WEBVTT 00:04.349 --> 00:06.460 Good morning . Good morning . How you 00:06.460 --> 00:10.399 doing ? Good . How are you ? I'm great . 00:10.449 --> 00:13.359 Not anything this morning ? Aside from 00:13.770 --> 00:15.920 spending 15 extra minutes coming back 00:15.920 --> 00:18.087 around the front gate because the back 00:18.087 --> 00:20.309 gate was closed , yeah , I forgot about 00:20.309 --> 00:22.420 that . We knew it was happening , but 00:22.420 --> 00:25.290 then it , you know . You're a master 00:25.290 --> 00:28.409 sergeant now . Congratulations . What 00:28.409 --> 00:30.520 else ? What do we got ? What ? What ? 00:31.770 --> 00:34.103 What's what's up ? What's up with these ? 00:34.103 --> 00:36.270 Haven't you read about the standards ? 00:36.810 --> 00:40.209 I've read of , yes . OK . So what does 00:40.209 --> 00:41.765 that have to do with duty . 00:57.830 --> 00:59.830 OK . It's not apparently approved . 00:59.830 --> 00:59.490 Well , the chief of staff of the Air 00:59.490 --> 01:02.009 Force actually came out late last month 01:02.009 --> 01:04.176 with a video talking about a standards 01:04.176 --> 01:06.790 change . OK . Yeah , he talked about 01:06.790 --> 01:09.470 how he and the SIMA have talked to a 01:09.470 --> 01:12.540 lot of airmen over their travels , and 01:13.110 --> 01:15.221 one of the challenges they identified 01:15.221 --> 01:18.110 was the airmen say that some of the 01:18.110 --> 01:21.150 dress and appearance guidance is too 01:21.150 --> 01:24.400 vague . And because of the vagueness , 01:24.750 --> 01:26.989 people have been selectively enforcing 01:26.989 --> 01:30.919 the standards . And so Amen have been 01:30.919 --> 01:33.000 selectively complying with . I think 01:33.000 --> 01:35.111 we've all seen it . Yeah , we've seen 01:35.111 --> 01:38.959 it . OK . It is hard when you're in 01:38.959 --> 01:41.126 that situation . It's a little awkward 01:41.126 --> 01:43.292 because if you don't feel confident in 01:43.292 --> 01:45.348 whether you're right or wrong , it's 01:45.348 --> 01:47.639 hard to help correct somebody . So this 01:47.639 --> 01:50.699 is essentially a reset . I think that 01:50.699 --> 01:52.699 it's just trying to get down to the 01:52.699 --> 01:55.239 fundamentals of uniformity again , kind 01:55.239 --> 01:58.830 of resetting in that regard . And there 01:58.830 --> 02:01.110 are 5 specific clarifications that they 02:01.110 --> 02:03.332 made to the guidance . OK . You want to 02:03.332 --> 02:05.499 go through them ? Sure , let's do it . 02:05.499 --> 02:07.721 OK , let's educate . So the first thing 02:07.721 --> 02:09.888 is the duty identifier patches , which 02:09.888 --> 02:11.777 we just talked about . They're no 02:11.777 --> 02:13.943 longer authorized for wear . There are 02:13.943 --> 02:16.389 authorized duty identifier tabs . And 02:17.330 --> 02:21.169 that remains in the 362903JA guard 02:21.169 --> 02:23.391 instructors , that sort of thing . OK . 02:23.391 --> 02:21.460 The , the other thing 02:32.410 --> 02:34.521 is for females , this only applies to 02:34.521 --> 02:37.369 females , nail polish colors . We don't 02:37.369 --> 02:40.250 have the spectrum of colors that we 02:40.250 --> 02:42.472 were authorized before . But we weren't 02:42.472 --> 02:44.399 really authorized . To 02:45.940 --> 02:48.051 alternative of colors to begin with . 02:50.210 --> 02:53.419 So they had opened it up to OCP . Oh , 02:53.470 --> 02:57.240 OK . Yeah . Not . Yeah , gray 02:57.240 --> 03:00.490 colors , as long as it wasn't fire 03:00.490 --> 03:03.479 engine or neon colors , yeah , it had 03:03.479 --> 03:06.000 gotten pretty out there . Um , so now 03:06.000 --> 03:09.240 there's only 3 authorized nail colors . 