Male grooming standards to be loosened (yes to beards and longer hair). It we had imposed such only on female soldiers, the DoD would have been accused of sexism.

with terrorism concerns, our troops should not be easy to find in civilian clothing.

Everyone saying hands in pockets 'cause they're cold.... Get some gloves. The spirit of the reg is so you don't have joes standing around with hands in pockets or walking with hands in pockets.
I would like to see a change to the mustache section. As long as it is clean and you don't look like a hobo, I think the 'stache should be allowed to be shaped/size per individual. Smaller mouths make some "in regulation" mustaches look weird. No beards but I don't see the heartache that SGMs have for mustaches. Some people look rather sharp with 'em.

SFC Randy Markgraf - There used to be two different lengths of shoulder marks: the shorter ones were to be worn with any uniform item on which the longer ones didn't fit properly. Usually this meant women's Class B shirts, Men's Class B shirts in the smallest sizes, and the black pullover sweater. Do they still make the shorter ones?

Sgt Joseph Baker - I don't work with my hands in my pocket. I put my hands in my pockets when they are cold.

SFC (Join to see) - When a Marine's hands get cold, they kill something and thrust their hands into the steaming entrails to warm them up. Nothing like hot blood to warm the fingers!

I would agree with many here so far. The close cropped and maintained beard should bt GtG. And don't give me that BS about Promask seals. Either the current or former Canadian minister of Defense is a Sikh and designed a mask to work,properly with a beard. So BS rule. Also I agree with relaxing the mustache regs a bit. Only time I ever shaved mine off was when coming home from the field when we had to wear war paint. It was easier to shave it off than try and get that crap out of it.

Really old saying, probably fake, but I'd like to think it's real...
"A Marine with cold hands and empty pockets is a stupid Marine...".

Remove all the excess patches, pins, brooches, fuzzy dice, curb feelers, and bobble head crap from the uniforms. The army goes way overboard to distinguish everyone from everyone else. One force = one fight. The Marines resisted the ridiculous name tapes for many years before being ordered to put on that crap. All the "my unit is cooler than your unit" leads to nothing but trouble IMHO. When going into combat, they should absolutely be sanitized; yet we see silly patches on most. I have plenty of shiny shit to hang on my dress uniform, but utility uniform should be naked. (8 years Marines 0351/0251, 9 years army and guard 11B/97E/91W)

The grooming standards in general need to be relaxed. Especially while on overseas assignments (for force protection, in order to blend in with the locals) and while on deployments to the Middle East (in order to better relate to the locals culturally).

Did they get rid of those stupid berets?
The old overseas cap was great with Kakis or the old green Class As. You could not beat the BDU cap, it had a good visor to keep the rain off your glasses, flaps to keep your ears warm in the winter , kept your hair dry in the rain and you could stuff it into your pants pocket when you had to take it off
