Ahh, grooming standards. The term warms the hearts of NCOs everywhere regardless of Service Branch. Easily understood and enforced, although AWANEd thought MAA’s handing out speeding tickets for haircut violations at the barber shop entrance pretty chickenshit. And it was.

Stephen Losey<\/strong><\/p>\n Female airmen will soon be allowed to wear their hair in one or two braids, or a single ponytail, Air Force officials announced Thursday.<\/p>\n Women will also be allowed to wear longer bangs that touch their eyebrows, the Air Force said in a news release, but the bangs will not be able to cover their eyes.<\/p>\n The revised dress and appearance standards will take effect with the next update to Air Force Instruction 36-2903, which is slated to be published in February, the Air Force said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis decision is a commitment to supporting the airmen we need, and sustaining the culture and environment of excellence that will continue to make the Air Force an attractive career choice for airmen and families,\u201d Chief of Staff Gen. Charles \u201cCQ\u201d Brown said in the release. \u201cI\u2019m thankful for the feedback and research conducted from a number of women leaders, the Women\u2019s Initiative Team, the Air Force uniform board and our joint teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n The Air Force decided against further relaxing standards that bar most men from wearing beards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At least the guys can console themselves with a new tat at the BX. Right, Mason?*grin*
