You would think that being on a military base and cutting hair regularly, the barbers on base would be pretty proficient at cutting almost the basic type of military haircuts. In my experience, they are the worst barbers. I always go off base for my cuts. Maybe once a year or so, I give it a try again and my claims are re confirmed.

My point proven again today. I had no doubt. I went to the barbershop next to the PX and asked for a "LOW reg". Walked out with a high and ridiculous.

They rarely fail me with a high and tight. What do you consider to be "almost the basic type of military haircuts"?

Well that is pretty basic to get a high and tight. The chief goal is to get a proper fade regardless of the style (high/low). But usually they can't even get that right. 99% of time, I can't spot a on post haircut.

I use nothing but on post. I get my hair cut weekly, so I prefer the $8-12 on post vs $20 off. I used to feel bad downrange - you come in dripping sweat and the poor girls had to deal with that. Glad I don't speak Russian so that I couldn't hear about how nasty I smelled.
