Dress, personal appearance standards
As the seasons change, so do our uniform tendencies. With colder weather approaching, ensure you know what can and cannot be worn with ABUs. Visit www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/dress/policy.asp for the most current and up to date uniform information.

Here are some tips: Did you know the “Ranger Roll” is not authorized for the ABU/BDU hat? Additionally, the ABU/BDU hat may not be altered in any way. The hat should not be pushed, rolled, folded or tucked. Refer to AFI 36-2903, table 2.2, rule 6 for guidance. 

Furthermore, the ABU/BDU sleeves may not be cuffed under (similar to the way those who wear the flight suit cuff their sleeves). Finally, watch caps may only be worn when wearing either the green fleece or APECS.  They may not be worn with only the ABU/BDU.

Every Airman is responsible for enforcing Air Force dress and personal appearance standards.

Traffic Announcement
New speed limit
The speed limit for Vogelweh Housing is now 20 kph, down from the previous 25 kph limit. Security forces will be enforcing with stops and warnings.

There are also signs posted about cell phone use while driving.  This should not be new, and cops are expected to stringently enforce this.
