Hijab, Beard Approved As Part Of United States Air Force Uniform by FIRSTSECOND: 6:21pm On Feb 20, 2020 |
Sikhs and Muslim officers in the United States Air Force can now wear turban and hijab as part of their military uniforms. According to the Air Force updated dress code reported by CNN, officers can also keep beards. Under the new guidelines, which were finalised last week, Sikhs and Muslims can seek a religious accommodation to wear turbans, beards, unshorn hair and hijabs, and expect to be approved as long as their appearance is "neat and conservative," except under extremely limited circumstances. The final review for the accommodation must take place within 30 days for cases in the United States, and 60 days for all other cases, according to the guidelines. And for the most part, airmen can expect the religious accommodation to follow them through their career. Previously, Sikhs and Muslims serving in the Air Force individually requested religious accommodations that were granted on a case-by-case basis, but the approval process could be lengthy. This update standardises that process and outlines a formal timeline for approval. Source : http://saharareporters.com/2020/02/15/hijab-beard-approved-part-united-states-air-force-uniform |
