Easy there folks. That's the positive terminal for jump starting her brain. The shine tells me it needs to be done frequently. :)

If this is a stunt in order to get a rise out of someone, let her Chain of Command give her the attention she covets. This is someone indicative of today's military. They don't need to serve if they can't maintain some level of self discipline and respect for regulations.

Violates appearance regs, just like those earrings. Some NCO better snatch this airmen up and correct her.
Or does the airforce still do that?

AFI 36-2903 18 JULY 2011 27
3.5.1. In uniform on or off a military installation: With the exception of earrings for women
(see paragraphs 6.3.1.1), all members are prohibited from attaching, affixing, or displaying
objects, articles, jewelry or ornamentation to or through the ear, nose, tongue, eye brows,
lips, or any exposed body part (includes visible through the uniform).
3.5.2. In civilian attire on official duty on or off a military installation: With the exception
of earrings for women (see paragraphs 6.3.1.1), all members are prohibited from attaching,
affixing or displaying objects, articles, jewelry or ornamentation to and/or through the ear,
nose, tongue, eye brows, lips, or any exposed body part (includes visible through clothing).
3.5.3. In civilian attire off duty on a military installation: With the exception of earrings for
women (see paragraphs 6.3.1.1) and areas in and around military family and privatized
housing, all Air Force members are prohibited from attaching, affixing and/or displaying
objects, articles, jewelry or ornamentation to and/or through the ear, nose, tongue, eye brows,
lips, or any exposed body part (includes visible through clothing).
This is taken directly from the Air Force Reg book... her chain of Command should be taking action to uphold the standards or they set new standards

Back when I was stationed at Ft. Gordon, in '91, earrings were not authorized for service members...period. I was in the chow hall and saw a young private who defied the rules and had one in while in civilian clothes. A gunny saw it the same time I did. Gunny walked up to said private, cocked his head a little, then reached up and yanked the earring down and out, cleanly splitting his earlobe in two. As private is screaming in pain, Gunny reminds him that they aren't authorized, even in civilian clothes. I'm betting the private never broke regs again. I think the same tactic should be used for septum rings.

Quite sure that as dumb as this Airman is for wearing this in uniform and posting it on social media, she isn't dumb enough to wear it out in public where it could have been seen. Unless she is looking for a relentless ass chewing.

PO1 John Miller, at least she should have gone public with the photo horizontally flipped! I helped her out!

Lack of discipline and honor of those that wore it before them. I hope her leadership corrected this issue
