2nd Lt. Travis Burch and fotos
According to the Associated Press, Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Travis Burch has been charged with conduct unbecoming an officer for soliciting pictures from members of the military featuring their genitalia.
Burch created a fraternal club of sorts that grew to 84 people, including 58 active military and 10 former members among the civilians, according to an investigation file obtained by The Associated Press. Most members were enlisted men in the Air Force, though the group also included a U.S. Marine and one current and one former U.S. Navy sailor.
Burch used the military alphabet to create the code name “Whiskey Delta Tango” for the group known to users by a more vulgar term, according to a summary of the investigation.
It started in 2012 and “was comprised of members who when going someplace deemed ‘cool’ or coming up with a ‘funny’ idea would take a picture of their penis with something related to the location or object in the picture,” the investigation said.
The Air Force spent a year investigating Burch and his antics, for some reason.
[Defense lawyer Jeremiah J. Sullivan III] confirmed Burch was part of the presidential security detail while stationed at Andrews Air Force Base from 2014 to 2016, but said no such photo was shot at the house then occupied by Vice President Joe Biden.
“There were never photos taken at the White House or the vice president’s house,” he said. “We know that for a fact.”

“There were never photos taken at the White House or the vice president’s house,” he said. “We know that for a fact.”
…Until, of course, they show up.
I have no desire to see Biden’s dick pics, thanks.
Though I wouldn’t be surprised…
“What’s that?”
“Wait. I have to magnify it…There you go.”
“I still can’t make it out.”
“It’s Biden’s dick.”
Use a magnifying glass, pepper or snuff and a pair of tweezers. You’ll find it.
Hey, that looks just like a man’s dick! Only so much smaller.
Genital wart.
Watch out. He’s coming over to kick your ass 2/17.
Yes, he is one tough hombre. He is reputed to fire off random shotgun blasts when not pawing random women and young girls or making verbal gaffs.
Biden thought he had a hair.
Until it peed.
…to see Michelle’s.
Biden is/was known to run around sans cloths and several female secret service agents complained about him swimming naked in front of them. This was when he was not busy fondling children and wives during public appearances.
Joe is just an all-around pervy guy, and that’s his only good point.
“Least creepy” =/= “good”
But, but he is going to be our next president if the Hilldog doesn’t get the nomination again. Show some respect.
Joe Biden has a penis?
Yeah, declarations of “We know that for a fact” are soooo reassuring.
Translation: The only ones we know about are locked up in selected personal safes.
Why not? Biden would have fit right in imho 😉
When a criminal defense lawer makes a statement to the media, you can definitely take that to the bank.
DUMBASS!!
What a maroon!
“Two months after his commissioning, he texted an airman in Belgium and said he was going through “withdrawal” and asked the man to send a racy video. One of the charges alleges Burch threatened to share a photo of one member touching Burch’s penis if the man didn’t send more images.”
So, it’s a gay thing. I didn’t get that at first. I thought it was just stupids being stupid.

What I’d like to know is why Burch isn’t facing charges of either extortion or attempted extortion. Threatening the other guy, if provable, in the manner described appears to me to meet the criteria of UCMJ Article 127 regardless of their respective ranks. And UCMJ Article 80 clearly indicates that attempted crimes can be prosecuted.
If they did not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton after reading her email directing some flunky to delete classification markings from a document, then transmit it over an unsecure network, then why should this guy get burned?
A good example of why we don’t need queers in the military!!
Hondo, do you really expect the Air Force to do anything other than drop the ball and set glaring double standards for their airmen and officers? It has become a disgusting cesspool of shitty leadership and dirty dealing. I’m honestly surprised this guy got in any trouble, seeing as how he’s an O and gay.
So is it safe to say that burch is a dkless wonder? Or would that be going too far?
It never ceases to amaze me how far people will go to let us know how truly stupid they are.
And, never to be Air Force 1st Lieutenant Travis Burch was unavailable for comment.
Hope it was worth it, d1#kweed.
Seems like a very long time to remain a 2nd Lieutenant.
Prior enlisted? Would make sense.
The article indicates he was prior enlisted, but doesn’t seem to indicate precisely when he was commissioned. My theory assumes he was commissioned when on the PSD. However, yours is probably a better guess if he was enlisted while on the PSD and was commissioned afterwards.
Either way, I’m pretty sure that when an officer is under formal criminal investigation all favorable personnel actions are suspended. That would include promotions.
Hondo,
Article said he was commissioned at the end of his Andrews assignment in Mar 2016.
