Are there actually enough stalls for every squadron to have one? I guess you have to figure out which cadillac your stall is in and stick with that, huh? Or, just lie about your organization. Good luck enforcing this one, Chief!

    Not a reply specifically addressed to you..... But this cultural paradigm shift at AUAB needs to be documented in AF history. For years our Air Force was infected with the wrong idea that overlooking

If a contractor is found in violation of this policy, you will be barred from using the bathrooms upon the first violation.

I will shit wherever/whenever I want! :flipoff:

Jesus, what in the fuck is going on with the Air Force these days? Barring someone from using the bathroom? I don't know whether to laugh or be thoroughly disgusted that some nubnut SNCO actually thinks this is a solution to a problem.

Thank God I was in during the days when a Chief's primary duty was to try to drink everyone under the table! Of course, back then they also smoked, cussed, had flattops and liked to chase tail (of the female variety).

I guess it's all gone completely PC now...mad0071.gif

You guys have my sympathy.

Cheers! M2

Someone take one for the team (sts) and shit/piss themselves because they were "too far from" or "waiting in line for" THEIR latrine. Just one steamer on the sidewalk and this stupid reg will go away.

Maybe they should consider reducing the person to toilet ratio to somewhere below 1:100 in CC. Seriously, that place is nasty.

I forwarded the email to some of y'all documenting the latest in the

36-2903 jihad; the wearing of 550 cord bracelets. Apparently, these are

considered uber verboten due to them not being 'conservative'

(conservative defined as gold or silver). Fun side note, an army field

manual actually describes 550 cord bracelets thusly: "A paracord

bracelet provides an easy way to carry a large amount of cord for an

emergency, whether in combat, as an outdoor survival tool, or merely

when a piece of equipment needs securing."

People in the AF really have a problem with those things? I can vouch that they're very fashionable in the Army lately; I see them all over the place. And they actually can come in handy if you happen to have something that needs tying up!

I'd love to see the LOC for this.

On 24 February, 2012 you were seen exiting a toilet stall not authorized for use by members of our squadron. You were briefed in person by myself, and had received email correspondence from CMSgt Bagodouche regarding the assignment of toilet stalls and which stalls you are allowed to defecate in. Your failure to adhere to this standard leaves you in violation of Article 92, Failure to follow an order or regulation by a non commissioned officer.

You are hereby counseled. I will not tolerate failure to follow simple procedures in my organization. Your disrespect and failure to recognize which stalls can be used has been detrimental to unit morale and the discipline of this organization. You must never again repeat such conduct. If you do, it will be answered with more serious consequences. You will acknowledge receipt of this letter by signing in the designated block. You are advised you have 3 duty days in which to submit any information in rebuttal to these charges.

Nice Vertigo! I laughed my ass off at that one.

Here is another one off subject. One of the guys in my buddies unit actually got an LOC by his SQ/CC for mismanagement of their snack bar because it was not always stocked plum full and all of the labels on the candy bars or cans were not facing directly forward. An LOC seems kinda extreme for something like this! Ahh. Good ol big blue.

Extreme?! He's lucky he didn't get an Article 15. How can the folks on the ground down range expect him to shit in his assigned stall if he can't even be trusted to make sure all the candy bar labels in the snack room are facing forward?

I hate sticking up for Al-Deid but I don't think the latrine email or the combat shower email is about this place. The combat shower email talks about Iraq and the latrine email uses terms that only Army guys would use "section leader". Furthermore, I am out here and I haven't seen any email like that and I use whatever bathroom I need to use. Maybe I'm just late getting the word but some people tend to take everything they read on the internet as fact and I didn't want those type of people to get all spun up.

To add to the latest 'Deid news....

- Still no tobacco.... they tried to get an off-base vendor to set up a tobacco shop on base: Think hookah pipes, flavored tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, etc but that plan fell through.

- Rumors of an impending pork shortage. The host nation has a tight control over the importation or pork products and they want us to use their state-owned vendor. We'll see if it gets work out before they cut off our pork.

