What are the implications of not being able to wear a Pro-Mask while having a beard?
Should Soldiers with dietary needs based on religion receive more BAS to pay for additional food costs?

If the Army makes exceptions to the uniform policy, then the "uniform" policy will not be uniform. The uniform policy should be call the "Army Dress Code" policy. There are temporary exceptions to the policy and that is as far as it should go, anything else defeats the purpose (and it has as you may have noticed).

CW2 (Join to see) - Warrant; The implication of not being able to wear a "Pro-Mask" (regardless of why) is that you are likely to die if you should have been wearing one and aren't.
No. soldiers should NOT receive different rates of BAS because of their religions.

TSgt Kenneth Ellis - Making a statement from 1992 requires you to annotate that your statement is from 1992.
This discussion is about the current military, and its accommodations. A lot has changed since '92..... I no longer wear diapers, and computers are now handheld.
Yamakas are plain black or the uniform pattern.

This should be simple - we are soldiers here to protect this great nation. We all have our own brand of religion, sexual preference, and other situations.
End of the day it is simple in my mind - we protect, we fight, we kill. An effective fighting unit cannot be worrying more about religious or PC issues.
They have to focus on the task at hand. Everyone is equal and should not get any special preference or money.
I am a Christian - you think it is not difficult for us to grow up turning the other cheek but when it comes to combat, aim, squeeze, fire!
Should we be given something for the rest of our life's for violating and Lord and Savior's commandment.
No, stay out of the pan if you cannot handle the fire!

Opinions will vary from person to person. This is only the beginning to so many more changes that will come within time with these specific things.
Do I agree with this? No. But I can't speak for anyone else. The military does try to adapt with society, should it? I don't think so, to an extent. The military isn't here to ensure that everyone gets what they want, because everyone won't. There will always be the people that get upset because they don't get what they want. In my opinion, people need to adapt. Something we all learn. Let people have their holidays, let them have veggie MRE's but there is no need to completely change certain regs because people don't want to adapt.
We are soldiers, we are to adapt to any conditions. If they wanted to have all these changes maybe they should have re thought their choices on joining.
Again. This is only an opinion.
