Squadron Standardization Officer

Squadron Standardization Officer (Squad Stand-O)

If you’re assigned to be the Squad Stand-O for this upcoming LLAB, here are some basic tips:

• Take note in the standardization of uniform wear, placement of belongings during LLAB, and where we will put our water bottles and covers in the classroom.
  
  
• Having any extra items such as pens, or tape for water bottles are helpful in case anyone in our flight forgets it.
  
  
• BE ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL. The little things are all too often overlooked, such as proper hair wear for the ladies, or proper tie wear for the men.
  
  
• Anytime you feel that the flight is not standardized, ask the DFC for “permission to standardize the flight."
  
  
• Send out an email to the flight reminding them about standardization during the LLAB. Use the email template below for reference if you are unsure of how to format your email or what to write (just copy, paste, and edit as necessary).

DESCRIPTION:

1. Good (greeting of the day) Cadets! As your Squad Standardization Officer for the week I would like to address the following in regards to proper standardization.

2. Uniforms must all be worn appropriately. (Talk about the Uniform of the Day *UOD* and how it should be worn). Also, keep in mind that while walking to class, you must either carry a solid black, ABU pattern (ONLY when in ABU's) or dark blue bag on both shoulders. If you do not want to carry the bag on both shoulders, the bag should be carried in the left hand, so as to allow you to render a salute when appropriate.

3. In the classroom during LLAB, water bottles will be placed on the front edge of the desk on your left side, with names visible to the front of the room. Be sure to have your knowledge books, a pen/writing utensil, and the week's Ops Orders on you at ALL times. Remember that names must be standardized on all water bottles, so use duct tape and permanent marker to accomplish that task, with your name written as "C/YOUR LAST NAME".

4. Remember to keep up on proper turnout! Men must maintain hair standards, so get cuts as needed. Women, wear your hair according to AF standards as well. When in uniform, hair must not extend below the bottom edge of the collar of your shirt. To ensure this does not occur, pulling your hair into a tight, neat bun is best. Use only your hair colored bobby pins and ties to keep everything in place.

5. Always keep in mind that we are representing the Air Force 24/7, and we must therefore always look our best!

6. If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached by phone at (your#) or email (your address@).
