Out of the box question

I had the EXACT same idea! But I heard it's bad to shave your head before boot camp because it'll single me out... I'll just trim it or put like a sticker on it or something.

I'm not saying shave your head completely like they will at RTC because yeah they probably will call you out. I'm just going to get it cut a few days before I leave just short enough to see it. I usually get my hair cut kinda short already anyways for comfort, so if they call me out then there's nothing I can do about it lol.

True. That's pretty much what I think boot camp will be- being called out for something out of our control...

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.