03:09.440 --> 03:12.240 OK , which are clear polish , which I 03:12.240 --> 03:14.949 guess isn't a color . French tips , 03:15.199 --> 03:18.309 which is just a white tip 03:19.000 --> 03:22.190 and then American manicure , which is 03:22.880 --> 03:25.119 A white tip with a neutral pink painted 03:25.119 --> 03:28.320 over . OK , yeah . Can we go back to 03:28.320 --> 03:31.009 the French tip , so that's like it's 03:31.009 --> 03:33.160 showing the cuticle . Did I get that 03:33.160 --> 03:36.960 right ? OK . Can we just we just show a 03:36.960 --> 03:38.127 picture for , yeah . 03:40.839 --> 03:43.399 So look at this . So here , this is a 03:43.399 --> 03:45.559 chip . You can see that it's clear in 03:45.559 --> 03:48.070 color on the bed of the nail , but the 03:48.070 --> 03:50.759 tip is painted white . OK . 03:52.199 --> 03:56.059 And then the manicure , you 03:56.059 --> 03:59.940 can see is , it has like a white tip 03:59.940 --> 04:02.460 painted , but then they took a neutral 04:02.460 --> 04:05.710 color shear and painted over that . OK . 04:24.970 --> 04:27.081 So it's like a man . OK , so that has 04:27.081 --> 04:26.980 been the same . OK . I'm sorry 04:49.059 --> 04:51.226 for anyone who got a man . Yeah . So . 04:51.226 --> 04:51.220 OK . You can't . OK , so we can't , all 04:51.220 --> 04:54.359 right . So hair can't touch ears . Does 04:54.359 --> 04:56.526 that mean like in the back , like if I 04:56.526 --> 05:00.429 have a longer like mullet ? Yeah . So 05:00.679 --> 05:04.119 the guidance is that you can definitely 05:04.119 --> 05:06.286 not have a mullet . You can definitely 05:06.286 --> 05:08.341 not have a mullet . And I always got 05:08.341 --> 05:10.508 confused . Like this is a really great 05:10.508 --> 05:12.508 example of how I was unclear on the 05:12.508 --> 05:15.709 vagary of the language , but the bulk , 05:15.959 --> 05:17.959 like what is the bulk of the hair ? 05:17.959 --> 05:20.181 What is the termination point ? Right . 05:20.790 --> 05:24.660 So the bulk is how far off of your head . 05:25.510 --> 05:28.209 It comes . Yeah . So 05:44.320 --> 05:46.542 I have no bulk . You have none . Wait , 05:46.542 --> 05:44.600 I mean , but you do . It's like a one , 05:44.609 --> 05:46.942 right ? Which is what a millimeter ? OK , 05:46.942 --> 05:45.089 yeah , I got it . Right . So it's 05:45.089 --> 05:46.311 tapered in the back . 05:49.309 --> 05:51.253 If you wanted to grow it out , you 05:51.253 --> 05:53.420 could , but it could be no more than a 05:53.420 --> 05:57.260 quarter inch , which is your hairline . 05:57.950 --> 06:00.149 That's what the point is . I mean 06:00.149 --> 06:03.910 that's that's . I , I would that's 06:03.910 --> 06:05.354 pretty reasonable to stay 06:11.799 --> 06:13.966 neat , yeah . Depending on if you have 06:13.966 --> 06:13.140 curly hair , if you have a quarter . 06:13.149 --> 06:14.149 Because you're 06:20.000 --> 06:23.470 instead of it being a one . Or a 0 , 06:23.619 --> 06:25.786 your curly hair already has you out at 06:25.786 --> 06:27.899 like a 3 , essentially , so at its 06:27.899 --> 06:30.299 shortest . Well , particularly around 06:30.299 --> 06:32.521 your ears , it would be noticeable . So 06:32.521 --> 06:34.521 if your hairline at your ears , you 06:34.521 --> 06:36.355 have a quarter length , but it's 06:36.355 --> 06:38.299 sticking out , then it is going to 06:38.299 --> 06:40.521 touch your ear and it doesn't have that 06:40.521 --> 06:43.109 uniform tapered look that the Air Force 06:43.109 --> 06:45.739 would want as standard . So they just 06:45.739 --> 06:47.795 clarified your hair can't touch your 06:47.795 --> 06:49.906 ears . Nothing else changes . They're 06:49.906 --> 06:51.906 just really clear , your hair can't 06:51.906 --> 06:53.961 touch your ears . So that means that 06:53.961 --> 06:56.128 it's not a quarter inch really at your 06:56.128 --> 06:57.850 ear . Yeah , it depends on the 06:57.850 --> 07:00.859 individuals . All right , well , that's 07:00.859 --> 07:04.019 good . That's um that's good guidance 07:04.019 --> 07:05.019 to know . Um , 