I've worked as a civilian for the Air Force since 1987, and the only
time I've seen anyone in the current Army style camouflage cap is when
they transfer in. They quickly start wearing their squadron's baseball cap.

I was in a mobile SIGINT unit for my last assignment. Not only weren't we
allowed to where morale caps, we weren't even allowed to wear squadron or
command patches on our uniforms.


Yeah, but you guys were those secret squirrel dudes...

I bet you still wore teh secret decoder ring though...

What's a hotel?

The air force is all about queers now, and very rarely do you see a real
man or woman in uniform since the end of the 20th Century...

The new one is just a blue fag-suit, for the same queers, and they'll have
squadron patches and typewriter wings on it before Christmas.

So that's why you joined?

BDU's weren't and aren't Nomex. The no starch, no iron policy was to
preserve the IR suppression characteristics of the fabric. Starch allowed
the heat to pass through, and the shininess if ironed was reflective.

We were told the BDUs were Nomex treated and that starch would kill it. There
were several things in writing from the base commander on down about.

Nomex is not a treatment, it is a fabric made and sold by Dupont for at
least thirty years. It is flash resistant, not fire proof, and is hot in
the summer and cold in the winter but good for up to about 900F in a
flash fire IIRC. Got some in the closet as the refineries around here
require it for entry to operating units.

Then why are you so bitter you need to insult people who are doing precisely as
you did? The men and women in the service are just as good as the ones you and
I knew.
