Shaved mine off yesterday in London.

    Fellas, It's been a turbulent March--for people and mustaches alike. I created this gem a few weeks ago when a friend of mine attending SOS confirmed that a champion of the victim culture complai

  • Funny you should post that. Years ago, I'm at Carlos Murphys West in Tucson for a 4th of July soiree. I'm with another A-10 dude and somehow we end up taking to this liberal couple. When they find out

There are still some great CCs out there. I grew a pretty rediculous stache (Brabus can vouch) and when our OG saw it he looked at me and said "Nice." I felt like I had banged my kindergarten teacher.

Our OG had a pretty legit stache. He's one of the good ones.

Mandatory Mustache March for all MAJCOM commanders - From the Air Force Association Facebook page:

Gen. Mark A. Welsh III just spoke at AFA's Air Warfare Symposium and he announced that the month of March will officially be known as Mustache March. He asked each of his MAJCOM Commanders to participate in the mustache competition and at the end of the month he will announce the winner of the best mustache.

It's like.. he gets it!? Too bad everyone underneath him still doesn't.

Still waiting on the MAJCOM Supp before we are allowed colored shirts/patches/etc.

Wg/CCs will wait for specific direction from MAJCOM/CCs to be allowed to implement Mustache march.

Toro, you think this will actually be pushed down from the top?

This will TOTALLY distract everyone from the RIF/VSP/TERA debacle.

It was a reference to the Friday shirt authorization.

Might wanna reset the circuit breaker and lockheed fix the sarcasm detector.

I love how Robin Olds is the poster child for the new USAF sanctioned mustache March but absent is the real history behind it.

"It (mustache) became the middle finger I couldn't raise in PR photographs. The mustache became my silent last word in the verbal battles I was losing with HHQ on rules, targets and fighting the war. -Robin Olds

Count me out. I'll be damned if I'll take part in one more diluted "we are all equal" USAF tradition. 12 yrs was a good run but the new MM for me is not growing one at all and calling out the people who don;t even understand the real non-censored history behind it.

Anyone else pissed off that AF leadership seems to be more concerned with promoting Mustache March and messages of mutual respect than with being honest and forthcoming with regards to force shaping?

Nope, not pissed at all. This was at the AFA symposium, so its not like there was anything of substance talked about anyways. Better for the CSAF to use the stump to try and rally the troops than to try and justify bloated, politically driven programs.

Tell you what...it's better than nothing. Does it solve all the big problems? That's a big fat no. But it shows to me that some senior leadership, at least, is not completely tone deaf and out of touch.

Not directing this at anyone in particular, as I am guilty of this as well, but Gen Welsh has actually made moves to increase morale in spite of the Air Force's dismal outlook (budgets/force shaping, etc.) Yeah things aren't perfect and we got a long way to go, but thank God Skeletor II is done destroying our Air Force and we got someone who seems to genuinely care.

AFSOC policy memo prohibiting mustaches in 5, 4, 3...

Naw, but it will keep in line with recent redundant memos and probably list off quotes from 36-2903