If he was commissioned in Mar 2016 he would have expected promotion last month (Mar 2018). If instead he departed for OCS at the end of assignement in Mar 16 he’d be a couple months shy of his 2 years TIG.
In general promotion to 1Lt/Lt J.G./O2 is two years perfect attendance award. Promotion to Capt/CPT/Lt (O3) is four years undocumented misconduct.
My guess would be an admin hold on any promotion due to being under investigation. But it’s also possible his commander got wind of it and decided to block his promotion.
It can happen – I knew of a guy who I’m pretty sure got passed over for 1LT because of something he did (don’t know the specifics). However, as far as I know it didn’t result in him getting court-martialed and booted – just his becoming a “very senior” 2LT. (smile)
Counter-Point:
We had a 1LT come up hot on a UA while deployed to Bosnia (pre-9/11). Two years later, on the day I ETS’d, I ran into him in the shoppette and he was wearing CPT bars.
Yeah.
We were in the box in 2006 and a 1LT pissed hot for benzoes. Then, when confronted, he claimed some on put it in is whiskey.
What a fucking clown.
He also made CPT but I think that was it.
Biden loves to show is junk. His life has been a testament to his unit.
Read he likes to skinny dip in his home pool, in the presence of his security detail. Talk about duty above and beyond…
Yuck.
It could be worse. Imagine being the Secret Service Agent who has to go into the bathroom and pick up Hillary when she slips in the tub.
Another job Americans won’t do?
I think I saw that on Mike Rowe’s “Dirty Jobs”.
It takes the whole detail to pick that humongous pig up LOL
Why is his security detail watching him? I know somebody should be keeping an eye on him, but his security detail should be looking for other bad guys.
You guys really do know how to destroy someone’s urge for breakfast, don’t you?
“WTD”? Is that like the DRG? I’m afraid to Google it.
Source of commission for the LT? Maybe he knows the Commie LT from USMA?
WTD = Waldo’s Tiny Dick
It’s gotta be the Air Force version of the game “Where’s Waldo?”
But I’m sure WTD stands for “Where’s The Dick?”/smile
World Dick Tour
I imagine that he will now be Penisized with a judicial hearing.
Looks like LT Burch dicked things up for himself.
It’s bad to get caught holding your dick. It’s worse to get caught holding someone else’s.
Bwahahhahahahahah.
I will never say ‘Here, hold my junk’ ever again. Burch has boondoggled that permanently.
Not really sure what the issue is here….
Yeah, it would seem to be mostly consensual stuff. However, maybe not entirely? Maybe some security issues??
Displaying oneself in public places could be problematic especially if on foreign soil. Man, it’s just about impossible to type anything about this case without innuendo, double entendre, or just plain old dirty language!
This is nothing more than personnel in sister services achieving the “Infantry Standard”.
From the attached AP article:
“This was a completely private group that is now embarrassed by Air Force investigators. They’re now being publicly shamed for lawfully and voluntarily sharing their penis pictures.”
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Sometimes this crazy bullshit just writes itself.
But you have to ask why they have to do it in the first place. It’s almost like a club that girls aren’t allowed to…
Oh, wait, it’s gay stuff. Sorry. My bad.
Just wait; soon we will be reading about transgenders in the Air Force sharing pics of their surgically transformed junk on Fakebook. And the Air Force will look the other way, saying it is a private matter.
His lawyer said that it was “a private matter”. He just had to work that one in.
About one hundred eighty seven retorts come to mind, none of which would be approved by the elder members of my family for sharing in public.
I wonder if there is a picture of the LT stepping on his own dick?
This has got to be the most influential 2LT ever, promote immediately.
I think you misspelled flatulent./smile
He has raised (lowered?) the bar for butterbars everywhere.
He does seem to have some persuasive powers above and beyond your usual butter bar. “Here hold my beer, while I take pics of my dick and send them to an AF 2LT. What could go wrong?”
Whiskey Delta = Weak Dick, but WEF is the Tango?
WTF
WE/TF is the Tango? His first name Travis.
I thought we were supposed to celebrate and embrace homosexual deviancy? I’m so confused
Airforce Investigator:”We must study these pictures VERY closely, over and over again….yeah, that’s it…..oooh, send me another one to ‘investigate’, yeahhhhhhh…..”
Hack ran into this guy on Andrews. He asked me for a Dick Pic, so I sent him a photo of Daniel Bernath.
Clearly a violation of the Penal Code
