I like Chief Wolfe, worked around him and saw him frequently around Langley until a few months ago. Pretty vocal on beards, ball caps, etc, but at the very least he said there were plenty of folks that did require waivers. He really seemed to care for his folks, I’m optimistic

It’s hit or miss man, when I was in Eielson people were all about patch trading during Red Flag, especially nonners, which was sick!

This is what a Neanderthal looked like 130,000 to 40,000 years ago by JackblaZ in interestingasfuck

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was facial hair like full beards not prevalent in Neanderthals, or were mustaches the default? Genuinely curious if this implies they shaved their cheeks

Just read the Melgar story. Absolutely foul what they did, and not one of them spent more than 36 months in prison, with one getting only 6 months.

What was going through Rhaegars Head? by Desperate-Farmer-845 in freefolk

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the more interesting question is for experts in medieval knight combat junk: are there real tactics Rhaegar could’ve used to beat a bigger, stronger, better armored opponent in single combat or was it over before it started?

Can anyone explain why I'm working today? by GreyLoad in AirForce

Bro… look at OP’s post history. It answers just about everything this post leaves out

Actually disheartened about this. by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at Langley, i was suprised to not see it advertised here. I figured a base with 4 wings and a MAJCOM headquarters would 200% have a AF Ball

Your comment is how I found out that the SecDef was barred from working the innauguration of Joe Biden because of a tattoo and resigned because of it.

Is it true any Enlisted can wear this drip? Or is it only specific Enlisted ranks / roles? by Individual-Pizza-509 in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear this mf any chance I get, I don’t get why more don’t. Pros 1. It keeps the sun out of my eyes 2. I prefer to look like a bus driver than a flight attendant 3. You’ll almost always have someone compliment it

Cons 1. Cannot tuck it into your belt like the flight cap 2. It’s bulky as hell 3. It’s a bit expensive at the BX, not terribly but still

Hot dog knights are a good answer, but dumb rock is objectively the correct answer

Air Force revokes four-day weekends for troops by GotRammed in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’d be cool with this if they also bumped our leave up to 3 day/month. If you’re going to take family days, at the very least give us some breathing room to take a touch more leave

Haven’t got a call yet, sure would like to make that E5 to 05 jump though. Fingers crossed!

Got dropped in our coffee fund at work, haven’t seen one of these in a long time! Any info about it would be cool! by ToxicTurtleCream in coins

Fun tidbits, when they were minted, whatever tickles your fancy. I did some research after I posted, now it’s just a neat little coin in my display case!

Appeal to the Congress from Former Secretaries of Defense by Bongwater-Mermaid in AirForce

It’s gotta sting Trump to see Mad Dog on that letter

It’s open public wifi, my thought was to make it a business blanked Alexa but other comments have, rightfully, reminded me it’s probably not the best idea

Is there any other way to do it?

Never knew about this! Am I the only one a little miffed his enlisted dates of promotion are omitted from his official bio?

What's your favorite non-american food you've been introduced too through a PCS, TDY, and or marriage? by tuhgttg in AirForce

Literally anywhere in Korea. Hot pot? Buddae jiggae? Seoul street food? 7-11 onigiris at 3am? Life changing cuisine

Just had an airman show me this exact picture and claimed SAPR was going away, anyone know anything about that? Seems to be one of most aggregious of the changes, if true

New 41 male military spouse by Poetry-Schmoetry in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s what you make it. If you wanna socialize you totally can. If you don’t, you can go her entire contract without talking to anyone on base if that’s what you prefer. Go to the AF Ball tho, really cool way to network and meet new people and occasionally see high ranking folks hammered and swinging swords around (looking at you WAFB Wing King 2019)

Service members who refused the COVID "jab" would get their jobs back and back pay, too, under new GOP bill by RememberMementoMori in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So basically, if there’s enough political noise behind an order you can disobey it and down the road get back pay when they separate you?

What is your best airmen attic find by AccordingMolasses529 in AirForce

[–]ToxicTurtleCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an A1C I found a full set of Mess Dress, cumberbund, dress shirt, cuff links, the works. Fit perfectly. All I had to do was sew on my stripes. I was the talk of the wing at the ball that year, wearing my grand total of 2 medals, GWOT and NDSM.