07:27.700 --> 07:29.700 OK , so that's hairline . That's on 07:29.700 --> 07:27.950 this one I thought was interesting , 07:27.959 --> 07:30.181 but the gig , there's a definition of a 07:30.181 --> 07:28.489 civilian clothes . I have never heard 07:28.489 --> 07:30.489 that term before . When my gig is , 07:30.489 --> 07:29.299 even if I'm wearing jeans , I feel 07:29.299 --> 07:32.440 sloppy . I'm like , why is my Yeah , I 07:32.440 --> 07:34.920 guess it would be , it would look like 07:34.920 --> 07:38.350 you were rush , 07:38.519 --> 07:42.359 right . So just like you said , the gig 07:42.359 --> 07:45.079 line is the button down , this is for 07:45.079 --> 07:47.320 your dress uniform , the button down 07:47.320 --> 07:50.440 line , vertical line of your shirt or 07:50.440 --> 07:53.040 your jacket , intersecting with your 07:53.040 --> 07:56.920 belt and the fly of your pants . So 07:56.920 --> 07:59.031 they all have to be a straight line . 08:00.230 --> 08:01.230 That's it . 08:05.760 --> 08:07.927 Yeah , it's easy . The gig line should 08:07.927 --> 08:06.549 be neat . just straighten out . Yeah , 08:06.670 --> 08:09.190 right . So who is walking around like 08:09.190 --> 08:11.309 that ? Who are you ? We've seen . 08:12.839 --> 08:16.410 They've been through . Yeah . Um , 08:16.670 --> 08:19.019 OK , and then the last one is kind of a 08:19.019 --> 08:21.940 lot . It's the beard . It is with 08:21.940 --> 08:24.299 regards to the shaving waivers , but 08:24.299 --> 08:26.521 the first point that's really important 08:26.521 --> 08:29.140 to know is at the start of each Judy 08:29.140 --> 08:31.730 day male airmen must be clean shaven . 08:33.739 --> 08:35.683 Correct . Yeah . So if you're like 08:35.683 --> 08:37.628 Homer Simpson and you shave and it 08:37.628 --> 08:39.572 immediately grows into a 5 o'clock 08:39.572 --> 08:42.659 shadow , yeah . You have to be shaving 08:42.659 --> 08:44.659 first thing at the beginning of the 08:44.659 --> 08:46.770 duty . I know if I'm flying 08:47.219 --> 08:49.441 internationally , usually by the time I 08:49.441 --> 08:51.386 get to my destination , I'm pretty 08:51.386 --> 08:53.099 grown in , but yeah , 08:55.780 --> 08:57.780 yeah . So there's no question about 08:57.780 --> 08:59.789 that . And then there's a whole um 09:00.690 --> 09:03.929 Alternate clarification on shaving 09:03.929 --> 09:07.010 waivers that don't have to do with 09:07.010 --> 09:09.890 religious preference , but with the 09:09.890 --> 09:13.210 medical shaving waiver . And I would 09:13.210 --> 09:15.570 just say , you know , use your chain of 09:15.570 --> 09:17.848 command , look to your first sergeants , 09:17.848 --> 09:20.049 look to your chiefs , your SELs , and 09:20.049 --> 09:22.216 get that information straight from the 09:22.216 --> 09:24.271 source and look at the guidance that 09:24.271 --> 09:26.216 the CSA sent to everybody in their 09:26.216 --> 09:28.049 email . And what is the numbered 09:28.049 --> 09:31.169 guidance on this ? So again , The AFI 09:31.169 --> 09:34.919 362903 is the guidance for this . OK , 09:36.130 --> 09:38.330 excellent . So there'll be varying 09:38.330 --> 09:40.552 opinions about it , but you know , when 09:40.552 --> 09:42.719 it comes down to it , we're all trying 09:42.719 --> 09:44.941 to be one team , one fight and look the 09:44.941 --> 09:48.200 same . And if we're . Slacking on the 09:48.200 --> 09:49.867 little things with regards to 09:49.867 --> 09:51.989 uniformity in your appearance . 09:57.159 --> 09:59.270 What else are you leading . What else 09:59.270 --> 10:01.390 are you selectively complying with ? 