BOOTS

Come on, people, give us something that makes us proud to wear, not something that looks like we just stepped out of a clown car. Why not stick with the tan boots? They are required in the AOR, so just make everyone wear them and cut the crap and wasted money on testing all these stupid green boots! I swear the uniform board tries to pass off the most horrible and stupid-looking uniform changes they can think of!

LEADERS OUT OF TOUCH

Well, we all remember talking about the study they did last year and what a waste of time and money it would be. Apparently we were right, based on what they said they “fixed” and the fact that not many if any changes have been noticed. So, what do they do? Waste more time and money on another Air Force “tour” to study our “time.”

Although it’s gotten better the last few years … the surveys themselves are a drain on my time.

I think I’ve done four surveys so far this year. I get more and more sarcastic on each one, so it’s starting to be a little fun.

THE PLAN FOR UAVS

Wow, I know this sounds cool. But as a 47-year-old U.S. citizen I think big government will abuse the initial purpose of this technology. Trust me, you will have machine dragonflies spying into your bedroom window, watching you in a private setting!

PDA WHILE IN UNIFORM

Is there an Air Force Instruction that lays down the rules on personal digital assistants, or does this fall under the category of “Unwritten Rule”?
