SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  Airmen now will be able to submit ideas for improving Air Force uniforms with a few simple clicks of a mouse.

By logging into the Air Force's IDEA Program Web site, Airmen can select a link that allows them to submit an idea for a uniform change or update. 

Once submitted, ideas are routed through the same channels as other Innovative Development through Employee Awareness, or IDEA, suggestions. Any suggestions that make it to the Air Force level will be forwarded to and reviewed by members of the Air Force Uniform Board.

This process is designed to make it easier for Airmen to submit suggestions and better defines ideas by allowing Airmen in the field to provide input to the uniform board without having to wait for major commands to ask for their input.

"You will see a faster process, and you will also see more efficiencies in the system," said Col. Paul Price, an Air Force Uniform Board member. "That will allow us to make better and more timely decisions."

The Virtual Uniform Board also will allow Air Force leaders to be more responsive to the field and provide more flexibility to board members while saving time and money.

For further questions, contact the Air Force Personnel Center Contact Center at (800)616-3775 and selecting option 1, 1, 2.
