capt4fans Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 1,113 and counting. Although my own reflective belt has been put away for years, I'll happily support the cause and join. Would the internet equivalent of 'zapping' a transient aircraft be posting links to the "I Hate Reflective Belts" page on the Air Force's own Facebook page? I'm no chicken. It's been done.

Cell Dweller Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 They should mandate that the missileers wear belts coming in and out of the hole (sts). Then the space cadets would join the movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CA Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Although my own reflective belt has been put away for years, I'll happily support the cause and join. Would the internet equivalent of 'zapping' a transient aircraft be posting links to the "I Hate Reflective Belts" page on the Air Force's own Facebook page? This one seems to be the real Air Force Facebook page. That other one looks more like it's run by a Fan. Either way it should be posted on both!

Him: Joined...word spreading. The guy posted a message on FB, our influence is strong: You, a few posts earlier: Toro, I never thought I'd see that group here. I created that group on FB. Please send as many invites as possible. I'm out of people that Ican think of that are AF related to add to the group. It started out as about 10 people. I'm hoping to hit the 1,000 mark before the end of the year now. To all you who join. and... Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew that Baseops was a powerful monster, had no idea that it could triple the group membership in less than 48 hours. Please continue to send this group along to all your friends. It just sounded like he needed a hand putting 2+2 together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt4fans Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is going great. The shoe clerks are already out of the woodwork and trying to make us feel bad about this group. Here's the quote from Mr. REMF himself.... Chris Heaney "The only way for me to comment on this pathetic group is to join. This is stupidity at its best. Regs and Standards are out for a freaking reason. To even have a board and complain about how dumb something so small and insignificant as a reflective belt shows that none of you have anything else better to do in your life." Chris, you're a REMF, a shoe and have now been blocked from posting anything further in this group. He's now been blocked from the group. And his crony who had this to say...misspellings left for effect. Benjamin Karl Rostel Reid "I have to agree with Chris and here's why; While on deployment to a multinational base (where the only people who had to wear reflective belts were USAF personnel) 1 person got hit by a vehicle. A guy from CE who wasn't paying attention and wasn't wearing his belt. The AF recruits alot of really bright kids, the flipside of that is most wouldn't recognize common sense if it hit 'em like a 6pax. If you wanna complain why don't you ask why we wear high tech camoflage? Is it to blend in to the office/ airfield/ bulldozer/ bus/ ATC tower/ BX/ hanger/ maintianence bay/ manhole/ GATR site/ F16/ chow hall/ etc. etc. etc. etc.?" Benjamin, you're in the same boat.

Toro, so who buys drinks when we meet. I'd never let you pay for a round either. That could get to be a problem. The best thing is one of the clerks wife's commented. She's gone as well.

BFM this Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) HOSS: I need 250 "IHRB" morale patches, pronto. Edited October 27, 2009 by BFM this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt4fans Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 HOSS: I need 250 "IHRB" morale patches, pronto. Just make them pen patches so the flyers can wear them as non-approved morale patches. You know, come to think of it, I might have to get with someone on this. Start selling the pen patches that have "IHRB". Kinda like the "LPA" pen patch. But what the big question is, what color? Do you go subdued, so it doesn't look like it's there, or do you try and make it just like a neon yellow RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntledemployee Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Quick, we need someone to craft a very clever entry on Wikipedia (I'm not very clever).

Deid Shoeclerk "You're going to have to take off the unauthorized morale patch!" Me "Why, it's apart of my 360 of reflectivity." We had a gal out here who had a morale patch that was just a little piece of reflective belt. Got REMF'd by some full-bird at the chow hall. Later, same full-bird caught her wearing it again at the Muff..."Well, I guess it's OK in here, but take it off before you leave". She said the best part was, her and another operator were trading war stories about dropping bombs, and she could see this Col (JAG-type) motioining at her while we was telling his best REMF war-story. She told us she was going to have a bunch made up and sent to us when she got home...we're still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Navy P-3 crew we kept running into over there that had a round yellow reflective belt material patch that said GARB in the middle. We finally cornered them to ask and they said "GARB..you know, like clothes..." Yeah, bullshit we said. My guesses were Goddamn Airforce Reflective Belt, or Gay Ass Reflective Belt, but only they know for sure. Me "Why, it's apart of my 360 of reflectivity." How the hell did I forget about that...my reflective belt AND my backpack's reflective belt. Oh well, just heard we're headed back in our AEF bucket. Should be nice.
