Tats are becoming more accepted in normal society and the military is slowly starting to "catch up."Response by PO1 John Miller made Jun 4 at 2015 3:08 AM2015-06-04T03:08:02-04:002015-06-04T03:08:02-04:00PO1 William "Chip" Nagel721635<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wouldn't hold my breath on it. Air Force has always kept their noses just a little higher than the rest of us.Response by PO1 William "Chip" Nagel made Jun 4 at 2015 3:36 AM2015-06-04T03:36:05-04:002015-06-04T03:36:05-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member721701<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'd be surprised if the Air Force follows suit. You have such a different culture from the rest of us, and I can't picture full sleeves being part of it.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 4 at 2015 5:01 AM2015-06-04T05:01:41-04:002015-06-04T05:01:41-04:00Col Private RallyPoint Member721714<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They may allow sleeves, but if they do, I see them requiring them to be covered will in uniform.Response by Col Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 4 at 2015 5:25 AM2015-06-04T05:25:22-04:002015-06-04T05:25:22-04:00MSgt Michael Durkee721818<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I could see it being a remote possibility, but not likely based on the fact the sleeves wouldn't be able to be concealed/covered when wearing the PT Shirt or Short Sleeve Blue Shirt.Response by MSgt Michael Durkee made Jun 4 at 2015 7:16 AM2015-06-04T07:16:39-04:002015-06-04T07:16:39-04:00WO1 Private RallyPoint Member722237<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Eventually. They Military and Air Force may change slower than society, but eventually when they can't meet recruiting and retention numbers they will be forced to change.Response by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 4 at 2015 10:42 AM2015-06-04T10:42:11-04:002015-06-04T10:42:11-04:00TSgt Joshua Copeland722310<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not anytime soon. We seem to be going the route of making standards more strict.Response by TSgt Joshua Copeland made Jun 4 at 2015 10:58 AM2015-06-04T10:58:39-04:002015-06-04T10:58:39-04:00MSG Brad Sand722538<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think the reason the Army cut sling in 1948, was so the Army Air Corps could do whatever they wanted in these types of matters...since they became the Air Forces has continued to whatever they wanted.Response by MSG Brad Sand made Jun 4 at 2015 12:10 PM2015-06-04T12:10:47-04:002015-06-04T12:10:47-04:00SrA Erin Hood723394<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Personally, I would hope not. <br /><br />Although I do love art, and support a person's right to do as they ought (including tattoos and body modifications), I myself have no tattoos.<br /><br />I just don't think that such a policy would reinforce the highest level of standards for active duty Air Force members. <br /><br />Perhaps it would be interesting for the Air Force to conduct a branch-wide survey of all its members and see what the real consensus is compared to the standing policy.<br /><br />Members are citizens with rights too, but Mission, Standards and Doctrine are what sets a branch apart form the others.Response by SrA Erin Hood made Jun 4 at 2015 4:43 PM2015-06-04T16:43:19-04:002015-06-04T16:43:19-04:002015-06-04T03:05:00-04:00
