The Army is planning a major overhaul of its hair and grooming regulations

Much of the changes are ridiculous garbage. Frankly, the military buying into the feelings game disgusts me, and I predict it will only serve to destroy what once was the greatest force on the planet. As far as the female hair styles, nail polish, and jewelry changes are concerned, I fully expect these to be taken advantage of in no time at all.

I posted this last night. I'm not sure about the ponytail thing. It took awhile to get used to seeing it PTs. I've only worn a ponytail when it's winter PTs and have to wear a cap. Otherwise it's a lot easier for me to wear my hair in a bun. I figured out how to get it to stay up during PT and in ACUs.

Someone said it would be helpful for females whose hair grows out but isn't long enough for a bun yet...maybe. That's the really only thing I've seen comments on is the ponytail possibility.

I have no hair and no comments in that regard. It does concern me all the focus on diversity and inclusion we will become a fractured force more focused on how we are different than similar. In regards to hair, policies for females should enable them to 'shoot, communicate, and move on out' while wearing a helmet to protect their head. The battlefield does not change because we want people to be comfortable.
