December 10, 201212 yr EASYCOM will still be rocking the blues. Funny anecdote: About six months ago the CDR decides he likes the AF's blues monday idea, so he adopts the policy. Now everybody (Army, Navy, etc.) is wearing the "Class B" on Mondays because of us. So, what do we do? Turn around and shitcan the policy. Absolute poetry. No wonder the other services can barely hide their contempt. Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes... Edited for coherence. Edited December 10, 201212 yr by Spoo
December 11, 201212 yr I can't imagine what it's like, but it must be pretty tough to be a Vikings fan. I applaude your dedication.
December 11, 201212 yr I can't imagine what it's like, but it must be pretty tough to be a Vikings fan. I applaude your dedication. at least he's not a cowboys fan. Makes him okay in my book.
December 11, 201212 yr AFGSC has decided to keep blues Mondays WTF? Why? Morale was suspected to be improving?
December 14, 201212 yr My blues pants button kept getting more and more desperate with each week that passed. Just when I had no hope left...! -my ANAM test results were WAY high after hearing this news. The battle of the bulge can now be fought by velcro alone!
December 21, 201212 yr AFGSC Command just announced (via Facebook of all things) that they are getting rid of mandatory Blues Mondays... ...starting 1 January That's leadership for you. Do what everyone else is doing, but only weeks later

Do what everyone else is doing, but only weeks later Kudos to holding onto a tradition longer than everyone else? O_O
December 21, 201212 yr Kudos to holding onto a tradition longer than everyone else? O_O Some AETC bases have Blues Monday.
December 21, 201212 yr Some AETC bases have Blues Monday. Everyone at Randolph (non-flyers at least) have been wearing Blues on Monday like clockwork
December 21, 201212 yr ...no more blues on Wednesday Thankfully I only wore blues on Mondays... but I know what you mean. Any other UPT bases axe blues?
December 21, 201212 yr Any other UPT bases axe blues? Laughlin just got rid of 'em. First hand account of the commander saying, "Well I was going to get rid of them if we had a unanimous vote." One person out of the auditorium voted to keep them... but yes they are gone!
December 21, 201212 yr One person out of the auditorium voted to keep them... but yes they are gone! Flyer or non-flyer?
December 21, 201212 yr Flyer or non-flyer? Prolly a guy about to retire...his way of giving everyone the middle finger as he's walking out the door.
December 21, 201212 yr "Well I was going to get rid of them if we had a unanimous vote." See... I told you guys this was a democracy!!
December 21, 201212 yr Announced at the staff meeting this week is Vance will be keeping blues on Monday, at least for now.
December 22, 201212 yr Announced at the staff meeting this week is Vance will be keeping blues on Monday, at least for now. WTFO? Why are 'leaders' doing this? That's a flyer deciding on his own that Blues Monday still makes sense. That's just weird.
December 22, 201212 yr Because at Vance any on flying status didn't have to wear blues, so basically once you started UPT till the time you PCS'd the only time your blues saw sunlight was if you screwed up or graduation day. New OG/CC took over and decided if you weren't scheduled to fly you were in blues about 2 months ago. Guess they have to make up for the years that they had it good.

December 22, 201212 yr This guy?: https://www.vance.af....io.asp?id=16208 Hm. He cleared me for my first ever Viper solo at Luke a ways back. Great IP and really chill.
December 22, 201212 yr He's shielded the flying squadrons from base-wide uniform shenanigans in November. He definately earned some points in my book for that. FWIW, I've never worn blues as a student or an instructor at Vance, and only recently did anyone come down really hard on Friday patches, morale patches, etc. The last crop of wing leadership was a good bunch, IMO.
December 22, 201212 yr This guy?: https://www.vance.af....io.asp?id=16208 Great guy and very chill...
