Are you guys kidding me? Welch did exactly what we asked for. EXACTLY. He made it an Air Force wide policy that he didn't approve the blues on Monday as a symbol of professionalism. He made his statement, and just as you nay-sayers are always going on about, he left it up to the lower level leadership to interpret and implement. Therefore, the leadership closest to you had the chance to make the decision, as opposed to the chief of staff of the Air Force telling you what uniform to wear. Most of the leaders have already reversed the blues Monday policy. Others I'm sure will follow suit. Yet, all of a sudden, it's a fault that he didn't mandate the change service wide. I am frankly surprised he took the time with this menial issue considering all that is on his plate. This shows that he actually has a pulse on his people, which is a huge accomplishment for a dude of his rank. After condemning a high ranking guy who makes a sweeping policy you don't like, are you really going to then condemn another man who tries to fix it but doesn't touch your sector as fast as you would like? Get off your collective high horse and get with the program. Big Blue isn't here to serve your sense of pride. Welch heard our call and basically gave the previous CSAF a big old back hand politically, yet some of you still complain. Let us celebrate what he has done for us and wish him well to the future. I for one will enjoy not wearing my blues in the upcoming month or so. For those who still can't see the bright side... go cry in a corner. No one cares.

It's WELSH people.

Always thought bitching about the direction this country is headed was reserved for crusty retirees. Here I am in my 30's and I can't believe this shit. I think it's less about political parties and more about the entitled baby boomer generation that is now, for the most part, running (and ruining) this country by trading in long term American prosperity for short term personal goals. Or maybe it's because we've just been so rich and spoiled for so long we don't have a solid persective on what we're going to lose. I don't know. Higher taxes will only lead to more gov't spending. Might take a huge crisis to bring this country back together, until then I don't see anyone in Washington making any changes that will really affect this issue.

That's such a cop out.

Are you talking about before the election? Now that Obama won, the GOP is not going to get as much as they could have before the election. I think there have been some differences in opinion on what is considered budget cuts. The Democrats are trying to raise the budget in a number of areas while cutting in other places. Just for example, if you increase the budget 1 billion dollars in welfare and cut defense spending 1 billion dollars, you didn't cut the budget at all. You are in the same place. You can't say you are decreasing the budget by spending money somewhere else.

Let's not forget all of the fantastic CSAFs that were between McPeak and Schwartz; Fogleman and Jumper are my two favorites.

. He did the right thing. If your command chooses otherwise, that's on them. He left it open for LEADERSHIP. Weird I know.

Welsh had the ability to squash this entire thing, without any of this stupid ambiguity. But he didn't. Perhaps we need some more USAFA speeches!

How bout FUCK UAVs

Monday FOD walk attendance just plummeted.

Nope, sure didn't. Sorry, Velsoprints, I'm a huge knob goblin. I'll be in time out for a while.

My first thought after reading, "Me fail enlish? That's unpossible!" As to the actual content, I always had good luck responding with, "Great! Would you mind giving me the name and phone number of your OIC? Thanks." That will usually get them in gear, and if not you will have a good opportunity to interact with the non-rated officers on base.

or commensurate

Heh.

Soon it will gain self awareness......and learn how to flare.

I'd rather see the videos of him doing this shit at SERE.

And 18 hours after the best news I've heard in a long time comes the first complaint; aircrew standard. This is why we can't have nice things.

AMC to increase it to Monday's AND Tuesday's and alternating Friday's. Memo pending... (sarcasm before anyone freaks out)
