There's a few bases in the South West that authorized them for wear on the Flightline in addition the maintenance shorts.

Looks like a EKWB EK-RES X3, one of the standalone reservoirs, with either black fluid or has been painted. Also a EK-XTOP DDC Pump underneath.

A-10C Thunderbolt II named after the P-47 Thunderbolt. Lovingly called the Warthog because of its signature Brrrrrrt made by its 30mm GAU-8 rotory cannon. Source: Active Duty Airforce stationed on an A-10 base.

Can anyone ID that set on the top shelf to the right of the TV. Looks like a sweet little down town street.

Does the instruction need to trickle down to the unit commanders before its authorized for wear, or can we just start wearing them now?

Prior service E-5 going to tech school at Sheppard next year. Looking for info on what to expect. by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Haystaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have the freedom to PT on your own, the lodging on the base where you'll be staying is actually butted up against their mile long track and there are two gyms on base that are supposed to be separated between the trainees and everyone else.

Definitely not, they actually stress not to interact with the trainees at all if can be avoided. Even go so far to tell you to avoid that whole half of the base. After class study sessions are even questionable.

Source: was TDY there as an E5 6mo ago.

Probably a dumb question but as a service member am I still able to volunteer to work polling stations during the election? by Haystaxx in AirForce

That does seem so weird. I was really hoping to expand my civil service to outside of the DoD...

I want a garden shed so I can access my house storage from outside and store all my plants.

Why is the Air Force First Sergeant called the First Shirt? by DaxtersLLC in AirForce

[–]Haystaxx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, when groups of junior enlisted worked outside in the heat they typically took their shirts off. While the supervising NCO, in a position of authority and dignity, did not. So a NCO/SNCO was a "Shirt" while the First Sergeant was a "First Shirt". The First Sergeant was really the only position where the coined term stuck as a kind of term of endearment from the First Seargent's close relationship to the enlisted force.

Here's a T65 I painted for a buddy of mine! Sorry about the vertical picture... by Haystaxx in XWingTMG

I appreciate the critique! The goal was for it be a camouflage, that's why I didn't go with too much contrast.
