MEMORANDUM FOR: Members of Air Force Element, CIA
FROM
AF Senior Intelligence icer
STAT
SUBJECT Wear of the Ceremonial Uniforms
1. The attached message from HQ Air Force Military
Personnel Center.defines the phase-in requirements for the new
ceremonial uniforms.
2. Our mission in this Agency requires that we wear our
uniform very infrequently and seldom allows us the opportunity to
participate in parade reviews, changes of command and other
military ceremonies. Our social engagements also tend to be
almost solely in a non-military environment.
3. There, I have determined that the AF/ELM CIA is not a
frequent wear area for purposes of the new ceremonial uniforms.
We will comply with paragraph 2 of the quoted message at the
attachment. You are also reminded that you may purchase the new
uniforms before those dates and that you may wear them
immediately.
