(i) All personnel will wear a reflective safety belt or vest while participating in PT, working in a detail, performing police call on or along an improved road, or performing duties as a vehicle convoy guide on Fort Bragg. The belt or vest must be visible from the front and rear and unobstructed (not concealed) by clothing or equipment.
(j) Troopers will not wear headphones while running, foot marching, or riding bicycles.
(k) Leaders and supervisors will brief these guidelines prior to runs and foot marches and ensure compliance is followed throughout the duration of the event.

Mixing of civilian clothing and military items, unless prescribed by AR 670-1, is prohibited. The black overcoat/raincoat, black windbreaker, black pullover sweater, items of the IPFU, and footwear may be worn with civilian clothing as long as the rank insignia is removed.

Soldiers will not remove their ACU top while driving their POV; the only item that may be removed while driving a POV is the headgear. While operating or riding in tactical military vehicles, appropriate headgear will always be worn: beret or patrol cap in garrison; ACH or Kevlar in the field.

When required and prescribed by the commander, Soldiers may attach keys or key chains to the uniform when performing duties such as charge of quarters, armorer, duty officer/NCO, or other duties as prescribed by the commander. Keys or key chains will be attached to the uniform on the belt, belt loops, or waistband

(1) Only one electronic device may be worn.
(2) The device may be either a pager or a cell. If the commander issues and requires the use of other electronic devices in the performance of duties, the Soldier will carry them in the hand, pocket, briefcase, purse, bag, or in some other carrying container.
(3) The body of the device may not exceed 4x2x1 inches. The device and carrying case must be black; no other colors are authorized. If security cords or chains are attached to the device, Soldiers will conceal the cord or chain from view.

While in uniform, personnel will not place their hands in their pockets, except momentarily to place or retrieve objects. Soldiers will ensure that articles carried in pockets, such as wallets, checkbooks, combs, and keys, do not protrude from the pocket or present a bulky appearance.

Chains and necklaces will not be worn with the uniform unless of religious nature or used to hold a religious medallion. Only one religious item may be worn. If worn, it will be worn inside of the t-shirt without being visible.

(1) Clothing worn as an outer-garment which is obviously intended to be worn as an undergarment. This does not include T-shirts.
(2) Clothing with obscene, slanderous, or vulgar words or drawing to include clothing which makes disparaging comments concerning the US Government.
(3) Articles of apparel which depict drugs or drug paraphernalia, or which advocate the use of drugs.
(4) Articles of apparel and grooming which could cause a sanitation problem or prove offensive because of a lack of cleanliness.
(5) Bare feet in any facility except one where footwear is not appropriate, such as swimming pools. Sandals or shoes without socks or stockings are authorized.
(6) Attire that is immodest or likely to offend other patrons (ex., males without shirts in public areas other than recreation areas where such attire is appropriate; females wearing transparent or semi-transparent garments; and persons wearing spandex type bottoms and tops or swimwear as an outer-garment except at fitness centers and swimming pools).
(7) Swim wear, "short" shorts, and halter tops worn by females are appropriate for sunbathing but are not appropriate for wear in on-post facilities.
(8) Civilian trousers will not be loosely worn so that the undergarment is exposed.
(9) Hair curlers are not authorized for wear, except in beauty parlors or when covered by a scarf or hat. Scarves of any kind will not be worn on the head by any Trooper, on duty or off duty on post.
(10) It is prohibited to wear items of current military uniforms by unauthorized persons or mixed with civilian clothing (with the exception of the black pullover sweater or all weather coat, with the insignia of rank removed, and the physical fitness uniform).

b. You may wear the ACU in all post facilities (theaters, AAFES, PX, service clubs, etc.) at all times, as long as it presents a neat, military appearance.

c. Unrestricted wear of the ACU is authorized off-post on normal duty days between 0500 and 1900 under the following conditions

(a) The hair on top of the head will be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair will not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. The hair will, at a minimum, present a tapered appearance, where the outline of the Soldier’s hair conforms to the shape of the base of the neck. When the hair is combed, it will not touch the ears, eyebrows or collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block cut fullness in the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained. In all cases, the bulk or length of hair may not interfere with the normal wear of headgear, protective masks or equipment.

