Tonka Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This just in, the threshold rule (men entering women's rooms and vice versa) has be rescinded. Eerily, this is not a big deal out here... almost like this place has "normalized." I was living on the edge last night and walked: across 2 roads, from my humble abode half way across the CC, to the BRA and back... without... *gasp... a single reflective belt (not even 1 for my backpack) on. Not 1 fvck was given... and no one was hurt... and no one stopped me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 1 fvck was given... and no one was hurt... and no one stopped me. I'm sure I am just a bad apple, but in the last month I have not worn a reflective belt once in CC. No one has said a word and I am definitely not alone. Culture change from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzl337 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Didn't wear a reflective belt the entire time I was there last year, not a word was said to me. Also had a stache that was pretty far out of regs that garnered me plenty of dirty looks, but nothing actually said to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercster Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hopefully chopped chicken returns soon...It is really nice though, to not have to worry about the dumb reflective belt. Maybe 10% of folks I see wear one and *gasp* accidents have not gone up. Have we been lied to?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at left, looking at their feet, to the nose-in-the air at the right. So....) "What kind of ######ed is your dependent? I'm ######ed This ######ing Sucks Is She ######ing Serious?

lj35driver Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I saw a forty something year old woman walking her chihuahua through the bra last month and wondered WTF was going on. With all the new dorms and facility construction going on, that place is looking way too permanent. I took a few pics of the BX and food court and friends who had never been to the Deid thought they were taken at some stateside base. The last time I saw that level of permanency happening at one of our Middle East locations was at PSAB about a year before we left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoopyeast Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I saw a forty something year old woman walking her chihuahua through the bra last month and wondered WTF was going on. Saw the same thing earlier in the year, along with the high-chairs at the chow hall, 150 school kids on the ramp as I was trying to taxi out for a "combat" mission, etc. That was also the same day the sky cop dog was barking at the balloons flying from the stage at the BRA.

Toro Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 So the article says they're bringing in dependents, but they still only list the location as "Southwest Asia" Oh yeah, OPSEC first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
