Yes all of the Air Force Rigs that are new are plain.I cant understand why they cant put the base name on the rig.Very boring looking for a brand new rig.
[/quote][color="#000000"]The short and the long of it is that the local (base) commander or even MagCom will have a say in how the base fire departments letter their vehicles. It has gotten A LOT better since the days when I was in. Many fire chiefs have finally got some say in how their trucks are lettered. For generations there was this belief that any fire truck was a deployable asset thus no base names or verbiage that was anything other than that was stated in the OI’s or REG’s. Some chiefs with power or balls could buck the system and get away with some customizing, but this was not the norm. It did steal the pride for the firefighters to have such limited say in how their trucks could look. Even the fact that the AF has even embraced the color red again was a huge step for them, we always believed that they had stock in OD green and emron green[/color]
