Air Force Chief of Staff Announces New Uniform and Grooming Standards

I wonder if this is something coming from the new Secretary of Defense or something the Chief of Staff of the Air Force had previously planned to announce?:

Career field identifier patches and 57 colors of nail polish are out, gig lines and short hair are in, according to an Air Force order that reverses dress and appearance regulations loosened just one year ago. “I expect compliance with these updates as the military duty of the total Air Force,” Air Force chief of staff Gen. David Allvin wrote in a memo Friday.

A copy was posted Wednesday on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page, where it quickly accumulated more than 700 comments. Allvin banned without comment the career field identifier patches worn on airmen’s camouflage-pattern utility uniforms. He also reduced the permitted colors of nail polish from 60 to three; now only “clear, or French or American Manicure” are allowed. He also clarified that hair may not touch the ears and all male airmen not on a waiver must be clean shaven at the start of each duty day.

But what if someone is the best sniper in the world and they just have to wear black nail polish because they self identify that way? We would miss out on the world’s best! And their choice of mandatory polish says nothing whatsoever about their mental health, or their ability to do their job or get along with others, especially under the most stressful exigent conditions!

So glad the world is healing.

With the Nazi salut epidemic sweeping American at this moment, you should change your military uniforms to look like this.

Some day when AI takes over all rage bait, it will end.
And then KM will have to make himself useful another way.

The real Rage Bait is Donald Trump – blaming DEI and Biden for the air crash yesterday – all the while firing FAA air traffic controllers, leading to severe shortage of staff, a week before this accident.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/local-columnist-blamed-trump-for-future-crashes-just-hours-before-helicopter-airliner-collision/

Professor of Political Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and a prominent author and commentator — went viral for a tweet slamming Trump over his handling of air traffic safety that he posted hours before the collision.

On Wednesday morning — 12 hours before the crash — Schaller wrote:

An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called “buyouts” and other attacks on federal employees won’t help.

Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.

Based on the information available, Trump had nothing to do with this.

The crash was not dependented on the number of future air traffic controllers.

If you want to assign blame:

The helicopter on a training flight: They should have clearly seen the plane. They didn’t answer the radio calls from a concered tower. They may not have been flying correctly at that location. Let’s see who was flying. If it a Muslim black tranny, it will become pretty easy to assign blame.

The air traffic controller: They showed concern over the radio to the helicopter a couple of times, which didn’t answer, but gave no direction to the plane, which could be contacted, as they drew closer. It seems she should have been a little more proactive. Anybody know what the correct procedure here should be? We do know the controller was a woman. And, in the age of DEI, white males have to earn their position through competence while everyone else does not necessarily have to.

The Age of DEI is coming to an end, but it is not over. It will take some time to remove the diversity hires and build a “colorblind and merit-based system”.

The future outlook may not be as diverse, but it will be more trustworthy. And anyone not a white male will be automatically worthy of equal trust and respect.

Update:

Air traffic control has been chronically understaffed so the same air traffic controller was doing both planes and helicopters.

This would ideally be a job for two people.

If only the budget for controllers was more important than còndoms for Hamas or non-binary voters in Bangladesh.

Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.

It will take a years before Trump can undo Biden’s damage, though the media will still blame Trump, as there can never be responsibility for failure assigned to any leftist agenda.

It only took Trump 1 day to fire Air Traffic Controllers leading to short staff and forcing one controller to do job of two people, Chickenhead.
It was Trump who started this blame game by blaming everybody else except for himself, the real culprit.

Just look at this prediction, just 12 hours BEFORE the accident.
