No more Monday blues

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. -- Staff Sgt. Jolene Johnson, 66th Force Support Squadron Force Management Section NCO in charge, wears her blues to work Dec. 3 for the last time as “Blues Monday.” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh recently decided not to renew the service-wide requirement that Airmen wear their dress blue uniforms on Monday, but to allow commanders of each major command to decide whether to continue or rescind the policy. Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, Air Force Materiel Command commander, rescinded the policy. (U.S. Air Force photo by Mark Wyatt)
