2013 bootcamp hair regulations

sweetmtn · 10-14-2013, 08:29 PM

It seems I HAD to go further to answer the question...AGAIN. My first response to the question was a simple "YES! The navy is the ONLY branch of the military that requires females to cut their hair... " HOWEVER...that simple answer was questioned AGAIN. I dont know how many times or ways to say the same thing over and over again. So if you think I am getting snarky about it..it gets rather repetitive to get repeating ones self. IF and when the rules change..we will post them as soon as the navy makes it official in their rules.

The last time this thread was even brought up was in February. So things can change. Pardon me for being curious. A simple "the rules haven't changed" was all that was needed. If you don't want to give repetitive answers, don't answer repetitive questions.

While this thread has been dead since February, that question does pop up quite frequently. I've seen it at least 10 times and I haven't even been on here that long. Any thread that asks anything about hair will have it at least once as well as many of the ask the new graduates threads.

That plus the "I heard they're extending bootcamp to X number of weeks" . . . nope, the rumors persist but nothing actually changes.

Nope. My friend helped me take it out I think... after taps the Saturday before gradution so I could have time during holiday routine the next day to wash it and comb it out... etc! I wrote a letter to my mom telling her to schedule me a hair appointment for as soon as graduation ended. I literally spent all my liberty getting another sew in lol

Some MEPS will make you take it out. I know the one in Jacksonville for sure will make you do it bkuz thats what happened to one of the girls i went to A School with.
