I have another uniform question. If you have regulation short hair but you have a beard or goatee. Are you able to wear the blue nomex flight suit instead of the sage green nomex flight suit? I see that you can wear the blue utility coveralls. But if you wanted to be part of the air crew can you wear the fireproof nomex material instead of the poly/cotton material?

Yes, you should wear the Blue NOMEX flight suit.

Thank you. It did seem common sense to do so. But in the CAPM 39-1 it doesn't say explicitly.

The blue flightsuit is an alternate uniform. It is authorized for personnel not meeting the standards for wearing the green flight suit.

If you have a beard or goatee, the blue flight suit is the only fire resistant (fireproof is not an accurate term) flight uniform option.

Thank you. I stand corrected "fire resistant".

Yes: the blue is for us fat and fuzzies, either cotton or nomex.
