How often are females required to wear skirts in the Air Force?

Question

I know the skirt is given in Basic, but would you tell me how often we're required to wear the skirt? Is it an option or a requirement to wear it? how often?

Answer 1

Right now, we only wear blues on formal occaissions, because we're warriors, etc.  

You will have to wear a skirt to semi-formal events, usually dining-in, dining out, etc.  If you are bothered by your legs or something, you might want to invest in a mess-dress, it will set you back about $300 but it looks cool as h**l and the skirt is floor length with a discret slit up the back for movement.

Some career fields, like maintenance, wear blues once every 3-5 years (on the events listed above).  

Answer 2

Check your 101 card for the dress. Or search for coustoms and courtecies.

Answer 3

During basic you wear the cameo uniforms. Dress uniforms come into play the graduation week. I believe the females decide on what uniforms to wear, or the TI does it for them. Rarely did the females wear a skirt, may-be for graduation that's all I remember. As for when you get to your job there's either a uniform of the day or you wear what you want. I know most females at my base wore pants.

Answer 4

You dress according to the daily dress code.  

Answer 5

Females never have to wear the skirt with their blues. They can wear pants instead.  

Answer 6

command discretion.. each CO has the option to set policy and declare what uniform is to be worn
