I'm not saying there shouldn't be a standard for both tattoos and haircuts. I just think we're focusing on the wrong areas. I think physical fitness and MOS proficiency should be the first place the Army starts.

Absolutely correct, Give the soldiers a quick class on the
new standards ensure they know and understand them. Then get back to SERGEANT
TIME TRAINING and training on the important things such as the total soldier
concept.

SFC S.,
I completely agree, while grooming standards are a priority for military standards, I think that there has been some over the top issues related to tattoos, while I understand the professional need, tattoos have been a part of military heritage going back a lot farther than any of us could remember.
I do think that physical and mental fitness along with MOS/job proficiency should higher on the mentality list than tattoos or grooming, although important in their own right.
