The Command should be current. Career Planner and Chain of Command can get straight scoop if this is not it. Always best if in doubt, to go to the Order because scuttlebutt is often bum scoop.

Seen lots of people getting in trouble over tattoo policy changes, just because it was never documented when it was allowed.Response by Cpl Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 2 at 2017 7:58 PM2017-08-02T19:58:19-04:002017-08-02T19:58:19-04:00SPC Tommy Faircloth2839174<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You're supposed to update your tattoo record when you get a new tattoo. They have you fill those out for a good reason.Response by SPC Tommy Faircloth made Aug 16 at 2017 5:49 PM2017-08-16T17:49:11-04:002017-08-16T17:49:11-04:00SFC Seth Watson2840200<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After OIF 1 a ton of guys went out and got tattoos the policy at that time was you needed to inform your Commander of the tattoo, placement and he counseled you on it. My CO was cool and even though I never got the tattoo he made sure I did my paperwork for it.Response by SFC Seth Watson made Aug 17 at 2017 12:49 AM2017-08-17T00:49:03-04:002017-08-17T00:49:03-04:002017-08-02T16:26:17-04:00
