Tattoos and body piercing's are not allowed for PMA applicants. These are all checked during the medical exams and are grounds for disqualification. It's the same case for those applying for Commissionship or Enlistment in the AFP. |

Tatoos are a sign of the times. Whats wrong with it? I guess when you overdo it and make it visible then it tends to offend others. At the SM Mall of Asia one day I just couldn't help notice a lot of females walking around with them and several of them had them noticeably visible in the most attractive areas. They were sexy by all means and they intentionally made it visible..... |

Tattoo keeps man out of U.S. Air Force basic training By Jessica A. York Vallejo Times-Herald Posted: 12/01/2009 11:54:43 AM PST Updated: 12/02/2009 09:05:50 AM PST BENICIA — It wasn't a sexy half-naked lounging lady. It doesn't say "Mom." Josh Parker's months-old tattoo just says his first name, in Hebrew, a language he said he admires. But those six inches of lettering running across his right biceps were enough to bar him from entering the U.S. Air Force on Monday under a policy instituted just last week for those not fully enrolled in the service. Parker, 18, was called to his recruitment office Monday morning, the day he was scheduled to report for basic training, for a review of the tattoo. "They said, 'Can you salute me?' and they were just like, 'Oh,'" Parker said of his surprising turn in luck. Bags packed and good-byes wished, Parker found himself shocked and alone when he was told his tattoo now meant a "no go" for the Air Force. "They didn't know what to say or to do," Parker added. "I'm just kind of confused about why they couldn't have contacted me over the weekend." Parker joined the Air Force's delayed entry program in March, and he has been waiting since graduating from Benicia High School for a job to open up in the special forces division. "There are no tattoos (allowed) on the right arm or the hands — that's the modification," said Christa D'Andrea, chief of public affairs for Air Force Recruiting Services in San Antonio. "(It is) in an effort to keep up the military image." The recruiting policy was adjusted when Air Force physical training outfits — the ones members exercise in — were designated as official uniforms for the military branch. The short sleeves of physical training outfits reveal arm tattoos, particularly when a salute is being executed, recruiters told Parker. The former policy allowed for tattoos that covered no more than 25 percent of the skin — a regulation Parker had strictly complied with, and even had measured and documented the same day the policy was instituted, he said. D'Andrea said she does not think the tattoo policy change will affect recruitment. Based on the first week of the modified policy, though, D'Andrea is forecasting the barring of about 15 delayed entry program recruits a week, she said. Recruits as far advanced as basic training could be affected, but not those beyond that point, she said. Each case will be looked at individually, D'Andrea said, and recruits will be able to re-enter the program at the point they left off if they choose to remove their tattoos. Parker's parents were upset Monday after hearing the news. Parker said he did not yet know what he will do next — remove the tattoo or consider another military branch. "Everything he's been training for, working for, preparing for — it's all shot," said Parker's dad, Kevin. "He's given a year of his life waiting on this thing — not going to college in the fall (and) passed up on some jobs." http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13901104?source=most_viewed |
