ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) — \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of the Air Force republished its dress and personal appearance instruction to simplify, clarify and amplify many changes for Airmen and Guardians serving world-wide.<\/p>\n

Caroline Miller<\/strong><\/a>, deputy chief of staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services. \u201cRevisions were made over a number of years, but we felt the need to revisit the entire document to remove redundancies, out-of-date information and decrease subjectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also highlights authorized and unauthorized examples of grooming standards for:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tattoo\/brands\/body markings
\u2022 Mustache wear
\u2022 Male and female hair standards
\u2022 Female nail polish colors and other cosmetics<\/p>\n

It also clarifies duty badge guidance, explaining the wear and placement of up to three duty badges on male and female service, semi-formal, formal and mess dress uniforms. Lastly, it clarifies sister service\/joint unit patch wear, and provides graduate patch criteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to standards, our Airmen need the best guidance we can offer,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass<\/strong><\/a>. “These changes and updates to the publication are meant to clarify professional military appearance and uniform standards across the Air Force and empower all Airmen to hold themselves, and others accountable. Part of being a Profession of Arms is embodying the higher set of standards that comes with serving our great nation. Accountability matters. Standards matter \u2014 and the ones we walk by, the ones we ignore, are the ones we accept.”<\/p>\n
