Does anyone know what kind of dress code is required for the academy? Is it just completely casual? Are jeans and a T shirt acceptable?

You're kidding right?? Use the SEARCH feature, and would ANY other job let you show up for training in "jeans and a T shirt"?
This is what I found doing a search through Air Traffic Control for OKC dress code. Enjoy.

Well my question was in regards to the academy. Obviously at my facility I will don the khakis and collared shirt or whatnot, but I figured classes would be more casual.

Dude, it ain't college. You're getting paid to learn, and by taking that paycheck you're accepting their conditions of employment. Part of that is the business casual dress code.Well my question was in regards to the academy.

I just thought I'd throw this out there... please atc students, don't go buy square toed dress shoes please. Or if you that's what you have, burn them and realize that they were fashionable for a very short period of time in the early 2000s. Just go with classic dress shoes, there are many to choose from: oxfords, bluchers, captoes, wingtips, mocc toes, norwegians, ect.

When buying dress shoes, you should consider the last (the foot shaped model) that they're built on. Decent dress shoes and boots will tell what last they are on. Then with a little research and/or trying on, you can determine what last is best for you. I have about 10 pair of sneaker/trainers that I haven't worn in years because I discovered that a properly fitted boot or dress shoe (size, width and last) will conform to your feet and be incredibly comfortable. The wingtip boots i'm wearing right now (trickers) have only the leather insole w/ no cushion and do not need any. They are among my favorites and most comfortable.
BoomerSooner, I'm with you on the toe room. I hate having my toes constriced. My only pair of black shoes I have are on a tapered last that I cannot stand. Take a look at the Alden Tru-balance last (same last the famous Indiana Jones boots are built on) for some nice toe room.
