USAF on a Purge mission ..

40 years ago we had a camera that could read license plates on a moving car from a supersonic airplane, yet today they're still are random enlisted airmen on 'roving watch' walking around a building in case a flash mob appears.

One word to unite all the branch's antiquated and unnecessary regs: tradition

How can the USAF go on a Purge mission? The use of explosives higher than class 4 is prohibited.

No one got the reference

I remember my ex wife coming home upset because she was freezing her butt off and Captain Dipstick chewed her out for wearing her fleece jacket indoors. Just sitting at her desk working, jacket has name and rank on it and all that jazz and Captain Dipstick was walking by... Thanks for saving the day Capn' lol

A few years ago I got to experience the pedantic nature of Air Force uniform culture. I was a civilian contractor wearing AF ABU. I started the day wearing a t-shirt, morning shirt (kinda like a warm-up jacket), and ABU blouse. In what appeared to be a somewhat casual office environment, I removed the ABU blouse when the office got hot. A JO told me that the morning shirt couldn't be the outermost layer. So much for layers.

A few days later, I wore a t-shirt and the sage fleece with branch tape (US Contractor) and name tape. I knew that I couldn't shed the fleece and wear a t-shirt in an office environment. Well, there was a VIP arriving and the same JO asked me to remove my fleece. He was expecting an ABU blouse underneath, not my t-shirt. He was not pleased.

The rest of the contract, I decided not to play and just wore my Navy whites just to get salutes from that JO.

We call that "chickenchit".
WWII troop slang for military bureaucratic •. The word implies that the regulations in question are so silly and trifling that they don't measure up to the level of •. Subsequently, the word came to be merely an intensification of the epithet chicken.
