I think the line was "do not take part in anything implying endorsement of, or which would bring disgrace upon, the United States Air Force (I'm sure it's the same for the Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard)."

And, yes, the CinC was the CinC and if you didn't like him/her you kept your mouth shut, especially in public. I was in the Air National Guard and, for Guard members, the same prohibition applied regarding your State Governor.

Sarah Palin was State CinC of the Alaskan Army and Air National Guard. She quit her job without completing her term. Where I stand, that is dereliction of duty.
