The military..

[imported_goku]

^Topic summary. Would you? Or could you just make it short instead..?

 

[maddogchen]

i don't think the barber gives you a choice in boot camp

 

[Powermoloch]

I'm fine if I get my head shaved, helps my skin or scalp more healthier or cleaner of somesort

 

[dug777]

i hope so.

 

[suse920]

Yes

 

[Chompman]

Helps us men that are going bald to feel better for a bit.

 

[Xephian]

I don't think you have a choice either.

 

[imported_malcontent]

Didn't have a choice when I was in boot camp, of course that was about 30 years ago.
Things might have changed.

you know why the military requires very short hair right?

it's for when you're in combat the enemy can't come upon you and yank you hair around and do whatever.

Lol. Ummm no. It's to prevent head lice and other parasites as soliders sometimes go a month or more without a bath.

Yea um they'd definately hate me cause my hair grows REAL fast.

 

[gooseman]

No, you don't have to. They will be more than happy to do it for you.

But it's a FREE HAIRCUT!!!

 

[cirthix]

see, no rebates either

 

[huberm]

while in basic training they buzz all of your hair off. Once you get out of there you can choose the style you want, as long as it
a)doesn't exceed 1 1/4" in bulk
b)tapered appearance
c)no "flashy" styles
d)no weird hair colors
e)NO HAIRS TOUCHING YOUR EAR

of course that is what the air force wants, not sure about the other services

 

[FoBoT]

they shave your head at the beginning of boot camp

and i think we got another hair cut half way through

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

At Army Basic Training (which I just got back from), they buzz your head the first day (btw, you have to pay for it) as well as about every 1.5-2 weeks throughout training.
