Jewelry

Picture
● Chaplains International follows Biblical teaching when it comes to jewelry and adornments.
● In 1 Timothy 2:9 NAB, Scripture tell us, “Women should adorn themselves with...modesty”.
● Therefore, Soldiers may wear a wristwatch, a wrist religious or identification bracelet, and a total of two rings (a wedding set is considered one ring) with
    Chaplains International uniforms, unless prohibited by the commander for safety or health reasons.
● Soldiers may also wear one activity tracker, pedometer, or heart rate monitor.
    ○ Any jewelry or monitors Soldiers wear while in uniform or civilian clothes on duty must be Jewelry○ conservative.

● Bracelets are limited to medical alert bracelets, missing in action, prisoner of war, killed in action (black or silver color only), and religious bracelets  
    similar in size and appearance to identification bracelets.
● Soldiers are authorized to wear only one item on each wrist while in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty.
● In addition to the one item (watch or identification bracelet) authorized to be worn on each wrist, Soldiers may wear an activity tracker, pedometer, or
    heart rate monitor.
● Male Soldiers may wear a conservative authorized tie tack or tie clasp with a necktie.
● Female Soldiers may wear conservative earrings.
● No jewelry, can appear exposed while in uniform, or in civilian clothes on duty.
● Pens and/or pencils of any color may be worn exposed in the pen/pencil slots on any uniform with such slots.
● Attaching, affixing or displaying objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to, through, or under their skin, tongue, or any other body part is prohibited.
● This applies to all Soldiers on or off duty. 
   ○ The only exception is the wear of earrings (See paragraph below). (The term “skin” is not confined to external skin but includes the tongue, lips, inside
       the mouth, and other 
surfaces of the body not readily visible.)
● Females only are authorized to wear earrings with the Class B service, Class A dress, mess, and evening mess uniforms.
   ○ (1) Earrings may be screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond. The earrings will not exceed 6 mm or 1⁄4 inch in
      diameter, and they must be 
unadorned and spherical. When worn, the earrings will fit snugly against the ear. Females may wear earrings only as a
      matched 
pair, with only one earring per ear lobe.
   ○ (2) Females are not authorized to wear earrings with any Class C uniform (utility, culinary, physical fitness, field, or organizational).
   ○ (3) When in civilian clothes on duty, female Soldiers must comply with the specifications listed in subparagraph (1), above, when wearing earrings,
      unless otherwise authorized by the 
commander.
   ○ (4) When male and female Soldiers are not in uniform and off duty, earring wear is not restricted as long as the earrings do not create or support ear
      gauging (enlarged holes in the 
lobe of the ear, greater than 1.6mm).
   ○ Ankle bracelets, toe rings, necklaces, faddish (trendy) devices, medallions, amulets, and○ personal talismans or icons are not authorized for wear while
      in uniform or in civilian clothes on d
uty.
   ○ The use of gold caps, platinum caps, or caps of any unnatural color or texture (permanent or removable) for purposes of dental ornamentation is
       prohibited. 
Teeth, whether natural, capped, or veneered, will not be decorated with designs, jewels, initials, or similar ornamentation.
   ○ Unnatural shaping of teeth for nonmedical reasons is prohibited.
   ○ Commanders may consider waivers for permanent caps that were applied prior to the effective date of this regulation. Such waivers must be approved
​       by the first O–5 commander 
in the chain of command and documented in an official memorandum, which must be uploaded to the Soldier’s record. A
      picture of the 
permanent caps must be appended as an enclosure to the memorandum
