The United States Air Force updated its official dress code policy this month, in observance of religious practices, to allow military personnel to wear turbans or hijabs as a part of the uniform.

The Air Force released an update to the “Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel” code on Feb. 7, now permitting airmen to request a waiver to wear religious apparel while in uniform as long as they are “neat and conservative.”

The material used for headwear must resemble the color of the assigned uniform. This includes camouflage, and must be worn in a fashion that presents a “professional and well-groomed appearance.”

“I find it difficult to believe that the CinC would allow this.”

Obama promoted his clones in all areas of strategic governance for eight solid years. Remember all those military personnel he fired? It will take a considerable time to flush them all out.

It is wrong for the military and we disagree. We have had a standard for a long time and it has worked well. NO need to change.

Basic Training is DESIGNED TO KILL "DIVERSITY"!!!!!

That's a GOOD THING!!!

You can't develop unit cohesion and mold a group from 60 differing backgrounds into an operating unit, ready to follow orders, by catering to "diversity"!!!!

I noticed something similar during a Veterans Day parade thru downtown Chicago. There were many ROTC and JROTC units marching, mostly high school kids and even a few junior high. They meant well, of course, but they were . . . not at all impressive. A shocking percentage were significantly overweight, they were out of step, sloppy in ill-fitting uniforms, mostly minority (of course this was Chicago), and at least 50% female. Yes, I know the children are our future, but it’s just as well warfare is going high tech.

The Sikh's have always been valiant warriors and their distinctive beards and head-wear has never been an impediment to their effectiveness.

Sikhs are a proud warrior class and I’d be honored to serve with anyone of them. So yes, diversity is wonderful.

It probably can be reversed. But nowhere in recorded history has it been shown that it was. Theoretically, it can be. In reality, it has never happened. The military and Department have told President Trump to go fornicate with himself. And up until now, gotten away with it.

That’s nice. If they want to be like them they can go join them instead of the USAF. There is a place for everyone with their own kind.

More fallout from the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Obama ran out all the warriors.

The only flag officers left are the one who saluted the transgenderizing of the military.
