I'm deployed and saw this CPL with a ponytail down to the middle of her back. When I approached the Warrant Officer in charge of group he said it's because she's about to fly. I can't find anything in AR 670-1 that states their grooming standards are relaxed. Am I wrong for correcting the Soldier? PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL SFC James J.

I retired back in 2006. I first saw this back in 2019 at Scott AFB. Females with pony tails. I had ask them if that was allowed and was told it was. There is a change to AR 670-1 to that effect, and yes, even though on Air Force base, they were Army. To me, unless flying, should be a no go for the main reason for the safety of that female service member. Get in a fight, not hard to grab it and pull real hard.

Seems like the most up to date I saw was that it could be no longer than the bottom of the shoulder blades. I would find this out of regs myself. I was one that had my hair hounded on all of the time in the Army.
