Are you getting an RV? Isn't that the next stage? Make sure you talk about your RV to anyone you encounter.

Edit: Seriously, anyone and everyone. The long lines at the Class 6 during strategic times of the day will net a captive audience.

"Blues? I don't have any blues anymore. What would I need them for?" - Fenrir, 2007.

Good loving times. :feelsgood:

Are Blues Mondays still a thing, though? Half the time we got out of that by bitching about the possibility of ties getting caught in a laser printer or getting toner on the shirts. Lame, but it actually worked. When I was at Scott, our GC actually got us out of having to ever wear blues for a couple years just because he coughed up some kind of uniform replacement bullshit. (He was prior enlisted, so he probably hated that poo poo as much as we did. I wish I could remember his name. 32-year colonel who was enlisted for the first 11 of that, took over the AMC comm group in 2003 after the previous guy left. I don't wanna name names here, but it irritates me that I can't remember this one's name)

I remember that tried to be a thing around 2003 then kinda went away, then snuck back in around '07? poo poo, it's been a while and I can't keep it all together anymore. I know I had to do it for a while there, before I didn't have to give a gently caress anymore.

The second coming of Skeletor brought them back for the '08-'12 timeframe, Welsh's like second act in office was to shitcan that stupid idea...it was within a couple months of him taking office, which seems like a while but by CSAF standards that's lightning fast and is a hilarious slap in the face of Skeletor.

Welsh technically left it up to the MAJCOMs, but I think even AETC has largely gotten rid of it by this point.

The best feeling on the planet was working watch in blues two nights a week because the commander couldn't when Blues Monday was supposed to be. Especially when he showed up in ABUs to grace us with his morale boosting presence. No one else was wearing blued on mission before that, but boy did we start a trend.

Keesler is the worst everything there is about the air force, except the chow hall. That place owned, because they did so many specialty dinners and poo poo for training. Steak and lobster for everyone!

AFISRA tried to keep us on blues Monday even though we were a tenant at a base under a different majcom that stopped doing it the second it was announced. That lasted about 3 weeks.

I did a lot of work with AFISRA and aside from giving us money, I don't really understand the point of them existing... it seems like it was created under the same concept of JFCOM, except for Intel... and we all know how that turned out. But hey, at least we created another General grade billet.

Welcome to the largest metropolitan area in the world.

If you can get any sort of vehicle at all you travel about an hour west and it's like you fall off the face of the world, just mountains and nothing else. So hiking, camping, some random sports. The mountains go high but there really isn't a lot of interest in hiking them for whatever reason so if you are interested in that stuff, get a guidebook. I know a couple people who go mountain biking pretty regularly. Winter sports are huge, depending on the time of year. I dunno, there really just isn't a lot of outdoors.

If you're going TDY then you'll want to make some friends who know where this stuff is pretty quick.
Nevermind, got hosed out of this trip too. Reason given was I'm already on orders and they apparently won't cancel them to give me a great opportunity like that. What I'm getting out of this is that I need to stop being a team player because it's getting me nowhere.

Yeah last time I did one of those verbal jackass expeditions I think some dude just kept talking about how prevalent false claims are and how women are out to get men, then the entire room agreed that "sexual assault" is blown way out of proportion

the air force is so terrible at all of this, it's like groundhog day as acted out by the guy from memento

False claims aren't as common as people think. People like to rationalize, especially when someone they know/like is involved as a potential assailant. The only time I've seen an accusation of a girl raping a guy is a male subject making a counter-claim. Either way people are getting their pubes plucked out. There's no winner...

Favorite SAPR moment is a toss up between when some guy said "bitches be dumb always saying I raped them after I'd get them drunk and banged em', got me kicked out of Korea" or what was supposed to be a 20 minute briefing after our deployment rape issue turned into an almost hour long slog that resulted in the SAPR lady losing her poo poo and freaking out about how none of us should ever approach a woman again and how she seriously questioned if any of us had actually gotten consent in the past.
