Can My Husband's Workplace Police My Language When He Is Off The Clock?

Location: Arkansas

My husband recently started a new job. During orientation, they made it clear that anything he does while possibility representing the company can and will reflect on him professionally. This includes being off the clock but in uniform and having "unbecoming behavior" in a public place. That's normal, I get that. However, hubs told me that means I can't say even mild cuss words or act anything less than professional if I'm around him and he is in uniform. That doesn't sound right, or legal for that matter. I don't go around cussing people out, and I don't use any manner of slur, but apparently I can't even cuss if I get hurt or call someone out for being rude or he could get fired. He works in a private sector job, not for the government in any manner, but his uniform is VERY noticeable.

For context, hubs is on the spectrum and has a really hard time with gray language. I'm more inclined to believe his company meant "don't be a perk while representing us," full stop, but he's so anxious about it I figured I'd ask here and either put his fears to rest or be proven wrong.
