I wonder how this may effect regulations.

We need to stop caving into the media and society and remind people that we are a profession of arms and there are reasons why we do what we do. When people come to join the military they need to be made fully aware that they will be required to adhere to military standards of appearance. No one is forced to join and therefore they must decide what's more important. We will accept anyone from any religion and even atheists and agnostics but they must adhere to our standards or not join. I see this issue being turned into a giant mess and the military especially my Army starting to look more like a civilian corporation in uniform than a proud military force.

I like your perspective SFC Grudzinski. It makes me re-evaluate mine.

EVERYONE is already made aware of this:

"....I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice"

Standards are standards! The CSM should be charged formally after the 2nd warning/correction.

Oh my goodness. I'm not exactly the strictest NCO around but it's hard enough distinguishing what's allowed and what isn't. Now they want it even more ambiguous! 
Sigh...well I just hope they apply it fairly to include atheists and Christians.

Sounds good to me I am going to get my Tags to reflect a new religion so I can look like a deployed SF soldier. <<<---- That's a joke just incase someone thinks otherwise.

SSG Williams,

I believe that Pastafarians will be authorized to wear strainers on their heads, according to Power Point Ranger, LOL!

I am ever so glad I have relieved myself from the services.  Not one real combat vet among the Joint Chiefs....... No CIB's, no SEALS, just perfect attendance ribbons on them.  Oh.... and the best attachment of lips to the anterior middle portion of the body of this administration award.
