The Pentagon on Monday unveiled new grooming standards, which now require service members “to be clean shaven and neat in presentation for a proper military appearance.”

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement Monday that following “a rapid force-wide review of military standards” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “recently directed the Services to implement the following grooming standards for facial hair.”

“The grooming standard set by the U.S. military is to be clean shaven and neat in presentation for a proper military appearance,” Hegseth said in a quote in Parnell’s statement.

Earlier this month, President Trump signed an order to change the name of the Department of Defense into the “Department of War,” framing the change-up as a sign of American strength. He also suggested that prior lengthy wars under the old moniker were caused by political correctness.

The president signed an executive order that allowed the department’s name change and for Hegseth’s title to change to secretary of War. A permanent name change will require an act of Congress.

“Commanders must apply consistent criteria and appropriately consider the Department’s interests in safety and uniformity when authorizing individual exceptions,” Parnell said in his Monday statement

“Military medical officers will provide a written recommendation concerning a shaving waiver to the commander who is the final approval authority. Service members with an approved shaving waiver will participate in a medical treatment plan,” he added.

Should make it so that you cant wear any hats either. Or any headwear at all.

That will make sure the place is safe and less likely to have leaks.

I wear a hat at work. They let me, I do it. I have nice hair too. I wear the hat to keep it at bay. I need a haircut

20+ years ago a bunch of guys were drinking at a bar near the airport metal detectors heading to a Vegas trip. We were fascinated by how many young women were setting off the detectors.  It was pretty cool once we realized what was happening.

 Nice. I used to go to the New Orleans airport around seven in my mid twenties and hang out at the bar/restaurant and pretend my flight was delayed till the next day due to bad weather. The weather wasn’t bad. My friend worked bartender and got my drinks, and the wemens on for nothing, but I I tipped him well. It was to easy in the Big Easy. Horny wemens ready to party. One girl said she was humiliated as she was stripped searched and she had a to much to drink. Debbie Does New Orleans: I just want have fun now.  Me: My flight was delayed till tomorrow morning. I’ll bring to my favorite watering holes.

 Worked every fawking time. Got a couple threesomes. It was easier than shooting Sux in a barrel. Wemens say the nastiest thing, especially nurses, teachers, and cops. I felt like pac man.

Why? I've never understood this. My employer had similar regulations before I started. Limited facial hair not to exceed a certain length, no visible tats, no visible piercings other than ears, among others. Doing away with that was good for hiring/recruiting.

Because it doesn’t look squared away. Neither does long hair or dread Locks.

They would lose like 1/2 of their staff.
