Air Force ‘standards update’ includes more inspections and review of ‘waivers and exceptions’
Story by Jeff Schogol • 13h
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin announced that service leaders will be conducting more formations for uniform inspections and will review policies and standards that look at ”waivers and the exceptions.” The message is the latest indication that Air Force leaders believe rank-and-file airmen need to more rigidly follow dress and appearance rules than many now do.
“We’re also directing that, episodically, we have the formations come together in uniform to do a couple of things,” Allvin said in a video message to the force Friday title “Standards Update.” “The first thing is to be able to look at yourself, look at your teammate, hold yourself and him or her accountable to ensure that you’re in standards.”
Allvin did not specify what the review would entail. An Air Force spokesperson confirmed that it would look at uniform and appearance issues.
“Although the initial review of policies and standards largely relates to dress and personal appearance, the scope is not limited to those only,” the spokesperson told Task & Purpose. “The goal is to ensure all policies and standards are easy to understand, easy to comply with and easy to enforce.”
