Is anybody else glad they changed the tattoo rule back?

Here is my take on Tatoos...I DON'T GIVE A SNOT!!! They are not harmful and are personal to the individual. What in the world do they have to do with readiness and warfighting...here is the answer...absolutely nothing. I personally don't agree with them and won't ever get one because I don't want anything permanent like that on my body...twenty years from now that eagle will become a buzzard and that angel will become a crow...it is a personal choice and not worth spending the millions of dollars we have on telling folks to cover it up or to get them removed or not allowing them to join because more than a 4th of a body part is covered in ink. No telling how many recruits we have lost due to stupid policies. NOW with all that being said I do have an issue with tats that are offensive, sexually, racially, or anything else that could drive a division among the ranks...that does effect readiness, and those should not be allowed or need to be covered or removed. Just my honest opinion.

my opinion for what its worth is fine have a tat.. but not on face neck hands.. when in dress or class As uniform don't want to see one and definitely no funny ear hole thing..

Here’s my take. An individual joins the Armed Forces, the Armed Forces doesn’t join them. When enlisting in a branch the standards/regulations, for behavior, dress, conduct, etc are spelled out. If one cannot live by these standards/regulations, then here’s a sticker and thanks for dropping by.

I ETS’d in 1997 after 15 years in the Army. I saw a lot of changes I didn’t like on my way out. As a veteran of 28 years, I can’t believe how discipline has lost its hold in the military. AR 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia has been weakened along with the discipline. I can only imagine the lack of discipline with soldiers’ behavior. I hope I’m wrong…