(b) Males are not authorized to wear braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) while in uniform or in civilian clothes on or off duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized.

(c) Sideburns will be neatly trimmed. The base will be a clean-shaven horizontal line that is not flared. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening. Sideburns must not present a faddish appearance and must compliment the hair style.

(d) The face will be clean-shaven (including prior to the first daily formation/physical training, and over weekends and off-duty periods while on post). If a mustache is worn, it will be kept neatly trimmed, tapered and tidy, and will not present a chopped off appearance. No portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line or extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corner of the mouth. Handlebar mustaches, goatees, unshaven hair under the lower lip, and beards are not authorized. If beard growth is prescribed by an appropriate medical authority, the length required for medical treatment must be specified (i.e., “A neatly trimmed beard is authorized. The length will not exceed 1/4 inch.”) The Soldier must carry a copy of the beard profile on his person at all times.
(e) The wearing of a wig or hairpiece by male personnel in uniform or on duty is prohibited except to cover natural baldness or physical disfiguration caused by an accident or medical procedure. When worn, it will conform to the standard haircut criteria as stated.

(a) Females will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk of the hair are not excessive, and that the hair does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited.
(b) Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head, and any hair-holding devices comply with the standards in AR 670-1. Dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) are prohibited in uniform or in civilian clothes.
(c) Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, which will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned. Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited.
(d) Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are not secured to the head; widely spaced individual hanging locks; and other extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are authorized; however, these additions must have the same general appearance as the individual’s natural hair. Additionally, their style and length conform to the grooming policies set forth in AR 670-1.
(e) Females will ensure all hairstyles do not interfere with the proper wear of military headgear and protective masks or equipment, at any time. When headgear is worn, the hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the collar.
(f) A hairnet will not be worn unless required for safety or health reasons. If the commander requires its wear, it will be provided at no cost to the Soldier.
(g) Hair holding ornaments (such as, but not limited to, barrettes, pins, clips), if used, must be unadorned, plain, and transparent or similar in color to the hair, and will be inconspicuously placed. Beads or similar ornamental items are not authorized.

(1) Males will keep nails trimmed so as not to extend beyond the fingertip.
(2) Females will not exceed a nail length of 1/4 inch, as measured from the tip of the finger. Females will trim nails shorter if the commander determines that the longer length detracts from the military image, presents a safety concern, or interferes with the performance of duties. Females may wear nail polish with all uniforms as long as the color is conservative and complements the uniform. Extreme shades of nail polish such as purple, gold, blue, black, and white will not be worn. French nails are not authorized.

Female Troopers are authorized to wear cosmetics that are applied conservatively (as determined by the commander) and in good taste. Exaggerated or faddish cosmetic styles are inappropriate with the uniform and will not be worn. Lipstick may be worn with all uniforms as long as the color is conservative and complements the uniform. Extreme shades of lipstick will not be worn.

Troopers are expected to maintain good daily hygiene and wear their uniforms so as not to detract from the overall military appearance.

Tattoos, body marks, and other disfigurements do not reflect maturity and professionalism. They are highly discouraged. Tattooing in areas of the body (e.g., hands, knuckles, face, and neck) that would cause the tattoo to be exposed while in Class A uniform detract from a soldierly appearance and are not authorized. Tattoos that are obscene, promote criminal behavior, or extremist views are prohibited.

Physical readiness is critical to the successful accomplishment of the 82nd Airborne Division's mission. It is as important as proficiency in military skills, tactical and technical training, and material readiness. Every Trooper assigned to the Division must be fit to fight. Consequently, every Soldier will strive to take physical training a minimum of five times per week. The Corps and Division standard is to run four miles in 36 minutes. IAW 350-1, sports activities will not be conducted during the hours of 0630-0745.

