Wh-aaat? Good grief. Give them all a free copy of GI Jane and call it a day. What nonsense.

Granted that I got out in '90, but from '81-'90 it was the same standard for all men.

Don't know about now. Only about the flack it caused in 68/69. That was the period of Afro's and Adm. Zumwalt (?)

Is that still the case? I always assumed there is a length requirement for all men and that’s it.

I watched this start in the Navy in 68/69 with black men. They were allowed different hair cuts than white men 'to recognize their cultural differences.'

Crap then, crap now.
