About this file
This document is an excerpt from a military uniform and appearance regulation manual, specifically addressing Air Force Flight Duty Uniform (FDU) and related apparel standards.
The regulation establishes mandatory uniform component specifications and authorized variations for Air Force personnel. Key requirements include: Coyote Brown combat boots as the authorized footwear style with specific visual examples provided; watch caps in plain solid black or coyote brown without logos for cold weather wear; Coyote Brown (Tan 499) undershirts and T-shirts as standard issue for flight duty uniforms; and thermal undergarments in white, black, cream, or coyote brown. The regulation authorizes optional Friday morale T-shirts in unit-approved heritage colors for non-deployed personnel not participating in exercises or assigned to joint or Space Force units, with organizational emblems limited to five inches in diameter on the chest and larger sizes permitted on the back. Nametags on flight uniforms may incorporate call signs, with enlisted personnel required to display rank followed by call sign and last name. All undergarments worn during flight operations must be cotton or fire-retardant material from the approved safe-to-fly list. Wing commanders maintain lists of approved colors for their respective wings, and commanders retain authority to ensure uniform standards reflect proper military discipline, morale, and professional image.

Flight Clothing Accoutrements
(Changed) 9.4.3.2. Nametags with call signs are authorized for daily wear on flight duty and desert flight duty uniform nametags. Officer nametags may incorporate the member’s call sign or first name followed by last name. Enlisted personnel will incorporate rank, followed by the member’s call sign and last name (Example: ‘MSgt “Bat” Masterson’). Commanders will ensure that nametags are in good taste and reflect proper military order, discipline, morale, and professional image. When worn, patches must be consistent in color to patch configuration worn.
Flight Duty Uniform Undergarments
9.7. Undergarments. Undergarments are required with the FDU and DFDU. During flight operations all undergarments, to include cold weather undergarments, must be cotton or fire-retardant material and must be on the safe to fly list. Undershirts will be Coyote Brown (Tan 499). Additionally, when authorized by the unit commander, USAF members may wear colored T-shirts on Fridays provided the member is not deployed, participating in an exercise, or assigned to a joint or Space Force unit.
The color must reflect the authorized heraldry and heritage colors of the member’s assigned unit.
Commanders may authorize members of supporting units to wear the same-colored T-shirts. For example, maintainers and flight surgeons may wear the same T-shirts as the flying unit they support.
Wing commanders will maintain a list of approved colors for wear within their wing. Wing or squadron commanders may approve display of organizational emblems, as officially and currently approved, not to exceed 5-inches in diameter, in cloth or silk screen on morale undershirts. If displayed, organizational emblems will be worn on the left side of chest of the Friday morale T-Shirt.
The morale T-Shirt may also display the organizational emblem on the back of the undershirt in a larger diameter as authorized by commanders. Thermal undergarments (i.e., dickies, turtlenecks, or mock necks) will be White, Black, Cream, or Coyote Brown-colored and are authorized with the FDU/DFDU as weather conditions warrant. Note: Only items approved as Safe-to-Fly will be worn during flying operations.