Weight Control Program. The Division has an active weight control program (Army Regulation 600-9). Paratroopers are weighed in summer PT uniform (without shoes) while in-processing and evaluated by their commander each time they take the APFT, or at least once every six months. Paratroopers who exceed their maximum screening weight or appear overweight will have their body fat calculated. Paratroopers who exceed their maximum percentage of body fat allowance are placed on the weight control program.

(1) Participation in the program for a minimum of 30 days.
(2) Suspension of favorable personnel actions (FLAG).
(3) Dietary counseling.
(4) Health education session/medical evaluation.
(5) Participation in an aerobic activity a minimum of three times per week.
(6) Paratroopers failing to make satisfactory progress after six months of enrollment will be
processed for separation or given a bar to reenlistment IAW AR 600-9, AR 635-200, and
AR 601-280.

(1) Each salute should be rendered with a greeting and response. The Division greeting is, "All the Way, Sir/Ma'am!" The response from the officer will be, "Airborne!"
(2) Saluting distance is recognition distance. If an officer is coming your way, wait until you are about six paces apart, then salute. If the officer is at a distance and turning away, then the proper saluting distance is recognition distance.
(3) All Troopers, officer and enlisted, will render the necessary salute unless the act would be impractical (i.e., arms full of packages), in which case the verbal greeting will still be rendered.
(4) Be alert for general officers and other senior officers' vehicles, which are identified with plates depicting their rank attached to the front of the vehicle. Proper military courtesy requires that you render a salute to these officers as they pass.
(5) The US Flag, as distinguished from "Colors," is not saluted except during the ceremonies of raising and lowering the flag and when it is passing in a parade. The US Flag trimmed on three sides with golden yellow fringe is a Color and is saluted as appropriate. Do not salute the US Flag on the flagpole except during retreat and reveille.

1.Cell phones will be turned off during all briefings and formations.
2.Ear pieces will not be worn during formations or while outdoors.
3.Cell phones are not authorized in the field unless authorized by MSC CSM or CDR.
4.Only one cell phone or pager is authorized to be worn while in uniform.
5.When talking to a senior noncommissioned or commissioned officer, show proper military bearing before answering an incoming call.
6.If the caller does not outrank the individual you are speaking with, do not give precedence to the caller.
7.Cell phone use is not authorized while driving a POV on Fort Bragg unless a “hands free” device is used.
8.Troopers will not walk and talk while operating a cell phone or use any type of blue tooth ear piece while in uniform.

(1) When outside in uniform (not in formation) and you hear "Retreat," you should face toward the Colors, if visible. If the Colors are not visible, face towards the US Flag on the flagpole, and assume the position of "Attention." During retreat ceremonies, all vehicles in the area will stop. Military occupants will dismount the vehicle and render the proper courtesy. When required, the senior Soldier should bring the formation to attention and salute.
(2) If you are in civilian attire and hear "To the Colors" or the National Anthem, you are expected to place your right hand over your heart and remove all headgear.
(3) During an inside ceremony (not in formation), military personnel will stand at "Attention" and will not "Present Arms" unless the ceremony is specified to be an outdoor ceremony conducted indoors.

(1) Clean: All common areas and individual rooms will be neat and clean.
(2) Secure:
(a) Internal: All rooms will have functional locks, doors, windows, and wall lockers.
(b) External: The barracks will be protected from intruders and unauthorized visitors.
(3) Functional: Barracks lighting, heating, and cooling systems, latrines, washers, dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, and other major appliances will be functional.
(4) Safe: Safety will be continually monitored. Hazardous conditions, materials, and situations will be corrected or reported immediately.

