Airmen can now have longer mustaches, according to the latest dress and grooming policy released Thursday by the Department of the Air Force. They also have been granted more flexibility to wear certain unit patches when assigned to joint missions with the Space Force.
Meanwhile, the Navy has slightly relaxed its prohibition on beards by allowing them to be worn by retired sailors while in dress uniform, new guidance from that service says.
The Air Force, Space Force and Navy have all released new grooming and uniform policies this week, offering progressive updates to facial hair length, tattoo locations and makeup options.
