Meet Capt. Maysaa Ouza, the first Air Force JAG Corps
officer allowed to wear a hijab while in uniform. The daughter of Lebanese
immigrants, Ouza was first told she could only request a religious
accommodation to wear her hijab after formally commissioning. But Ouza
challenged this decision and petitioned the Air Force to reconsider its policy.
She was awarded an early religious accommodation and the Air Force allowed her
last year to wear her hijab during commissioned officer training, as well as in
her role as chief of legal assistance at Scott Air Force Base.
