Is the Volunteer Magazine still being published and sent through snail mail?  I have not received one in a long time and have not seen any emails concerning that it is only for download.

He'll always be a Col to me...

Except when he's Dr.

 

It should be clear: your unit is the final arbiter of this sort of thing.

If you're in training and you're all going to be inspected and wear your ABUs on a certain night of training, then if you show up 3 weeks earlier in ABUs because a "bunch of guys on the Internet said it was OK," you might have a bad day.

Your immediate chain of command (your element leader, flight sergeant, etc) should be your first stop, not randos on the Interwebz

I always save my flight releases in an email folder.

Gotta like a young Cadet that knows THX-1138

I am unsure if I am supposed to take that as a compliment or not.

It's a compliment.

You are authorized to wear your uniform as long as it is complete. Check with your unit to see if wing patches are required. They are in some wings. I would suggest bringing some civilian clothes just in case the shop made a mistake. We had an AF uniform alterations shop mess up a bunch of wing patches.

If you get to the meeting early, see if your flight sgt can give your uniform a quick once over.

Be careful with adding extra maneuvers or training to MX sorties (or any non-A5 AFAM).  This is covered in CAPR 60-3, 1-16 (5).

Yes. Paragraph B covered it. We chose photo targets already on the flight path so as not to really affect the flight time.

And instead of flying at 2000 rpm like some do to build time, we flew 2400 to make up any time lost. 🤣

Since you’re brand new member, check with your unit. I assume you’re a cadet. Most units send out orders of the day detailing which uniform to wear or a call down from your Flight Sergeant telling you what’s going on at the next meeting. They should answer that question

You seemed to have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I meant that I'm wondering if I am authorized to wear my ABU to the meeting since I was just processed into the system. BDU/ABU is the uniform for the next meeting.
