modern primitives, returning to a living with nature lifestyle


Alternative Lifestyles and Subcultures

I couldnt survive in the wild. i love meat but i cant kill something myself. let alone gut and skin it. I remember a time on my grandmas farm where she killed a chicken in front of me for soup. i would not touch it.

But if you admitted that you were gay before the policy got changed you got kicked the fuck out. losing all your benefits and pension.

Killing people should most def. be against every moral fiber of every human in the entire universe, we should all love one another, lift each other up and grow as a whole together. But sadly this also isnt the case. Were all wired and raised to believe different things. So if you try to hurt me or my loved ones... i will kill you. plain and simple, i will always protect mines

that was back in Vietnam though. and if its part of your religious beliefs chances are killing people is also against those beliefs. This is straight out of the regulation book for the airforce "AFI 36-2903"

Cleanly shaven heads, military high-and-tight or flat-top cuts are authorized. Prohibited examples (not all inclusive) are Mohawk, mullet, cornrows, dreadlocks or etched design. Men are not authorized hair extensions. See Figure 3.1 for sideburns, mustache and beard and for graphic examples of male hair standards.

the only exception i could find were for beards which read:

3.1.2.3.1. During tours of less than 30 days, Air Force Reserve (AFR) and Air National Guard (ANG) chaplains not on extended active duty may request a beard waiver for religious observance when consistent with their faith. For AFR waiver processing instructions see AFMAN 36-8001, Participation and Training Procedures. For ANG waiver process instructions contact ANG/HC.

But this is only for beards and when doing a tour of less than 30 days.

Here it is from the army "r670_1"

18. Hair and fingernail standards and grooming policies
a. Hair.
(1) General. The requirement for hair grooming standards is necessary to maintain uniformity within a military population. Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. It is not possible to address every acceptable hairstyle, or what constitutes eccentric or conservative grooming. Therefore, it is the responsibility of leaders at all levels to exercise good judgment in the enforcement of Army policy. All soldiers will comply with the hair, fingernail, and grooming policies while in any military uniform or while in civilian clothes on duty.

(2) Male haircuts will conform to the following standards.
(a) The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. The hair must present a tapered appearance. A tapered appearance is one where the outline of the soldiers hair conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination point at the base of the neck. When the hair is combed, it will not fall over the ears or eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block-cut fullness in the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained. In all cases, the bulk or length of hair may not interfere with the normal wear of headgear (see para 18a(1)(a), above) or protective masks or equipment. Males are not authorized to wear braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted, individual parts of hair) while in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized.

Swat is a special response team and alot of those guys are undercover's so they can look however they want to fit in with criminals. they can probably even get away with having tattoo's on their hands and neck.

I have seen plenty of "professionals" like doctors lawyers with locks but never have i seen the person at McDonald's take my order with some wild ass loc's. If you chose to fight for your rights when you haven't been called back after an interview how will you prove that they didnt hire you based on your hair? they will just say they found someone more qualified than you.

SE i asked someone in the military if it were possible to keep long hair. they said there is no way in hell unless you are already in and work OSI then you can grow your hair and beard to fit in with locals. Ive never in my life seen a WHITE cop with locs or a beat cop with hair past the shoulders. Im sure if you work undercover you would be cool though. Alot of corporate jobs probably still wont hire you. how are you going to prove they discriminated against you for your hair after the interview? I also think its alot easier for black people to get hired as its much more accepted for them to have loc's
