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.
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"!!!!
There go’s the uniform policy.The new policy is to choose whatever headwear you like.
What other policies will Air Force Change?Its not looking good.
Uniform. It’s right there in the very word.
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.
Exactly
Still some Obama generals hanging around. Who the hell is the Secretary of the Air Force President Trump?
The air force? As long as the military doesn’t I guess.
Sikhs are a proud warrior class and I’d be honored to serve with anyone of them. So yes, diversity is wonderful.
chAir force - bump for later...
Bring on the mutant dwarfs in wheelchairs! There is a place for all!
Diversity makes us strong!
Disgraceful!!!! Just letting more enemies within our ranks.
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.
So then, I get to wear my Pastafarian Crown?
If not, someone’s gonna get sued.
