 8 yrs of active or reserve service.
Relationship of Unprofessional Conduct to Other Provisions of the UCMJ. All military members are subject to lawful orders. When a military member has been lawfully ordered to cease an unprofessional relationship or refrain from certain conduct, the military member is subject to prosecution under the UCMJ for violation of the order. Similarly, all military members are subject to prosecution for criminal offenses committed incidental to an unprofessional relationship (e.g., gambling, adultery, assault). In addition, officers may be prosecuted for violation of the specific prohibitions listed below; violation of the custom against fraternization; and conduct unbecoming an officer.
Specific Prohibitions Relating to Officers (Fraternization). Unprofessional relationships between officers and enlisted members have a high potential for damaging morale and discipline and for compromising the standing of officers. Consequently, officers have an ethical and a legal obligation to avoid certain relationships and activities. Officers must not engage in any activity with an enlisted member that reasonably may prejudice good order and discipline, discredit the armed forces or compromise an officer's standing. The custom against fraternization in the Air Force extends beyond organizational and chain of command lines. In short, it extends to all officer/enlisted relationships
.
Specific Prohibitions. Conduct that violates the custom of the Air Force against fraternization can be prosecuted under Article 134 of the UCMJ.

We will be looking into all of these matters...
1) Involvement in Desert Storm?
2) A military MOS of Air Force Dog Handler
3) The Crime of "Fraternization with an Officer"
4) The true character and nature of her supposed 8 years total service.
We do not know what we will find out, but we will be sure to share it!!!
