Clark Griswold 1,026 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightymighty 19 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin 231 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hindsight2020 603 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HuggyU2 2,100 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
