SAN ANTONIO, TX - On the heels of what military officials are calling a series of "crash and burn" attempts by Airmen to hit on women at local bars, the Air Force is offering all personnel E-1 through E-6 a free course in the art of picking up women.

The course, titled "Aim Higher: How to Score 10s by Upping Your Game," is a six-week program in which aspiring pickup artists learn the art of seduction. It is provided by the Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA) at several stateside and overseas military installations.

"We've always known the importance of teaching our young Airmen how to succeed on the flight line," said AFSVA spokesperson Martha Fischer. "Where we haven't done such a great job is teaching them how to succeed after hours, out in the shark-infested dating pool."

"Aim Higher" courses cover the basics of pickup art, such as approaching HBs (Hot Babes), scanning women for indicators of interest (IOIs), and making light physical contact (also known as "kino", short for kinesthetics).
