I was gonna say the same thing...but they didn't count on us pesky Guard guys who were never worried about our careers being crushed if we called BS on ridiculous demands!

There are plenty of "nexGen" mil guys who cut their teeth wearing reflective belts in the ME..who couldn't get a new desert flight suit approved due to budget issues. Meanwhile, their base dropped 6 figures to entertain a gaggle of generals or fund a band.

Those guys know the score.

Those that came up with the policies such as disco belts at the 'Deid vs those that had to follow said policies, and how these viewpoints shape their ideas and thought processes with dealing with management and the next TA going forward.

Who cares how ex military guys vs civilian guys feel? We're all united, a big melting pot. This seems to be the only place where your service to the country labels someone. Bad idea. Drop it.

This has absolutely zero to do with mil vs civilian. It's more of about those that were once in leadership roles that could be more inclined to agree with management's desires, i.e. supposed "sick leave abuse", or at least see thru a similar lense as mgmt.

I guess we will know that they are having a "slow down" when they only taxi at V1 vs. the normal V2.
