October 15, 201213 yr Wow, I'm glad AFCENT was worrying about this instead of the 6-month medal backlog. Not really a big deal for officers, but the E-dogs that hack the mish are getting bent over when it comes to promotion points. Make sure you take care of your people, right? Right.
October 15, 201213 yr I give it a week before some idiot ruins it for everyone. I bet AAFES pushed this change. They needed a return on their investment of aisles after aisles of female civilian clothing.

People have been complaining about this asinine policy for years. AFCENT finally does the right thing and delegates the rule to the most sensible level, and pointless bitching about unrelated topics immediately ensues.
October 15, 201213 yr How long until someone screws this up? I give this one week. As soon as SrA Yummybritches walks out to the BRA in her ass hugging short shorts with her lower back tattoo hanging out we are right back into reflective polyester.

Sounds like scooter is part of the problem. He even has one-off metrics. What do we do about SrA Yummybritches? If your answer is "nothing," fair enough. If your answer is something else, you are a problem on this board. Would you enforce some kind of uniform standard or would you let anything go? I'd seriously like to read your answer.

Your complaint is ridiculous. Do you really think the AFCENT Awards and Decs division has been slacking in processing medals because they were the ones coming up with a new uniform policy?

SOF, I've been doing this for a lot of years now. These big AOR bases are the Epcot Center of Air Force bullshit (I didn't make that one up, but it fits). The AF as a whole subscribes to the "one person shits their pants and we all wear diapers" philosophy. I could give a flying fuck if Yummypants shows up in daisy dukes or you show up in assless chaps. Give me my three drinks and leave me the fuck alone. My point, which you so eloquently missed, is that all it takes is one person to be "inappropriate" in either leaderships, host nations, some bible thumpers, whoevers viewpoint and the whole thing will implode. So, what were you saying again?

October 15, 201213 yr after 2651 posts, this thread finally gets good! ETA: The host nation pushes a lot of dumb shit (immigration policy), but I will bet my three beers for a lifetime that it's American leadership who gets butthurt about something someone wears and ruins it for everyone.

October 16, 201213 yr Give me my three drinks and leave me the fuck alone. Sheer brilliance. Might be my new signature line.
October 16, 201213 yr Wow, it's been 4 months since the last post here. Just today, the commander authorized civilian clothes for all military on base. How long until someone screws this up? My first response was, "NFW!" but after reading the rest of the discussion, apparently this is legit. I honestly can't believe it! Dare I say that common sense is finally making a return to the USAF? I wasn't aware we were having trouble with recruiting/retention (yet).
October 16, 201213 yr There hasn't been a Corona since he has been CSAF has there? I would not be surprised at all if he has quietly told GOs to "rethink your priorities"
October 16, 201213 yr There hasn't been a Corona since he has been CSAF has there? I would not be surprised at all if he has quietly told GOs to "rethink your priorities" Fall CORONA was a week and a half ago (it's always the week of the home service academy football game).
October 16, 201213 yr I just got back from the DFAC in my cutoff sweatpants and mesh shirt. I may have ruined it. Edited October 16, 201213 yr by sky_king
October 16, 201213 yr I just got back from the DFAC in my cutoff sweatpants and mesh shirt. I may have ruined it. DFAC?
October 16, 201213 yr DFAC? No shit. Chow hall. Nothing "dining" about a TCN in a beard net behind the grill.
October 16, 201213 yr Yeah, but the Services folks' pussies get hurt when you call it a chow hall. Try to be more sensitive guys.
October 16, 201213 yr Dare I say that common sense is finally making a return to the USAF? I wasn't aware we were having trouble with recruiting/retention (yet). Slow down, slow down...
October 16, 201213 yr SOF, I've been doing this for a lot of years now. These big AOR bases are the Epcot Center of Air Force bullshit (I didn't make that one up, but it fits). The AF as a whole subscribes to the "one person shits their pants and we all wear diapers" philosophy. I could give a flying ###### if Yummypants shows up in daisy dukes or you show up in assless chaps. Give me my three drinks and leave me the ###### alone. My point, which you so eloquently missed, is that all it takes is one person to be "inappropriate" in either leaderships, host nations, some bible thumpers, whoevers viewpoint and the whole thing will implode. So, what were you saying again? What I was saying, is that the host nation gets a vote if you are in their country. As does leadership if you are in their Air Force. You claim that you have been doing this for some years now. Your post does not reflect that you have been. So if your Airman is doing something that offends the host nation or leadership (I'll leave the caustic religious inference out) what are you going to do about it? You're the veteran, you've been doing this for years. You want your three beers and to be left alone? That is not leadership. It appears that you have no idea what is going on in your AO aside from your tactical ops. We need more from leaders.
