so Ive been reading up on regulations for military uniform and hairstyles. So some veterans say yes some say no. I'm really confused as to if i will have to say goodbye to my dreads if i want to serve my country. I was just wondering if anyone knew of had any opinions on this topic.
I found this in the rules:
"Leaders will judge the appropriateness of a particular hairstyle by the appearance of headgear when worn. Soldiers will wear headgear as described in the applicable chapters of this regulation. Headgear will fit snugly and comfortably, without distortion or excessive gaps. Hairstyles that do not allow soldiers to wear the headgear properly, or that interfere with the proper wear of the protective mask or other protective equipment, are prohibited."
