New shave policy: Why aren't females held to standard off-duty? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/new-shave-policy-why-aren-t-females-held-to-standard-off-duty <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If male Soldiers have to remain clean shaved even when on leave in order to keep a professional look (correct me if I'm wrong) should female Soldiers have to keep their hair and make up as If they are in uniform. If I can't let my hair out then should they be able to let their hair down.

Men suit and ties, women almost any type of nice looking outfits. It would be kind of hard having a bread at night and during the days be clean shaved.

What goes for one, should go for all PO2 Rocky Kleeger Fri, 09 May 2014 11:44:30 -0400 2014-05-09T11:44:30-04:00 Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made May 9 at 2014 11:44 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/new-shave-policy-why-aren-t-females-held-to-standard-off-duty?n=122570&urlhash=122570 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was at an acquisitions course at Fort Belvoir this week. On the second day I woke up and immediately went to shave out of habit.. then realized I was wearing business attire. So, no shaving that day! Ah, small victories.

This is news to me. I personally think that men don't need to shave when off duty and women can let their hair down.
