Double Standards in Units: What are your thoughts on this, and does your unit have them?

SSG(P) (Join to see), the standard is the standard. It is defined by Army Regulations, and enforced through command and general authority. There is no place for double standards in any unit because it takes away from good order and discipline and is the seed that can spawn rifts in unit cohesion. Does it happen? Yes. Have I witnessed it at times over my career? Yes. The best thing to do is be the standard bearer. That is a job that is not for everyone. The standard bearer is at times "unliked" and even ridiculed. However, it is a role that we should all strive to attain. If something is wrong, it is wrong for everyone. That is the only way that we as Leaders can ensure a single standard is expected, enforced, and met.

Forcibly shaved? I have a feeling that EO is the least of your units problems...

My gut tells me that if this is true, there is a fear of an EO complaint if the female soldier is reprimanded over the hair regs. Perhaps I am paranoid, but I have a feeling I am on the right track.
