Only old heads will remember how the Air Force was in the mid-80s

1. If you enjoyed grape soda, your first sergeant would send you to urinalysis

2. If you weren’t a club member, you received all the bad details. Your APR aka EPR would be marked down

3. The club hosted "go go" dancers on certain days

4. You couldn’t shave your head bald

5. You could smoke in your office

6. Drinking was highly encouraged, you could enjoy alcohol at commanders' call and lunch.

7. If you fail to meet weight standards, you were placed on the Fat Boy program.

8. You got paid once a month via a paycheck. The Air Force forced people to enroll in a program called, "Sure pay".

9. If you worked in an office, you wore blues.

10. The base hosted monthly retreat ceremonies and change of commands was always outside events.

11. You were heavily penalized for attending off duty education. Your peers and bosses consider you a slacker.

12. Fraternization was illegal. Officer married to Enlisted, one of them had to get out.

13. If you played on the base football team, you could get away with murder

14. You were considered government property. So if you got a sunburn, you would get paperwork

15. Leaders did not smile in official photographs

16. If you were overseas, you had to secure your commander's permission to get married

17. Midnight chow was the best You had to be in uniform to eat.

18. Takeout was illegal, You would be prosecuted for stealing if you took food out the dining hall

19. The dorm parties were legendary

20. You were lucky to have a roommate in the dorm to bounce problems, challenges and struggles off.

21. Rather than getting promoted, the focus was more on having Fun and having pride in the Air Force.

22. Tattoos were heavily frown upon, you would get kicked out if you had too many

Just a few points on how the Air Force changed, guess I will be getting my urinalysis notification tomorrow.
