    Do you get to wear the 30" zipper too?
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Shoot me a PM if you want to chat. I'm active duty AF and I just spent 4 years at Schriever working with lots of folks from difference parts of the space industry.

    Apparently that ended a few years ago. I flew in helicopters in the Navy so I've had my time in a bag. I will miss them, most comfortable uniform ever.

    Never trust a dude with a 30' zipper.

    Last I knew satellite pukes sometimes wear flight suits. You know, in case of a keyboard fire. I hate the damn things. I only wear them when I fly.

    Only missile weenies wear them now... and it's mostly to appease them because their job is the shittiest job in the AF. Everyone else in AFSPC wears ABUs every day (as of 2012)

    The career field is still authorized bags but AFSPC decided to stop issuing them as a cost-saving measure so the only time you should see space pukes wearing bags anymore would be if they're assigned outside the MAJCOM (and the ADCON unit has the funds to buy bags). I saved mine to use when working on the car -- maybe I'll actually get to use them again one of these days (haven't had much time to do anything other than change wiper blades and check tire pressure).
