How to Wear:

Hair/Nail Regulations: 

       - No unnaturally colored hair. You can have brown, blonde, natural
          red, etc., (and you can also dye your hair these colors) but no fire
          truck red, blue, green, etc. 
       - On uniform days, your hair must be in a low tight bun. Make sure
          that your bun does not touch your collar, though.You may wear
          braids, a donut bun, sock bun, etc. so long as it is in a tight, low
          bun. 
       - You may wear nail polish IF it is a light color, or a nude color.
​          Light pink, light nude, white, and french tips are all acceptable. 

Lightweight Blue Jacket!!
       - Your metal rank goes on your lightweight blue jacket and your
          service coat. For the lightweight blue jacket, the rank is parallel to
          the outer edge of your collar, and centered up/down and left/right
​          on your collar. 
       - When wearing your lightweight blue jacket, you must have the                zipper zipped up 3/4ths of the way.

Service Dress!!
       - For both enlisted and officers, your metal rank will go on the collar
          of your service coat. It will sit halfway up the seam of your collar
          with the metal wing corner just barely touching the seam, but not
​          overlapping it.
       - Service dress is ALWAYS long sleeve with tie.  

Officers! Your uniform is a little different than enlisted.
       - You will NOT wear metal rank on your blue shirts. Ever. You get
          shoulder epaulets (shoulder pads), instead of a metal rank on blues
          shirts.These slide onto your shoulder flaps with the arrow pointing
          to your neck.
       - You will wear 1 single metal rank on the left side of your flight
​          cap. The bottom of the rank will be parallel to the ground. It will
          sit 1/2- 1 inch from the bottom of the cap, and 1 1/4 inches from
​          the front edge.

Uniform tips and tricks:

Blues shirts:
       - Your blue name tag will sit on the right side of your shirt. The tag
          will sit centered left to right, in line with the second button. 
       - Your ribbon rack (If you have any ribbons) is centered on the seam
          on your left pocket. Your ribbons are arranged in order from right 
          to left from least important (Bottom right of the rack) to the most
          important (Top left of the rack). See "Ribbons, Shoes, and Ties" for
          a ribbon rack builder and the ribbon chart. 
       - Your metal rank will sit center on your collar left/right and
          up/down. The wing tips of your rank should not be touching the
​          seams.
       - If you have a cord, it will sit on your left shoulder, pinned onto the
          shirt underneath your shoulder flaps. 
       - Long Sleeve (LS) uniform days are ALWAYS with tie!
       - Your tie tab will Velcro around your neck like a bow tie. The
         edges of the tie's "Collar" will line up with the edges of your shirt's           collar.
       - Always button the top button when wearing a tie. If not wearing a
          tie, you can leave the very top button unbuttoned. 

Blues Pants:
       - Loop your belt through your belt loops to the right. (See belt video
​          below)
       - Your gig line is made up of the edge of your belt buckle, the
          portion of your pants covering the zipper, and the edge of your
          shirt's button line. These three lines should be lined up straight                with each other. 
       - Your socks MUST be black!! Not navy blue. BLACK.
