Will this spread throughout the Department of Defense?
In response to feedback from the fleet and senior enlisted leadership, the Navy announced two changes to its uniform policy, March 31, in NAVADMIN 082/16.
First, the Navy is updating its tattoo policy and will authorize Sailors to:
* Have one tattoo on their neck that does not exceed one inch in any direction.
* Have visible tattoos below the elbow or knee -- no longer restricting their size or amount.
* Allow Sailors with sleeve tattoos to be assigned to Recruit Training Command and Recruiting Command positions -- previously not allowed.

Finally! Although, special duties such as instructor duty will still screen you for visible tattoos.

I beleive they shouldn't allow the neck tattoos my 10 cents. All because it won't help getting a job. I am hoping it spreads to the Marine Corp. i know plenty of people who have 1/2,1/4,and full sleeves it doesn't make them less of a Marine the Branches need to stop with this dog a pony s$&! And worry about being an effective fighting force.