- No more one ear-bud policy. As of 1 Mar, you cannot wear earphones while running on the road (ear buds are allowed on the sidewalk). In addition, they are building a running trail on the CC side. Currently, its a little better than a dirt trail but they are trying to get some money to pave it, etc. The idea is to get people off of the roads and onto the trail or into the gym.

- Policy hasn't changed yet on the married folks crossing the threshold.

Wow. That letter just writes itself...STOP giving them ideas!!!

WHAT THE FUK!?!

We had an incident where the Snack Bar ran out of Diet Mountain Dew. The OG said "How can I trust you with nuclear weapons when you can't keep the snack bar stocked with Diet Mountain Dew?!" He was serious...I think. However, he DID make it clear that the snack bar was to be stocked at all times with Diet Mountain Dew before the incident. He also didn't hand out an LOC.

WTFO! A LT doesn't need an LOC to fix the snackbar, a simple ball crushing from a bro will fix that problem. What a d-bag sq/cc.

Yeah, maybe the snacko prioritized nukes over soda. What a fail.

The highest morale I ever witnessed was when we had a rigged up shower in a bombed out building consisting of three sprayers from the kitchen sink which were only open every other day for two one hour periods, we pissed in piss tubes next to the tents and we shit in cut down 55gal barrels and burned it with JP-8.

There was no such thing as PT gear or a chow hall or wifi or telephones. Everyone lived in a GP medium with a dirt floor and heated it with a JP-8 burning stove. The only thing the shirt bitched about was light leaks (including on the flight line) because that could actually get you killed.

The guys on the flight line knew the guys we were supporting because the 160th choppers were right next to the jets and they talked to the operators (who thanked them for keeping the jets in the air) before they went in. The casualties were unloaded next to the jets and rushed to the FIST which was in our compound (in the tower). There were blood stains on the flight line. The fight was real to every USAF person on that base because they saw blood. Everything was about supporting the guys on the ground. No one gave a second thought to where you took a shit.

We've lost the bubble. Time to come home.

Now that brings back memories...Arriving at Rainman's location, he gives me the run down..."Sleep there, shit there, piss there, watch the lights. If you can't sleep you can sit here and watch the rocket fights up in the hills". I still laugh about that shower, the roof was no shit blown off the building and the kitchen sink sprayers were hooked on the wall with a nail. The next morning we go for a drive and there is no shit a grenade laying in the middle of the runway as jets are taking off. No queep, just kill bad guys.

That place would blow your mind if you saw it now. My first trip there was in 2006 and it is unrecognizable even from then.

Best post of the month.

The OG realized it was a bit of overkill right after he said it...and we all had a good laugh over it, but his point was made (he REALLY likes his Diet Mt Dew) and we haven't been out of Diet Dew again...

In the USAF, we used to drink beer and fuck women. Now we drink coke (or in this case diet dew) and fuck each other (sts).

Sad but true.

So true. We eat our own. I like listening to old hands who were in during the eighties!

Jeebus - I'm glad I'm not in YOUR squadron. No beer AND dudes trying to fuck me? No thanks.

I'm with Ram...guess we're in the minority. Thank God.

Klepto - don't forget that we've been wearing Friday T-shirts and our morale patches as if nothing happened. Our SQ/OG/WG leadership is pretty kick ass.

Amazing how something seemingly so minor can mean so much.

Makes it pretty easy for the boss to say...

"Of course I'm going to ignore those stupid rules about t-shirts and patches. All you fuckers have to do is set the bar when you're in the jet so we can demonstrate to the rest of the USAF what happens when you focus on the important shit. Performance, not patches, is what we're going to worry about in this squadron/ops group/wing."

Rainman, that's exactly what happened. Surprise surprise...we have a pretty legit wing with high morale.

We have the same thing up here in the great white north. Except our squadron and ~40 aircrew are but a small pond in a ocean of missileer queep.

Part 2 is out.
