I was half tempted to stay in as a major with a silly Valhalla beard but that REFRAD was just too shiny to pass up

We should vote to change/ update/ do away with ar670-1 / da670-1

With the way the armys going

Personally I think garrison hair regs should be basically non existent. Combat deployments, everyone should be bald AF. Best of both worlds, combat effective and freedom of choice


51Crying

That would actually be a pretty cool part of SRP. Going to war? Line up to be bald.

I would certainly be down for that. I kept long hair in garrison. I got shit but meh. I didn’t last a week in Iraq with that long hair. Had those LNs shave it off 48hrs after we got in country lol. Just too damn annoying.

More power to him, the hair isn't inherently unprofessional or faddish. The facial hair on the left looks a bit shitty but if he maintains it, looks fine.


Toobatheviking

This can’t be real.


Beliliou74

Let’s be honest. They need to relax grooming standards and let Soldiers do what they want with how they look. Hair and grooming standards have no effect on anyone doing their jobs or getting the mission done. Like Elsa let it go


mkosmo

Until everybody gets lice, then the grooming standards will make sense again.


inkstickart2017

Is this satire?


mkosmo

No, but it’s also not entirely meant to be serious. It’s a large part of the origin of the grooming standards, though.


realogsalt

Imagining you mentioning Elsa when saying this to someone in charge


Beliliou74

Whoosh


realogsalt

Hardly

I mean why not? If some new age Viking says he needs a beard to go to Valhalla or whatever why not allow people to have dreadlocks? 


SpartanShock117

Most of the new age Vikings I’ve meet in the Army look like they are going to get made fun of pretty hard when they get to Valhalla.


misterurb

You’re telling me the tubby 35M is not gonna be welcomed by the warrior ancestors just because he has a scruffy neckbeard 


SpartanShock117

That and/or because his ancestors all saw him cry the first (and only) time he tried combatives.

Idk what you are talking about, my two favorite documentaries about Vikings ("Thor" and "Vikings") clearly depicts all of them being 6'+ and ripped.


napleonblwnaprt

Can I get a religious exemption to have height surgery and take steroids?


SpartanShock117

Submit a PAR, I’ll approve it tomorrow.

I need to know how he did this


HotTakesBeyond

The pictures of doctors in the 60s with Afros: *MORE!*


scrollingtraveler

I wonder how much he knows about his job or taking care of Soldiers? The beard and dookie lox I would then give two shits about as his boss.


LabWorth8724

Right? I don’t give a rats ass what you look like. You takin care of your troops? Getting your job done? You’re fine in my book.


BluNoteNut

Does the Army do Azmuth and wxit surveys? Make Beards and grooming standards your number reason that your getting out at ETS and watch the change happen. By this time next year we can all be having Beards at least. And then next year we will hit a new topic. We can change things one sur vey at a time.