10:03.159 --> 10:05.381 What else are you selectively complying 10:05.381 --> 10:07.492 with Sergeant Schuman ? Are you , are 10:07.492 --> 10:08.492 you asking me , 10:17.640 --> 10:19.751 or is that rhetorical comply with the 10:19.751 --> 10:19.090 board . I'm a model . And I would just 10:19.090 --> 10:21.146 like to remind everybody , and maybe 10:21.146 --> 10:23.312 folks have forgotten , but in our Wing 10:23.312 --> 10:25.679 app , you can ask the command chief 10:25.679 --> 10:27.735 anything you want . There's a little 10:27.735 --> 10:29.901 module , a little contact form you can 10:29.901 --> 10:32.068 fill in . It can be anonymous or not , 10:32.068 --> 10:34.179 and it goes straight to his email and 10:34.179 --> 10:37.559 he will respond , right ? So if you 10:37.559 --> 10:39.781 want to ask , well , how long are these 10:39.781 --> 10:41.948 changes going to last for , you know , 10:41.948 --> 10:43.892 why is this changing this way ? Or 10:43.892 --> 10:45.948 maybe you just don't agree with your 10:45.948 --> 10:47.503 SELs and you want anonymous 10:47.503 --> 10:49.670 clarification from the command chief . 10:49.670 --> 10:51.781 Yeah . You can ask . Sure , yeah . So 10:51.781 --> 10:53.559 these changes , they take place 10:53.559 --> 10:55.190 immediately . As of today , 10:57.229 --> 11:00.200 February . So a lot of things changing 11:00.200 --> 11:02.478 on February 1st . It's like a new year . 11:03.159 --> 11:05.989 We can't . This is like our 3rd year of 11:05.989 --> 11:08.719 this fiscal year . We had our new 11:08.719 --> 11:10.719 fiscal year and we had our calendar 11:10.719 --> 11:12.830 year and now we are having our what ? 11:12.909 --> 11:14.900 Our new new 11:18.229 --> 11:19.109 new 11:23.489 --> 11:25.656 standards , it's our new , a new drill 11:25.656 --> 11:24.229 is a new drill . And you know the 11:24.229 --> 11:26.451 groundhog might see a new way to get to 11:26.451 --> 11:29.039 work for half of us . Yeah , right , a 11:29.039 --> 11:32.140 new commute commute . Uh , I don't know . 11:32.200 --> 11:34.460 I , I benefit from the additional 11:34.460 --> 11:36.404 commute a little bit . I need that 11:36.404 --> 11:38.440 extra few minutes to , you know , 11:38.900 --> 11:40.233 shaving while driving , 11:49.070 --> 11:51.181 all that stuff , don't do that . So , 11:51.181 --> 11:49.340 what we have going on ? What is going 11:49.340 --> 11:52.559 on . We have a senior NCO induction 11:52.559 --> 11:55.429 ceremony . So , um , do you , as a 11:55.429 --> 11:57.651 senior NCO , could you give me a little 11:57.651 --> 11:59.762 more clarity like what is that ? No , 11:59.762 --> 12:01.651 OK , never mind , we'll go back . 12:01.820 --> 12:04.042 Anyone that was promoted to the rank of 12:04.042 --> 12:06.042 sergeant in the last year I guess . 12:08.510 --> 12:11.710 I don't know . Yeah , I think it's the 12:11.710 --> 12:12.877 last time we had a . 12:17.090 --> 12:19.409 So that's happening . The general will 12:19.409 --> 12:21.840 be giving town halls as promised , uh , 12:21.849 --> 12:24.530 during his all call , uh , who will be 12:24.530 --> 12:26.929 going around based to various units and 12:26.929 --> 12:29.929 talking to our members based on ranks , 12:29.969 --> 12:32.849 so it'll be junior enlisted , NCO 12:32.849 --> 12:34.905 senior NCO . And I believe . I think 12:34.905 --> 12:34.440 this weekend . So look out for that and 12:34.440 --> 12:36.496 have your questions ready for uh for 12:36.496 --> 12:34.549 the , for the 12:34.549 --> 12:49.090 boss . 12:49.679 --> 12:51.919 And the and the command , yes , he's 12:51.919 --> 12:54.141 also part of that . Also , the stroll , 12:54.141 --> 12:56.197 it's , we have members get , we have 12:56.197 --> 12:58.419 two very big deployments this year , so 12:58.419 --> 13:00.530 it's affecting every squadron here on 13:00.530 --> 13:02.586 base . So I'm just getting ready for 13:02.586 --> 13:04.919 that . Uh , so it'll be , it'll be busy . 13:05.030 --> 13:07.363 Uh , people qualifying out on the range , 13:08.039 --> 13:09.817 everything , it's gonna be uh . 13:24.380 --> 13:26.380 That's right there's a little too a 13:26.380 --> 13:25.820 little break .
