Superintendent changes uniform policy Published Sept. 15, 2009 U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Mike Gould signed a new uniform of the day policy for Academy personnel here Sept. 7. The new policy aligns the Academy with Air Force chief of staff policy requiring Airmen to wear blues on Mondays and the utility uniform the rest of the week. "Our heritage, culture, image and professionalism is embedded in the Air Force blue uniform -- it is important that we wear it on a routine basis," General Gould wrote in the policy letter. "The utility uniform shows our support for the war-fighting effort and our deployed troops. We must be fit to fight and support the families and loved ones of our deployed troops." "Regardless of the uniform of the day, be proud of who you are, what you represent, and set the example. Your Academy is a critical component in making our Air Force the greatest in the world," General Gould wrote. Commanders may modify the uniform of the day to meet mission requirements, keeping in mind the intent of the chief of staff.
