AR 670-1 Racially Biased?

Not really ... I knew a white female soldier with blonde hair who had natural highlights who had to dye her hair so it would look more "natural".... see, it affects white females also.

I am just waiting for someone to say that MRE's are racist, everything else is.

I am tired of the PC crap. If it doesn't go your way, the first knee jerk reaction is its racial or sexist. B.S. Follow the standards or get out.

I am honestly fed up with everything nowadays being marked racially, sexually, or religiously insensitive. Christ, it seems like one cannot have a conversation without one of those three being addressed. I honestly do not know what racism is anymore as it is now a label for everything.

If men can wear a turban. Then woman should be able to wear braids if it doesn't interfere with the wearing or the appearance the uniform

in modern times we have lost sight of the fact that, a claim in the media of bias does not equal bias

I do not think so, but I also learned in my Army career what I think doesn't always carry the day. It is about what Soldiers think. So, it appears there is concern, so it needs to be address no matter it leads.

I think what is important is that all Soldiers can understand, agree with and support the rules. We need a 670-1 that is clear and concise, so we all know what is acceptable and what is not. I just want Soldiers to look sharp, and professional.

There are reason we have grooming standards, one of which I was told, to ensure you can wear all Army headgear and also to ensure you don and seal year pro-mask...

That should be the test... Can you wear the beret or patrol cap and look professional (yes still subjective)... and can you don and seal your pro-mask in within the standards.

I was going to respond but @1SG(P)EW covered my answer better than I could have.

There are a lot of good statements and some great ones about AR 670-1 and it’s changes here in the forum. But the one thing that I have always been told by Leadership, “The Army is not a Fashion Show for Males or Females. We are a Fighting Force that is to be reckoned with and must show PROFESSIONALISM
at ALL times“. Weather a Solder is on or off duty, you are expected to uphold the Standards (or Higher Standards) set forth in the UCMJ.
If this is NOT a Standard you can not uphold, please get out of the ARMY and go find a job with less standards. The Military is NOT for you at all. Please don’t get me wrong, you joined for a good or great reason, I’ll stand and salute you for your Service. But as for AR 670-1 being Racially Biased sir, not at all.
