Soldiers just completed a 32-hour mission on the road. They get to a tiny FOB in Iraq and have 12 minutes left to grab food before the chow hall closes. The Soldiers are not freshly shaved and cannot easily access their personal hygiene items therefore technically out of regulation. Would you enforce the standard and make the Soldiers immediately go shave or would you not enforce the standard and let the Soldiers go eat?
With so many responses on RP about how we don’t have the right to pick and choose which standards we enforce, what would you do?

SSG V. Michelle Woods I don't see why there would be a problem, as long as they have this on.

Apply a little common sense. Get the soldiers fed, then make personal hygiene the next priority after, then work out what is next..

If those soldiers just went through a 32 hour mission they deserve to get a good meal. Yes, we all know the standards are there for a reason but there's also common sense and doing the right thing. Sometimes the two don't mean the same thing.

Have run into this situation many of times. Turns out my men and I, we are eating. The foreigners checking IDs can shove it.
