Majestik Møøse Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Bump....still not enough activity on the Facebook thread, and Travis is about as as a three dollar bill. Travis will stay that way as long as AMC keeps rewarding it with money and recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arg Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 One of my motorcycle riding troops got told at the gate today here in sunny Cannon, that the extra reflective belt around his back-back no longer cut the mustard. The "new" requirement is that the horrible dark spot covering your back will now warrant it's own entire and full up reflective VEST. Someone just got a OPR bullet for improving the safety of the Motorcycle Safety Program. Probably the same safety jackass that dropped the speed limit on the perimiter road from 45 to 35. If you see someone in an old dually doing 20mph it's me being extra safe. I slow down to 5 when I get on main base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercster Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That's also standard at Little Rock. Infact they tried to push wrapping your vest around your backpack because the backpack wasn't reflective. They backed down when we pointed out we can't have any other color backpack in uniform. Booyah. I'd be half tempted to go get a bright pink reflective Hello Kitty pack and put some glitter on it.

ForgotPassword Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Are all of these reflective material requirements standard for everyone on base, civilians included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarheadBoom Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Is that an iPod/iPhone holder? CAC holder. It's an Icon vest from their "Mil-Spec" line; they're made to be "friendly" for .mil motorcycle riders and their requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid a car comes driving through the clinic and the SSgt gets hit because he didn't have his disco belt on... Too early in the week to start drinking?

TrainerModel Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Rumor has it AC's have to have leashes on their crews at deployed locations. At least they're the retractable type leashes, and they connect to a body harness thing so thats good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now, flashing shoes mandatory dusk-dawn, but not during daylight, so you actually have to carry a 2nd pair of shoes with you if your workday spans both daylight and night. Shit, now I just gave them an idea...ah fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash95 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Here's another -worthy gem I found checking my webmail today...thank God I'm TDY. Emphasis and bracketed comments mine. From: XXXXXX Capt USAF XXXXXXX/ADO Subject: Reflective belts... XXXXXXX, Per the XXXXXX Commander guidance, ALL personnel will start wearing their reflective belts beginning XXXXXXX and continue wearing them until XXXXXXX. This means that whenever you're here in the squadron or anywhere else on base, (i.e. Food Court, BX, Commissary, etc.), you'll be wearing your reflective belt. ... If you don't have a reflective belt, [props if you've dodged it this long!] you can either talk to Life Support or go talk to the Group RA. Make sure you have your reflective with you when you leave work today because come Monday, you'll be expected to wear it when you report to work. V/R, XXXXXXX So everywhere, all the time, indoors, outdoors, night and day. Hope the folks who live on base enjoy wearing their disco belts to sleep and in the shower. If I were back there I'd be choking myself...with my disco belt, of course. Oh wait, never mind, I wore mine to a rubiks cube party a little while back and traded it for a sweet orange sombrero.

Wing exercise kicking off on Monday? If so I can see why the email was sent out. They're crazy (*ahem* crazier) when it comes to reflectivity during ORE/ORIs. If no exercise starting Monday... fuck me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
