Have you seen this ladies?
I understand you represent the military at all times. However, it feels to me that they are more concerned about things like this and less about other pressing issues.
Re: Have you seen this ladies?
67/200
Heh. Actually, most of those things are already in 670-1, they just aren't as strictly enforced or clearly defined. But, OMG the idea of being able to wear a ponytail for PT makes me as giddy as a school girl. Banning sleeve tattoos will super suck but I pretty much agree with anything else.
You know I think for me it was the clean shaven during leave. I know my BIL and DH live/lived for that month off of shaving.
I was excited to see ponytail for PT for ladies!
My H is the same way. He rarely shaves when he's on leave.
I know several people in the AF who ignore the tattoo regulation though and still get sleeves anyway. One guy I worked with in Vegas had to wear a long sleeve shirt during PT to cover his arm after he decided to get one. I can't imagine how awful that is during the summer heat. I would think that would deter others from getting them, but it doesn't because it's not really enforced for everyone.
H also loves not shaving on leave.
I thought they already had the black bag no logo rule. H asked me to find one, before he realized his old flight bag would work.
Yes, women can. I actually didn't realize that men couldn't. Odd.
And the black bag no logo rule does exist but I wonder if they're trying to get rid of people using ACU pattern stuff.
J's unit actually had a talk about the possibility of the sleeve thing being enforced. Nearly 90% of that unit has sleeves. That's going to have to be something they need to consider.
The part I really take issue with is when he says, "We all generally look alike and we need to remain that way." No, I'm sorry. I take issue with that. We don't all look alike nor should we. Uniform and appearance regulations are in place for us to remain professional and to not distract from the mission. It sounds too much to me like he's wanting to go back to the all white, male Army of the past.
They have permanent eyelash extensions... I've been thinking of getting some. Lol.
You'd be surprised the stupid crap people do. I absolutely hated going out in the feild with other plattoons because people would bring crap like flat irons. It smelled like a French whore house in are bays or tents because these chicks were dousing them selves in perfumed crap.

This chick says her makeup is with in regs for natural looking makeup. No, it isn't.
Um, no. And who wears that much make up daily? Good lord. I don't put on that much make up when we go to the ball.
Yep!
Regs currently say bun if your hair is long enough to touch your collar.
If they're in the PT uniform with a ponytail, they're dead wrong. The reg doesn't specifically say bun but it says your hair can't be "free falling" so most chicks do the bun or a french braid(and bun the bottom).
Female Marines can PT with pony tails.
And I need to learn to freedom braid.
