Good Common Sense: Air Force Space Command has directed its personnel to cease wearing flight suits, the green flight jacket, and the A-2 leather jacket by Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year. This decision aims to standardize uniforms across the command and save money. "Between the expense of purchasing these items and the fact that our operations don't involve flying, this recommendation was good common sense," said command boss Gen. William Shelton in an April 13 release. The policy will affect about 1,800 airmen in the space systems operations and space and missile operations career fields, according to the command. AFSPC stopped purchasing the flight suits and jackets in March for its space operators. The policy will save an estimated $670,000 per year, states the release.

I picked up one of these a while back in hopes it could keep my hardwoods clean and save us a little work around the house. It works great sucking up dog hair, dust and popcorn kernels after a night of heavy drinking. But don't sleep in too long after your big night and forget  to let your "house-trained" dogs out for their daily constitutional - it will be painful. Set aside at least a couple of hours to clean the rugs and baseboards that are covered in shit, and a couple hours more to disassemble this piece of FOD to clean out the fecal matter in the wheels, brushes and underbody of the unit. Over all - FAIL x 10!!!

Much easier to clean up a steaming pile of dog crap with paper towels...
