Squared Away AI helped me pass my board inspection with zero corrections. It’s a must-have app for service members."
Squared Away AI is the smart, all-in-one app designed to help military personnel meet appearance and uniform standards across all branches. With AI-powered scans, personalized guidance, and professional board simulations, it ensures service members present themselves with precision, discipline, and pride.
How we dress and carry ourselves in public often influences how others perceive us, and this holds especially true in the military. Uniform standards for dress, grooming, hair, and physical fitness are essential in fostering discipline, cohesion, and professionalism. The military emphasizes appearance because it reflects an individual’s dedication to its core values. A well-groomed, physically fit service member not only demonstrates personal pride and respect but also embodies readiness and the honor of representing their unit and country. Now, there’s a powerful new tool to help service members maintain these high standards: introducing the innovative Squared Away AI app—a digital platform designed to ensure military personnel meet appearance regulations with confidence and ease.
In the military, the term “squared away” refers to a service member who presents a sharp, professional appearance and carries themselves with confidence and discipline. Across the six branches, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard, there are roughly 25 to 30 uniform variations. Squared Away AI is a smart, user-friendly app designed to help service members meet essential military standards in three key areas: Uniform & Appearance, Hair & Grooming, and Height & Weight Compliance.
Getting started is simple: just create a profile with your name, branch, and rank. From there, you’ll be guided through each of these sections: Uniform & Appearance: Here, you can follow step-by-step dressing instructions, including correct badge and medal placement. You can also upload a photo of yourself in uniform—either worn or on a hanger—and Squared Away AI will scan and evaluate your look, ensuring all elements are properly aligned and measured. Hair & Grooming: Using facial recognition, the app scans your hairstyle and grooming to confirm whether you’re within current military regulations. Height & Weight: With over 68% of military personnel classified as overweight or obese according to a recent study by the American Security Project (as cited in Military Times and RollCall.com) this section helps you prep for your height and weight exam. It calculates your Body Fat Percentage, checks compliance, and offers personalized tips for improvement.
A standout feature is the Professional Boards Interview & Evaluation section. Just set your phone at a distance and let the app simulate a full board’s experience, coaching you through questions and posture. And for a bit of motivation or fun, you can activate the Drill Sergeant mode, where a virtual sergeant will bark out orders to keep you sharp!
Squared Away AI was developed by U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Bill Lodewyk, who emphasizes, “While appearance doesn’t define a person’s worth, it influences how others perceive character, confidence, and capability. Squared Away AI helps sharpen your overall appearance, an essential edge in meeting both professional and societal expectations.” Because excellence begins with presentation, download Squared Away AI today for your free trial period on iOS or Android.
