I think along with many other think this tattoo policy needs to go away. I am barred from becoming a warrant officer because i have a sleeve tattoo. Seriously? I think this is complete bs. I have my pilots license on the civilian side i have passed all my Army pre reqs. So why can't i become a warrant offer? Because i have a tattoo and thats bs many great soldiers and potential great leaders are being screwed out of advancing to the top. Wjat do you guys think?

Bullshit, i call it. I was there when they allowed tattoos on the neck. Then started kicking people out for it. Who cares they let the gays in, were going to let the transgendered oh and women in. The army needs to go back to vietnam era standards.

In light of the conversation, the times we live in with LGBT now policy, a tattoo policy could use a change... Just saying - what is more professional vice what is more socially acceptable in uniform? Enjoy your new conversation piece with the Army policy makers if you choose the good fight! In other words, don't bitch and moan about it, work to get the policy changed! What if a burn victim chose a sleeve to cover, are they are no longer professional?

If their not cut out to be NCOs, someone's not doing their job! The Army trains every E-1 to be a NCO!

I think you should worry more about English Composition and effective communications more than your tattoos.
I wouldn't allow you to become an officer, either, based soley on your inability to communicate on a level that suggests you actually are educated.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
Or dumb down the standards so anyone can play.
I for one think my army should have the highest standards possibe. But that's just the opinion of one old soldier who still thinks the mission of the army is to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic. Social justice (tattooed freaks) look at me, I'm more important than the mission types being just one of many domestic ones.

@PFC David McLeod You are claiming to be an 'Old Soldier' as a PFC? To be a Pfc took me 8 months, how long did you serve?

I won't defend the rank I acheived or the time it took. I did my service. You got a bone to pick that's fine don't beat around the bush and spit it out. I'm a long time civilian now so I'll speak as freely as I please.
