That's a great way to go about it, but it doesn't address the biggest issue of all... THESE UNIFORM THINGS DON'T ######ING MATTER! A sleeve rolled up, a morale patch, PT gear untucked, black socks, short socks, sunglasses on your head, mustache beyond the 90 degree line extending from the ends of your upper lip, blah blah blah... NONE OF THEM MATTER TO WINNING A GODDAMN WAR! I hate the dumbass argument "well if I can't trust you to tuck in your PT gear, how can I trust you to (insert complex mission-essential activity here that you've been highly trained to do). Apples and oranges... it's a cheap, easy "leadership" tactic aimed at the lowest common denominator, like everything else in the AF. It's far easier and measurable to come up with inane uniform policies and enforce them upon all than it is to actually lead and accomplish the mission.

Your boss is a piece of s#&*. Top cover from dripdouches like the one in your story is easy and painless if handled right. Hopefully your next boss is better.

Sorry guys, my big pet peeve. Talking about how tough you "should" or "could" have been, but in reality you let the enlisted guy be a complete ass, and you just smiled and obeyed him.

Shit like this is why I'm bolting active duty the first chance I get. Life is too short to be treated like a kindergartner by morons. Fox Sports sponsoring the bar... KFC... all of this is NOT A GOOD THING. We need less creature comforts for the shoes, not more. The more shit like this we put at the Deid and other places, the more likely Tops in Blue will show up, chiefs will go on power trips, etc.
