Air Force members will not walk or stand with their hands in their pockets while in uniform, except to insert or remove items. Which actions are prohibited?

• A. Walk or Stand
• B. Sit or Lean
• C. Run or Jump
• D. Clasped behind back

Answer: (A)

Maintaining proper uniform bearing means your hands should not be in your pockets while you are walking or standing in uniform. This keeps a neat, alert appearance and communicates readiness. You’re allowed to put your hands in pockets only briefly to insert or remove items, but otherwise they should not be in the pockets when you’re moving or standing at attention. That’s why walking or standing with hands in pockets is prohibited. The other actions listed don’t involve keeping hands in pockets while moving or standing, so they don’t match the stated rule.
