So last week I was at the chow hall with another girl from my squadron, and we see this SSgt wearing nearly black lipstick across the room. This is very obviously out of regs as makeup is to be conservative and lipstick can not contrast with your skin tone. She was obviously a higher rank than me or the airman I went to chow with, and neither of us said anything even though both of us desperately wanted to. She looked ridiculous. It was so bad that some male airmen at the table next to us noticed it and asked us about the reg. Anyway my question is, is it appropriate to confront a higher rank when they are blatantly disregarding regs?

PS There was a visiting 2 star across the chow hall at the time
PPS Sorry the pictures are so bad. We were far away.

Dam straight.... We had a security check in Pearl Habor and the Capt had a "No ID - No Wine" in the POD. I was standing the Quarter watch and I challenged everyone including officers. The OD, usually an Ensign or maybe LtJg git nervous everytime I did it. But, I had the 45 side arm and OD had nothing.

As ship's "Secretary," I was expected to keep the officers and chiefs up to date on reg changes. I was expected to know the regs. If I had a situation like this, I would make sure that I would catch her out of ear shot of anyone and say something like, "Serg, I was just keeping up on the regs. Why don't you drop by the Ship's Office and let me know how we should remind our female (solders/sailor/airmen) staff on the dress regs."

3, 324 architects and engineers more than 15,000 scientists, including 52 Nobel laureates and 63 recipients of the National Medal of Science, some 320 skilled commercial of military pilots (Pilots for 9/11 Truth), and some 58 elected public officials are saying that scientific irrefutably evidence proves that the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by explosives and incendiaries.

There is also a video of yellow colored steel dripping off the side of the south Twin Tower just before it collapsed. It is not aluminum metal because it is silver color as a liquid.

Yes

Be tactful

Know the REG/Policy

But be aware always that there will always be petty people and be prepared for that.

A good way to do it is to ask that person a question about the Reg or Policy on the infraction that you've observed.

Absolutely if done professionally. Did the 2 star make any comment to her in this regard? Call the higher rank off to the side one on one. Try not to embarrass or grandstand. Explain to the higher rank that wearing this type of lipstick is unauthorized. See what type of response you get from the higher rank. More than likely you will receive a "do as I say, not as I do" remark. But at least you did try to correct the higher rank. If it persists, go to your first line supervisor and have them run this up the chain...BLUFF: be professional and courteous when communicating. Isolate the conversation to a one on one situation (This will allow the higher rank to "save face" in front of her peers and or subordinates alike...good luck! Hoooah!!

In this instance you would want to address it privately. I should note that I have a friend ( a specialist) who did not confront his First Sgt. about misstating weight measurements and PT scores, and he got a dishonorable discharge along with the First Sgt. and the other senior NCOs involved.

We were having family day, but before anyone was allowed to change into civies. An A1C was with her family and her hair was way too long to be down. I pulled her aside and told her her hair was way below the bottom of her collar and needed to be put up. I would never have tried to embarrass her in front of her family. I was an E7.

I figured there was no regs regarding make up in the Air Force. But any other military department, let me know how that goes. Lol If she’s a higher rank, chances are she knows she is out of regs. Otherwise, how’d she pass the board? She is full aware she is out of regs and doesn’t give a hoot.

I think we all know the right answer. However, we also know what actually happens in that situation.

It is appropriate if done correctly and with tact. When correcting or pointing out a regulation violation to a higher ranking Soldier you sometimes have to walk on eggshells. First of all do it away from your peers and anyone else (if possible); second of all be prepared to cite where the reg is (such as the reg number, page, and paragraph) and try to be specific about what it says. Be respectful and address the person by their rank and if you are standing, make sure you are at parade rest. If that NCO. gives you a hard time then just walk away. Don’t argue. You did your part. If your heart is really set on it you could bring it to the attention of a higher ranking NCO, or find out what unit that NCO is in and report the incident to your chain of command starting at the lowest level (which is usually your team leader or maybe your squad leader. Whatever you do, don’t make a scene or don’t approach with a cocky attitude because you will lose right from the start.
