What is the authorized size of the mustache?

• A. Mustaches will not present a chopped off or bushy appearance, and no portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line, extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of the mouth.
• B. Mustaches are strictly prohibited.
• C. Mustaches must cover the upper lip completely.
• D. Mustaches may extend below the lower lip.

Answer: (A)

Mustache length and placement are kept neat and unobtrusive. The allowed style is one that does not look chopped off or bushy, does not cover the upper lip, and does not extend beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of the mouth. This combination ensures a clean, professional appearance and compatibility with protective gear and standard uniform standards. The other statements conflict with these grooming rules: some say facial hair isn’t allowed at all, some require the mustache to cover the upper lip, and others permit dipping below the lower lip.
