Females Hair

Are females allowed to have any bobby pins in their hair?

Had my hair cut to "navy regs" and ended up having to cut way more off than intended. Now it stays on my face!

Yes, Bobby pins are allowed during RTC. I think 2 are allowed. There is a post somewhere on Navydep that displays hair regulations.

In A-school/the fleet yes.

In bootcamp, bobby pins are a privilege. We earned them after 3 to 4 weeks, and there was always the threat that they would be taken away, although it never happened.

I've heard rumors for the past year or so but I heard they are changing female bootcamp hair regs starting JAN012015. So girls no longer have to cut their hair for bootcamp. I'm not saying I believe this considering I heard this rumor a year ago but has anyone heard the same thing?!Thanks!

Yup... and RTC is extending to 36 weeks to incorporate grenade launcher training.

With a simulated deployment where they lock you into your ship for 15 weeks and randomly call fire drills and man over board drills requiring the whole ship to muster on the roof.

But, on the plus side, the dessert cart comes by twice during meals now...

I have a heck of a time getting my hair into a bun. My hair is super thick and mid back length. I use gel, hairspray, everything!!! It just falls apart after a couple hours or so.

Wait so you're saying yup that you don't have to cut your hair starting JAN 1st and my basic training with be 36 weeks now?! What?! I'm so lost sorry.

Beth Hassino and I are joking, boot camp is still eight weeks and you have to cut your hair.

Quarter Master, I'd just keep your hair short to avoid bun fallout for your whole career.
