And if your official leather jacket gets dirty just vigorously rub.....oh Jeez sorry wrong topic ............................"I too shall go airborne".......

St-Exupery NIGHT FLIGHT for a reminder of when things can really go wrong

More likely a boxing ring

At one time on the Sunday of drills everybody had to be in blues unless they were on alert. I never heard anyone complain mainly I think because all of the crew dogs...booms...navs...pilots etc. had their own employees who were constantly snorting and complaining to THEM about every nickel dime thing in sight. SO..I guess it doesn't seem unreasonable to have your people wear pants, a shirt, and a set of wings rank and a name tag (not even a tie) to work once a week. It wasn't unheard of to fly in blues in a pinch...rare but not unheard of. From all accounts this Schwartz is a pretty stand up guy. Give him a break for Christ sake. Are you all SO ticked off at your leadership that nothing they ask of you is acceptable? By the way, I love it when really young guys take on the crowd. In fact I encourage it. Of course when flying you toe the line. What am I missing here? Sure to soon find out.

I guess I can second this post and add one of those colored flags and the little yellow varmints thumping each other on the head....The painting reminds me of when our painting got banished from the back of the bar at the all ranks club...that was roughly when things started getting more "sporting". Getting an invite into the ladies locker room for a little snort from time to time helped make up for it. HOWEVER...I have been watching you tube with the mid-air singing/dancing crew dogs etc. and it SEEMS that you guys may be having a little more fun than you let on and I didn't realize it but that Died place is in Quatar for Christ sake. There has always been the saluting of staff cars and bitching about haircuts etc. although how a general could write "successfully implemented scarf policy" on an "efficiency" report with a straight face and not get kicked out of the service is a true puzzle. Let them have the small things...they could be spending their time screwing up something really important. ....................."stop it you CZI"......

Any senior officer who precipitates, causes to be made, writes up, etc. an "emergency scarf order" should be instantly FIRED and given a real job working the drive up at Donald's where they belong. This story is second hand......had an old timer boom who was generally in a bad mood at the best of times standing in line at the Offutt BX buying smokes.....approached by some Major who spouts "Sergeant, where is your dickey?" Boom slowly averts gaze downwards over gut and looks at his crotch. Major squeeks mightily but figured he didn't have enough horsepower to summarily arrest the particularly surly looking crew dog....goes scurrying off to find the Air Police. Emergency "scarf crew round up order" put in effect and hasty departure accomplished... "Dammit Gridley............listen up!!!!"

I humbly start my Baseops career by asking if the FIRE EMPIRE is still open in Angeles City?
