But trying to adhere to regulations in my unit. What’s authorized as a PPE face mask when in uniform (e.g. scarves and bandannas)? 2020-11-16T04:37:31-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 6502735 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There’s a bit of confusion around this.

Are they getting yelled at by members of your unit or by others on post? There should be either a unit or post policy on authorized face masks.

This should be a non issue. Ask your command what the policy is.

I still (when required) wear my woodland camo commercial mask with filter and vents, as it allows me to inhale and exhale more freely.

Problem solved. I’m sure that don&#39;t want masks with clown faces on them, or mustaches etc. Keep it simple and dull in color, or go ask your Company Gunny, or 1st Sgt.

If you are really in doubt - ask you First Sergeant for guidance.
