I don't see a single reflective belt on those ladies.....and I'm happy!!!!!!!!!!!

Or you could take the appropriate notes, check with the people you're grading later via face to face contact, and get the answer that way.....but what do I know. RB's for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to work and not a peep, an email, or an LOR. Fly safe and Vive la Resistance!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been away from work for 7 weeks, so no idea, but the phone hasn't rung yet, so my thought is no news is good news.

This post brought to you by the IHRB Group on Facebook. "This conversation took place between 4 Air Force Security Police and 1 Marine at Al Udeid AB last week... AF: Hey man, you know you can't eat in here (Dining Facility) without a reflective belt at night. Marine: No. Why?!? AF: There's a sign on the door, I know you saw it. Marine: Nope, must have missed it. AF: Well you have to leave until you get a belt. Marine: Can I just finish my food. AF: No. Marine: Well, I'm just going to sit here and finish my dinner, then I'll leave. It's a ridiculous rule anyway. AF: You have to leave now sir, its an order. Marine: What's an order? AF: You can't be served food at night without a reflective belt. Marine: That makes no sense. AF: If you don't leave immediately, we will have to arrest you. Marine: Are you f*cking kidding me? AF: That's it, stand up. Marine: You guys can go to hell (leaves his tray on the table and storms off)."

Yep..Bagram is that gay...from the Facebook page... " I'm stationed at Bagram A.F. and here on Bagram A.F. the only authorized color reflective belt is yellow/orange. Apparently it's more reflective? I guess I was wrong about the white stripe on mine being the reflective part."

Or you could just continually collect them as I do and never plan on wearing one of them. I think I have enough to wrap a C-130, and yet I went an entire 4 month rotation at the Deid without every having put it on my reflective PT Gear.

Sorry...sarcasm was lost on that one. On a positive note, we may hit 10,000 members before Midnight Eastern tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM me your actual name and I'll get it put back on. I think I know the admin. He's a guy by the name of reflective belt.

Anyone want to guess whether or not my Email is full of messages from anyone in my leadership chain when I get back????

You know it's funny. The group just picked up a new Admin today. His name.....is Reflective Belt. I hope he enjoys his time and I'll check my work email when I get back from leave. Edit for bad spelling

Discus....Have no idea. I've been TDY for about 6 weeks and totally out of pocket with the squadron. I'm on leave this week and won't get back to work until Mon. The best thing is now I'm attached, so might not be seen that much. I have a bunch of friends in the squadron that are all members, and that was what I originally had intended for this group. Just a bunch of squadron mates that had a similar hatred. Never expected to have this go "viral" And a PS on the ugly side. I just got a message from a guy claiming to have been given an LOR for his posting on the group. Apparently some people at his squadron saw it. Don't know that I totally believe it, but just thought I'd share.

The tools are out in force on the blog site for comments. Please take a minute and try to set them on the path to enlightenment. https://militarytimes.com/blogs/flightlines/2009/11/01/hate-reflective-belts/ P.S. 6,996 and counting again. Here's to 10,000 by next payday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am mearly a cog in the wheel. P.S. 5,769.......and counting. Here's to the DD's and the Chief's group at the Deid.

Kayla, I'd be happy to have you and your friends as members. The more the merrier. Thanks for the invites you send in advance.

Sorry. I had a few beers in me and one of the morons wife's was spouting off before I booted both of them and the wife. But they are both work to fix internet/some crap I don't care about. So, the terms Shoe Clerk and REMF most definitely apply. Just added a huge Thank you to the wall on the group. Thinking about sending it out group wide as a message in the inbox. Don't know just how well that would be received though. Let me know your opinion.

2,000 and counting. Keep it up Baseops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just make them pen patches so the flyers can wear them as non-approved morale patches. You know, come to think of it, I might have to get with someone on this. Start selling the pen patches that have "IHRB". Kinda like the "LPA" pen patch. But what the big question is, what color? Do you go subdued, so it doesn't look like it's there, or do you try and make it just like a neon yellow RB?

I want to know why that sign is still there. Why doesn't it disappear every time an aircrew member walks through the door. Then you could simply say..."What sign?" edit cause me no spell good.

Back to talking about boats again, since it's winter and we can't go out in them. So, we must maintain our proficiency in motor boating. One more and I'm off to bed. Feel free to censure if you need to Mods. I'm drunk posting. Last one. I promise. I promise I'm done.

Toro, so who buys drinks when we meet. I'd never let you pay for a round either. That could get to be a problem. The best thing is one of the clerks wife's commented. She's gone as well.

This is going great. The shoe clerks are already out of the woodwork and trying to make us feel bad about this group. Here's the quote from Mr. REMF himself.... Chris Heaney "The only way for me to comment on this pathetic group is to join. This is stupidity at its best. Regs and Standards are out for a freaking reason. To even have a board and complain about how dumb something so small and insignificant as a reflective belt shows that none of you have anything else better to do in your life." Chris, you're a REMF, a shoe and have now been blocked from posting anything further in this group. He's now been blocked from the group. And his crony who had this to say...misspellings left for effect. Benjamin Karl Rostel Reid "I have to agree with Chris and here's why; While on deployment to a multinational base (where the only people who had to wear reflective belts were USAF personnel) 1 person got hit by a vehicle. A guy from CE who wasn't paying attention and wasn't wearing his belt. The AF recruits alot of really bright kids, the flipside of that is most wouldn't recognize common sense if it hit 'em like a 6pax. If you wanna complain why don't you ask why we wear high tech camoflage? Is it to blend in to the office/ airfield/ bulldozer/ bus/ ATC tower/ BX/ hanger/ maintianence bay/ manhole/ GATR site/ F16/ chow hall/ etc. etc. etc. etc.?" Benjamin, you're in the same boat. Banned for being a moron and a shoe clerk.

And onto page 75....this thread will never die.

TacAirCoug.....I don't understand what you're trying to say here?

1,113 and counting. I'm no chicken. It's been done.
