Welcome to the September edition of Luke AFB Thunderbolt! Our front-page story is sure to be a crowd pleaser: SHORTS NOW ALLOWED ON THE LUKE FLIGHTLINE! (Our prayers are answered – woo-hoo!!) This is welcome news to airmen not only at Luke, but also at Nellis and Tyndall Air Force Bases. Perhaps this will be the beginning of a trend service-wide? Many thanks to the folks further up the command chain for taking a stand for comfort and common sense. Make sure and break out the sunscreen, though – sunburnt shins are no laughing matter…. (Just out of curiosity – what other uniform alterations would you suggest for greater comfort and efficiency? Post in the comments below and let’s have a conversation!)
