Depending on when you leave for boot, shaving your head can be a good idea...just dont do it for the first time like right before you go! Both my sons always all their lives have had either flat top hair cuts or buzzed. So their heads werent "tender white" before going. They both were tanned evenly with buzzed heads so it wasnt like they were trying to get around having their heads shaved again. Now my son that is now out of the navy STILL keeps his hair very short..my army son always "bics" his head every other day. Both of them have the problem of their hair growing fast.