(a) Consumption of alcohol while on duty is prohibited.
(b) Soldiers below the legal drinking age will not consume, store, or purchase alcohol, nor will it be stored or purchased for them.
(c) Soldiers 21 years of age and older will store only a reasonable amount of alcohol in their rooms. Reasonable amounts are: 1 bottle of hard liquor and 1-2 six packs of beer (not 2 bottles of hard liquor or 3 six packs of beer).

Although visitors are allowed, they are not permitted to spend the night, live in the barracks, or abuse the visitation privileges. This includes use of barracks facilities intended for Soldiers. Soldiers residing in the barracks may have visitors of either sex in their rooms from 1700 until 2400 Monday through Friday, and from 0800 until 2400 on weekends and holidays. Midnight is established as a reasonable time to end visitation so that all Soldiers can receive a full night’s rest. In no case will visitors spend the night; barracks are not motels. Cohabitation is strictly forbidden. Visitation is a privilege – not a right.

Soldiers may not have contraband in the barracks or in their privately owned vehicles (POVs) anywhere on post. Div Reg 190-2 contains a list of contraband and items prohibited in the 82nd Airborne Division. Examples include illegal drugs, privately owned weapons, pyrotechnics, numchucks, and other items designated by the Commanding General.

Soldiers may carry civilian gym bags, civilian rucksacks, or other similar civilian bags while in uniform. If Troopers choose to carry a shoulder bag while in uniform, the bag must be black/OD green or ACU pattern with no other colors and may not have any logos. Troopers may carry these bags in hand, on one shoulder using a shoulder strap, or over both shoulders using both shoulder straps. If a Trooper opts to carry a bag over one shoulder, the bag must be carried on the same side of the body as the shoulder strap; therefore, Troopers may not carry the bag slung across the body with the strap over the opposite shoulder. There is no restriction on the color of civilian bags carried in the hand.

. Male personnel are not authorized to carry or use an umbrella while in uniform. Female personnel are authorized the optional purchase and use of a plain black umbrella of commercial design. The umbrella is not authorized for use with utility uniforms.

The ACU will not be worn for commercial travel unless authorized by AR 670-1, paragraph 1-10c. The only exception to policy is for Soldiers participating in the Rest and Recuperation program. Any other exception to policy must be submitted to the Deputy Chief of Staff, G1 for approval.

Personnel will not wear the ACU in off-post establishments that primarily sell alcohol. If the off-post establishment sells alcohol and food, Soldiers may not wear the ACU if their activities in the establishment center on drinking alcohol.

The mandarin collar will normally be worn in the down position. Soldiers are authorized to wear the mandarin collar in the up position when wearing body armor or when weather conditions dictate, as prescribed by the commander.

Soldiers will wear the trousers tucked into the top of the boots or bloused using commercial blousing devices or the draw strings at the bottom of the trousers. Personnel will not wrap the trouser leg around the leg tightly enough to present a pegged appearance or insert any items inside the trouser leg to create a round appearance at the bottom of the trouser leg. When bloused, the trousers should not extend below the third eyelet from the top of the boot.

The maroon beret, the symbol of the Airborne, is the standard headgear for all Troopers of the 82nd Airborne Division. It is authorized for wear with all Class A, B, and C uniforms. It will not be worn in the field environment, with the FLC/LBE, or with the IBA/IOTV. The only exception to this policy is when it is the uniform for a ceremony.

The ACU patrol cap is worn with the ACU in field environments when the ACH is not worn, on work details (i.e., post Clean Sweep Operation, limited range preparation, and AARs), or in other environments where the wear of the beret is impractical, as determined by the commander.

Soldiers may wear up to five badges on the ACU. Special skill badges will not be sewn or attached using hook and loop pads on the ACU. All skill badges will be worn above the US Army tape. At a minimum, all Paratroopers assigned or attached to the 82nd Airborne Division will wear the airborne badge if he/she is airborne qualified. Badges will be worn in order of precedence from the wearer's left as follows:

Worn 1/8 inch above and centered on the US Army tape.
