MCAS Civilian Clothing Guidelines

Download a picture of the Dress Code Poster that is posted throughout MCAS Iwakuni. The following is directly from the text on the poster. I don't make the rules, but be assured that the employees at the commissary, exchange, and other areas on base enforce them! If you are denied entry or otherwise reprimanded for inappropriate civilian attire, gracefully accept the correction, go change, and return with a positive attitude. These people are only doing their jobs, please don't give them a hard time. For all SOFA Personnel and Family Members APPROVED: Clean and serviceable shirts. Shirts will be buttoned and tucked in unless square cut and designed to be worn outside trousers or shorts. Clean and serviceable trousers or shorts with a belt (if belt loops are present) are the standard.
