Air Force Standardizes Informal Uniform
The Air Force Chief of Staff has approved standardization of the Air Force Informal Uniform. The USAF Informal Uniform will be mandatory for wear by all Air Force Personal beginning 1 Jan, 2011.
The change is a result of the 96th Air Force Uniform Board. The Air Force Chief of Staff for Manpower, Lt. Gen Newton, said "Standardizing this uniform will help demonstrate the professionalism of the Airmen wearing it while providing functionality during distinctive duties, travel and special events,"
The Air Force Informal Uniform includes:
-Dark blue, short or long-sleeved shirt with a "U.S. Air Force" logo on the front, upper left chest and a white functional identification monogram on the left sleeve above the elbow.
-Brushed silver name tags with rank and last name will be worn. Occupational badges are optional for wear. If worn, the badge should be centered a half inch above the name tag.
-White V-neck collar undershirt.
-Trousers will be pleated, khaki slacks without cuffs. Shorts are not authorized. A black belt with a silver clasp should be worn.
-Shoes will be plain, black business casual low quarters or plain black athletic shoes with black socks.
-A dark blue watch cap or baseball cap with the logo, "USAF" may be worn outdoors only. Also, a dark blue jacket with a removable fleece liner and small "USAF" logo on the front upper left chest is authorized for wear.
