Do you think male Soldiers should know the female regulations in AR 670-1 just as much as the female herself?

Yes I agree that male soldiers should be well versed in female AR 670-1 especially if the male soldier is the females SR NCO, I also feel that female soldiers should be well versed in the AR 670-1 interference to male soldiers, that way there is no room for error and every one is on point and the same sheet of music

Knowing the regulations and standards for all personnel, is essential, In one of my units we had a female solder up for promotion, her uniform was the lime green dress. This uniform has pin on brass stripes on the collar, no US or branch insignia, no unit crest, and no unit patch. This lady had gone through basic training before this uniform was adopted. She had a unit patch, sew on stripes, collar brass and unit crests. We were 5 minutes from the promotion ceremony We had to remove all incorrect insignia s , and replace them with the correct insignia, in time for the ceremony. Unless we the NCOs of this unit knew the regulations this lady would have appeared out of uniform for her promotion, pictures would have been taken and this would reflect badly on the young lady and her leaders.

Everyone should know both. Anyone who wears the uniform is responsible for calling out non-compliance, not just leaders. I have called out jack-holes that were violating regs while I was in civvies. A couple gave me grief until I went Drill Sergeant on their ass. Lmao, everyone remembers what the presence of a DS feels like.

If they have a female soldier, yes! They need to know when that mug is out of regs, because many times females be walking around as wrong as ever but their make NCOs either don't know the regs or are too scared to put them in their place for fear that female start crying like a little wench. Both wrong!

I believe as an NCO or SPC looking to become an NCO if you are to lead you need to know every aspect of AR 670-1

Any damn leader should know the rules and regulations governing them and their soldiers, if you must ask this question you shouldnt be leading

Yes!! 100% they should. As a leader you should know the regulations. And if you are not sure CHECK the reg. I was asked questions about the female uniform regulations on a board by a female 1SG. She said if you are going to be an NCO I better learn them. And you don't want to make a fool of yourself.

Of course, especially if a male has to supervise female soldiers. Generally speaking though, how can you make on the spot corrections if you don't know anything about the regs?

Yes, I do think males should know the female AR 670-1 and vice versa. If you become a Jr. NCO, NCO or an Officer you have to know the regulation for uniform appearance. To point the fact and case... I was in NCO responsible for counseling of a female soldier and when it came time for dress uniform inspection I had to know how the ribbons, name tag, and regimental crest were suppose to be and the measurement.

Of course. As a female in a mostly male aviation world, I was usually the only female in my platoon. It is necessary to enforce the standards as well as inspect the dress uniform for correctness. Vice versa for males for females and regulations for them.
