Blues

Air Force style service uniform

Considered as a "service" or "office" uniform, the basic [class b] uniform consists of uniform oxfords or pumps, dark blue uniform trousers or skirt, dark blue uniform belt with silver buckle and tip, light blue short sleeve (or long sleeve as appropriate) uniform shirt or blouse, and appropriate male or female flight cover. For new cadets this is largely available via the Curry "voucher" earned after the first promotion to cadet airman.

NOTE: The male neck tie and female neck tab are only worn by flight staff in the Squadron, therefore new cadets need not worry about having to have a tie or neck tab.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: While not depicted below, blues are always worn with a white v-neck tee shirt and not a white crew neck.

Note: As of 01 AUG 2021, all service coats worn will be of the "new style" (i.e. the jacket will only have three pockets and look more like a suit jacket).
