Clark Griswold Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 A lot of tough talk on “Accelerate Change or Lose,” to Russia and China yet waste time on this PC BS. AF leadership is probably just trying to preemptively toe the line with one of the many “priorities” of the incoming administration. Probably so as to leading the turn with the new administration. If a somewhat sterile and strictly professional culture is what is required now due to where the overall culture is then so be it, state that plainly and clearly and don’t try to pretend your still keeping the old traditions and culture. It’s just awkward and depressing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mightymighty Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 So does this mean they'll finally do something about this? or are we just focusing on race, religion, etc.? Asking for a friend. 1 3
Smokin Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I would bet that as Clark said, this is a self-protection insurance measure from the future admin. That way the SecAF can immediately say "Ma'am, we're already on it, I have the fun police scouring the AF as we speak." In general, if you're going to get a punishment, better to be from your immediate commander than from his boss's boss.

Prosuper Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I guess MX and Cop Sq's will comply also, but they were never issued morale anything to begin with. Old Soviet saying, hows the new boss? Same as the old boss. Edited January 7, 2021 by Prosuper content

hindsight2020 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 well, airline pencil tabs got MAGNUM'd out here today. Not an airline guy, but considering the bent of the SECAF letter was the presumed liability of whatever ethno/race-identifying historical patches were still in presumed circulation, homing-on-jam on the airline/"outside agencies" thing was the weirdest flex to say the least. 🤷♂️ 1 2

HuggyU2 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Well, there really is enough airline stuff going on in the squadron already. There's nothing else anyone in the unit can come up with to put on the tab that's better?

It has to do with our facilities being state grounds and alcohol not being permitted on state property. I don't believe it's every state, but I've been Guest help in two other states that have the same rules. It seems to highly depend on who TAG is at the time. If TAG is Army, then it tends to be a higher priority to enforce...

brabus Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 It’s still a thousand times better than AD, despite the bullshit alcohol policies that exist in some places. And you’re crazy if you think there aren’t creative solutions out there... 1
