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.
The revised DAFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Department of the Air Force Personnel, incorporates policy changes from the 102nd Air Force Uniform Board, incorporates all other guidance memorandums and features updated graphics for visual clarity.
Weve reviewed the policy in whole to make certain we are communicating standards clearly, making it an easier tool for commanders, supervisors, Airmen and Guardians, said Lt. Gen. Caroline Miller, deputy chief of staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services. Revisions were made over a number of years, but we felt the need to revisit the entire document to remove redundancies, out-of-date information and decrease subjectivity.
The updated policy outlines:
Religious Accommodation Process No-hat, No-salute areas Specialized nametag wear for DAF and Joint Chiefs support staff Two-piece flight duty uniform Bags, to include gym bag, backpack, handbags Flight duty uniform policy Female wear of mess dress trousers or slacks Wear of caps for baldness or hair loss due to medical conditions Permanent wear of EPME badge Security Forces shield on the OCP uniform Beverage consumption while walking in uniform Wear of cold weather headbands Authorized wear of commercial maternity cold weather outerwear Wing commander delegation to approve religious regalia Organizational emblems on the back of morale shirt Heritage morale patches on the flight duty uniform
It also highlights authorized and unauthorized examples of grooming standards for:
Tattoo/brands/body markings Mustache wear Male and female hair standards Female nail polish colors and other cosmetics
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.
