Diamond Tips

By Master Sgt. Lisa Peele 14th Airlift Squadron first sergeant

The weather is starting to get cooler as we head into the fall. For those Airmen who perform physical training in the morning, here are some things to remember when wearing cold weather accessories with the PT uniform and improved PTU:

· Cold weather accessories may be worn outdoors only.
· Knit watch cap will be plain, solid black, dark blue or sage green without logos. Bandanas and other similar headscarves or headgear are not authorized unless due to medical waiver condition.
· Gloves will be plain, solid black or dark blue without logos.
· Scarf and earmuffs will be solid black or dark blue. Earmuffs may wrap around either the top or rear of the head.
· Green or black fleece is not authorized to be worn with the PTU or IPTU.
· Do not mix or match the current PTU running suit jacket and running suit pants with the IPTU jacket and pants. All other combinations authorized.
· Long sleeve undershirts are not authorized with the short sleeve PT shirt. If you want your arms covered, you may wear the long sleeve PTU shirt, sweatshirt or PTU/IPTU jacket.
