I'm sure there's a few of us out there that have memories or stories from their days visiting the "barracks barber." Perhaps you were the one holding the clippers or maybe the unfortunate 'customer,' in either case, I'm sure some interesting and/or funny situations resulted from firing-up-the-clippers! So, break out your best stories, we want to hear them! Feel free to share any photos, videos, links or anything else that helps to tell your story. This should be a blast folks, now pull up a keyboard, and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

I was at the barber shop on the Ronald Reagan back in '07. I was sitting there getting my haircut when the Command Master Chief walked in with another Sailor,sat him down in the chair, took the clippers from the brber, and proceeded to give the guy a "CMC Special." Turns out, the CMC had told the Sailor on two other occasions to get a haircut. When he saw the Sailor for the 3rd time, he took matters into his own hands and personally walked him to the barber shop, and cut it for him.

When I was in AIT, we had a soldier in the barracks who would cut his platoon's hair naked. Yes, naked. His thought process was that he wanted to avoid getting hair on his clothes. Sad part was, he was actually pretty good at it.
I paid the $6 at the shopette.

I would Run, swim, walk, jump, or row away from that situation. If I couldn't get away I would use the skissors and follow Loraine's bobots example. Even a Dumb Shih Tzu knows what to do.

Here the only pic of me getting a "barracks cut", but it was outdoors in the sand box. Don't remember the barbers name, but he said he felt honored to cut a SGM's hair.
