Which statement correctly describes the requirements for female earrings in the AGSU?

Which statement correctly describes the requirements for female earrings in the AGSU?

• A. Earrings may be worn on both lobes and cartilage if they are small.
• B. Earrings are not permitted under any circumstance.
• C. Earrings must be worn in matched pairs (one earring per lobe) and cannot be worn in the cartilage, industrial, transverse lobe, tragus, or conch.
• D. Earrings may be worn as a single earring per person regardless of location.

Answer: (C)

Understanding how the AGSU presents a uniform, professional appearance helps explain why earrings are restricted to a very specific placement. Earrings must be worn in a matched pair, with one earring per earlobe, so the look remains balanced and understated. In addition, jewelry may not be worn in cartilage areas such as the upper ear regions (including cartilage, industrial, transverse lobe, tragus, or conch). This keeps the overall appearance clean and uniform and avoids any hooping or dangling pieces that could snag on gear or disrupt the streamlined silhouette of the uniform. The emphasis is on small, conservative studs that sit in the lobes and are symmetrical on both sides, reinforcing a neat, professional look.
