December 2, 201213 yr COMACC issued a supporting policy when the AF policy came out. Don't know about any other MAJCOM. So until that is rescinded, it's technically still a problem in ACC. Figured I had to be missing something.
December 2, 201213 yr I do love that it took someone with balls enought to ask the question and the said missileer will never buy a drink in front of me if I knew who he/she was.
December 3, 201213 yr -----Original Message----- From: ACC/CC Commander Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 5:13 PM To: A bunch of WG/CCs and other staffers Subject: ACC Uniform Guidance Commanders, As you have all heard by now, CSAF does not intend to reissue the policy mandating the wear of Blues on Mondays. Effective immediately, uniform wear in ACC units will be at the discretion of Wing Commanders. NAFs and other staffs may set uniform policy for their respective headquarters. At Headquarters ACC uniform wear will be commensurate with the expected duty that day. For example, if in the performance of your duties you interact with counterparts who normally wear business suits or business smart you will wear Blues. Otherwise, ABUs or flight suits will be the normal duty uniform. As always, Commanders and supervisors should ensure that our Airmen present a professional image and possess/maintain properly fitting uniforms. If you have any questions on this guidance please contact the ACC Director of Staff at ... Gen Mike Hostage Commander, ACC (edit: remove phone #) Edited December 3, 201213 yr by stract
December 3, 201213 yr As always, Commanders and supervisors should ensure that our Airmen present a professional image and possess/maintain properly fitting uniforms. That sentence needed to be in there? Is this the patches and T-shirts are still a no-go qualifier?
December 3, 201213 yr Got to work this morning and found the Chucktown standard still in effect. There was an email sent not by either of the WG/CCs, but by Public Affairs stating that we are to continue to wear blues because there hasn't been an official rescindence of policy issued.

December 3, 201213 yr AETC = No policy change yet. Standard. Give them 6-9 weeks to form a committee that will make a recommendation to form an approval committee to release a recommendation to the AETC/CC in 6-9 months...it will sit in his exec's inbox for an additional 6-9 weeks and be denied due to improper memo formatting...

December 3, 201213 yr It's WELSH people. WTF in the wide, wide world of sports do the inhabitants a small component state of the United Kingdom have to do with this?
December 3, 201213 yr So if the policy letters expire after a certain amount of time, that means that Blues Monday actually expired a few years ago. I believe a certain Lt Colonel owes me an apology for wearing a flight suit a couple months ago.

December 4, 201213 yr Altus isn't changing. The 97th Air Mobility Wing and Altus AFB currently plans no change to policy regarding the wear of the service uniform on Mondays (Blues Mondays). Repeat: There is no planned change to Blues Monday.
December 4, 201213 yr Source? I'll get the email from my buddy tomorrow (he's out today).......... The original came from Gen Wolfenbarger's exec and was sent out to the respective commanders/directors here at WP.....
December 4, 201213 yr Altus isn't changing. I think that goes for AETC as a whole. Here at Pcola, word from a staff meeting was ' to not get our hopes up.' Just a few more months. Done with this command for-ev-er.
December 5, 201213 yr STRATCOM dropped it for all assigned personnel. The Navy, Army, and Marines got to play in these games with us.
December 5, 201213 yr I think that goes for AETC as a whole. Here at Pcola, word from a staff meeting was ' to not get our hopes up.' Just a few more months. Done with this command for-ev-er. Word at Little Rock is the decision has already been delegated by AETC/CC to WG/CCs in verbal guidance over the phone, but the word didn't get out until after COB on Friday. Next Monday should be no blues unless your WG/CC decides on extra flair.
December 5, 201213 yr I wouldn't hold your breath for Pcola... they are terrible about unnecessary ass pain. I'm glad I won't have to spend more then a few weeks there between KABQ and KVAD.

December 5, 201212 yr Ramstein is now blues Monday on the first Monday of the month between May and October, or something like that.

Word came out today. Charleston is now officially blues-free
