  • Award head and shoulders have the subject positioned beside a U.S. flag in front of a light blue background. These photos are typically taken during Annual Awards Season.
  • Full length photos show a subject at the position of attention in uniform in front of a while background with the subject visible from head to toe. These photos are typically used for DSD applications, special assignment applications and Annual Awards Season.
  • If you need to change into your uniform, arrive in uniform or 15 to 20 minutes prior to your appointment time
  • Your uniform and appearance must be in compliance with AFI 36-2903.
