Although they are still a long way from their own version of AFI 36-2903, the US Space Force has issued a memorandum establishing their own dress and appearance standards.
It covers Operational Camouflage Pattern Uniform as well as Service Dress, Maternity, and Mess Dress uniforms wear along with physical fitness uniforms.
This includes several new accoutrements.
Patches can be PVC or woven cloth versions.
The memorandum also goes over grooming standards which allow neck tattoos, facial hair and lipstick as well as nail polish guidance.
Read the full guidance here.
I’m totally going to get a neck tattoo to commemorate Jody, the first green skinned space chick I ever banged.
Neck tattoos???? Just how many tech-savvy hood rats and MS-13 gang bangers does Space Force need to recruit? I just KNEW that growing this organization out of the crumbled culture of the Air Force was going to be disaster.
I just glad my favorite shades for lipstick and nail polish got the green light. Now I can straight from work to the club.
Explain to me how not having neck tattoos improves force effectiveness.
Explain to me how tolerating, adopting and wallowing in the symbolic indicators, the aesthetic, the mannerisms, the “uniform” of one or more destructive, self-destructive, sociopathic defiance-based, violent criminality-based counter-cultures with roots in various failed societies and death cults (Aztec human sacrifice and cannibalism, Third World tribal warfare, “Prison culture”, etc), all of which are exactly antithical to military good order and discipline, stated Armed Forces values, foundational American values, and the premises of Western Civilization…explain to me how that improves force effectiveness?
Meanwhile half-trained Ukrainians in jeans and gardening gloves are beating the Russians wearing man buns and eyebrow rings. This stuff is just dress ups.
Uh, no they’re not beating anyone.
To be true to its purpose, the U.S. military cannot be a mirror image of the society it serves. Values that are admirable in civilian society — sensitivity, individuality, compassion, and tolerance for the less capable — are often antithetical to the traits that deter a potential enemy and win the wars that must be fought: Conformity, discipline, unity. Sadly, without this as a nation will pay with lives and blood of our military members.
That service cap looks straight out of “Warhammer” or some Japanese anime space opera – but at least they got their approved nail colors squared away… Are they still going with the “Battlestar Galactica” style dress uniform?
Hat.. over stated silly
Are the shoe taps in the next revision of guidance going to be gold or silver?
Side story, perhaps is first time a US military branch is making PVC patches standard?
Perhaps we need a Patch Force
