Shaving my head bald before bootcamp

They will...however, the RDC's watch VERY closely when the new recruits get off the bus and take notes on what each looks like and how they appear and what they are wearing...baggy pants, looking like a total slob, shaggy hair, or just shaved bald showing a very pale head compared to the rest of their face. Looks do make a difference when they arrive, I had my boys wear nice jeans, a polo shirt, and clean shoes..they have always had VERY short hair, so they went with their normal hair cuts. Justin was picked for the 900 division for the navy and asked to be a Navy Honor Guard and Clay was picked as the leader at his army boot, then picked to become Honor Guard for the Old Guard at Arlington as he came already looking "squared away", as that MOS is picked at boot very early.
