...AR 670-1 is the bible of the military. Therefore it comes with the same thoughts and practices as the bible. The bible is written words that never change unless someone rewrites it to what they interpret it to mean. Same thing with church. You go to church on Sundays and listen to a preacher preach about the gospel but in all actuality he is preaching about his interpretation of the bible. Same thing with AR 670-1, especially with hairstyles. Hairstyles covered in AR 670-1 are written guidelines about the grooming standards of males and females in the Army. So are these written guidelines followed precisely or does someone interpret what they think it should be and enforce their opinion. In most all cases it is an enforced opinion. Someone may have the opinion that if you cant see skin on the side of the head then it isn't in regulation when in actuality it is as long as its a tapered appearance. So Where does it end? Why have a set standard if its not going to be a set standard. Is it an Army standard or someones standard? You can literally walk down a hallway and someone will say something about your hair then turn around and someone else will say something totally different about your hair. So there isn't a standard there are thousands of standards. With that being said, the guidelines state that Leaders judge the appropriateness of a particular hairstyle by the appearance of headgear when worn. Soldiers will wear headgear as described in the applicable chapters of AR 670-1...

...uniformity, organization, and overall military knowledge that the Continental Army clearly lacked during the first years into the American Revolution. In 1778 a Prussian Officer, General Von Steuben reported to Valley Forge to turn demoralized and unknowing men into a ready to fight, physically fit Continental Army who would later drive the British out of control over the colonies and let us go on to make the United States of America the land it is today. Even when America fought over itself in the Civil War over slavery where the enemy wasn’t the Taliban, French, German, or British but instead the North and South fighting against one another there was uniformity, military knowledge, and above all discipline still in effect. The Uniform code 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia is the code by which a soldier should look. For example, Tattoos, how insignias can be worn, the army’s view on jewelry and many other examples. I believe this regulation falls under, “I will always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself” in the soldier’s creed. While I was at basic training, the first day my company commander had a saying for us to understand during our time there, “Its hard but it’s too easy” He told us it would take us surviving basic training to understand what it means and it think I know. It’s hard because it’s the biggest risk you can take you are sacrificing you civilian life, relationships, and ties to make the ultimate sacrifice for the people they love. It’s...

...I am writing about what is the importance on being a NCO and AR 670-1. Last week I got caught with a tongue ring in my mouth by a Senior NCO, 1SG D****. As a NCO I showed poor discipline and lack of character. AR 670-1 states that c. Body piercing. When on any Army installation or other places under Army control, soldiers may not attach, affix,or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the skin while they are in uniform, in civilian clothes on duty, or in civilian clothes off duty (this includes earrings for male soldiers). The only exception is for female soldiers, as indicated in paragraph 1–14d, below. (The term “skin” is not confined to external skin, but includes the tongue, lips, inside the mouth, and other surfaces of the body not readily visible). So by this regulation I was at the wrong. I should be a better role model to these solider. If they see me doing this how can a solider respect me or even the NCO core I need realize that I am not a kid anymore and I need to grow up and start acting maturely. If I don’t I can see that I don’t need to be a NCO and become one of the soldiers. The smart thing I did after I got caught with it I took it right out told my platoon SGT. SSG Dao. I remember too that SFC Tremmell told all the NCO if you cant act like one then he will take it from us NCOs’ . I took that to heart and I will never do something like that ever again. Sometime I have to step back and look at myself a as leader and read over with...
