What do you guys think of the Army backtracking on AR 670-1? Shouldn't these things have been done before it was put out? Or is it something that they needed to implement and then change?

Soldiers who could not commission due to changes in the tattoo policy now have the ability to commission through the use of a CDR's endorsement.
I know a few Soldiers personally who were affected by the previous AR 670-1 update. I'm glad they can now apply. The last changes came swiftly and caught many Soldiers off guard. What's your take on this?
"The revised policy makes clear that soldiers may request a commissioning or appointment so long as they have their commander’s endorsement. The Army tightened up its tattoo rules in its March 31 update of 670-1. The rules, which remain unchanged today, mandate that soldiers have no more than four visible tattoos (smaller than the size of the wearer’s hand) below the elbow and knee. Bands must be no more than 2 inches wide. Sleeves on the legs and arms are also outlawed." via ArmyTimes
