Now we have seen the up to date Army regulation. Is that the most up to date AF one. Can you source it so that we can verify it? :)

To clarify:
Article 78 of the UCMJ states that any person subject to this chapter who, knowing that an offense punishable by this chapter has been committed, receives, comforts, or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial, or punishment shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Article 92 of the UCMJ states that 1) any person subject to this chapter who violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation, 2) having knowledge of any other lawful order issued by any member of the armed forces, which it is his duty to obey, fails to obey the order (so branch of service is irrelevant)
5 C.F.R. 2635.704 of US Code states that all employees of the Department of Defense have a duty to protect and conserve Government property, and to refrain from using or allowing its use for purposes other than those for which it is made available to the public or those authorized in accordance with law or regulation.
This is the specific Air Force regulation on Internet use. It's in caps, because the Air Force does it that way:
- INTERNET USE. GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT,
INCLUDING ELECTRONIC MAIL AND INTERNET SYSTEMS, ALONG WITH THEIR ASSOCIATED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, ARE FOR OFFICIAL AND AUTHORIZED PURPOSES ONLY. COMMANDERS MAY AUTHORIZE INCIDENTAL USE WHICH: DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF OFFICIAL DUTIES; IS OF REASONABLE DURATION AND FREQUENCY; SERVES A LEGITIMATE AIR FORCE INTEREST, SUCH AS,ENHANCING PROFESSIONAL OR MILITARY EDUCATION; AND DOES NOT OVERBURDEN THE SYSTEM OR CREATE ANY SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THE AIR FORCE. A GOVERNMENT SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMMERCIAL INTERNET SERVICES OR FEE-FOR-USE SERVICES MUST BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO USING GOVERNMENT OWNED EQUIPMENT TO ACCESS THESE COMMERCIAL SERVICES. ACCESS TO AIR FORCE NETWORK TERMINAL SERVERS FROM HOME WILL BE LIMITED TO OFFICIAL USE.
UCMJ lists out criminal procedures. Military regulations are established by each department of the Department of Defense. But they're the same, and officers are obligated by Article 92 to follow the regulations of any of the armed forces. Their some differences in regs (like it's unlikely that the Air Force has any regs with respect to submarines, and the Navy unlikely has any regs that deal with B-52 bombers).

It also appears that OrangeMarlin was quoting an outdated version of the Army regulation. An excerpt from the linked 2005 revision follows:
http://docs.usapa.belvoir.army.mil/jw2/xmldemo/r25_1/head.asp
*e. Authorized uses of communication systems. Authorized use includes
brief
communications made by DOD employees while they are traveling on
Government
business to notify family members of transportation or schedule changes. They also include personal communications from the DOD employee's usual workplace that are most reasonably made while at the work place (such as checking in with spouse or minor children; scheduling doctor and auto or home repair appointments; brief Internet searches; e-mailing directions to visiting relatives). Such communications may be permitted, provided they -
*(1) Do not adversely affect the performance of official duties by the employee or the employee's organization. *
*(2) Are of reasonable duration and frequency, and, whenever possible, are made during the employee's personal time, such as during lunch, break, and other off-duty periods). *
