'Today's Air Force' features changes in tattoo policy Published Dec. 14, 2009 San Antonio (AFNS) -- In this edition of Today's Air Force, Air Force officials do an about face on a controversial tattoo policy. Plus, see how a new driving simulator in Germany prepares Airmen for the Autobahn. And Airmen in Belgium take time to remember some of the heroes of WWII. For two weeks the Air Force had a policy prohibiting recruits from entering service if they had tattoos on their saluting arm. The ban now has been lifted and Air Force officials are conducting a review of Air Force policy enforcement to make sure that tattoo regulations are being adhered to consistently. Driving in Europe is a lot different than driving in the States and if Airmen take that difference for granted, the results can be deadly. A new driving simulator in Germany is helping to prepare Air Force members to tackle the Autobahn safely. World War II ended more than a half century ago, but Europeans and Americans alike still take time to remember the fallen heroes of that bloody conflict.
