During BCT you will not wear a mustache and you will get a hair cut every couple of weeks, usually about every two or three weeks depending on when the company XO( 2nd LT. over paid private) scheduled the haircuts during lock in , that is the training schedule..


I thought over paid private were called SPC's.

2LT are called overpaid privates because they, just like PVT, are brand spankin' new to the Army.

I have shower shoes that have been in the Army longer than most 2LT's.

hope that ain't my language :?

haircut standards in the army are total BS... Even if your hair is in regulation you have NCO's still get on you even if it is to standard. I think the standard just was updated, and says has to have a tapered look and hair cannot touch the ears... but then you have dumb NCO's that say... o well you should exceed the standard... people like that just make me feel good about not ever re-enlisting.

what's wrong with holding yourself above the standard?

I am by no means a poster boy, high and tight soldier. However, I do keep my hair within the regulation. The difference between me and people that get told to get a haircut, is that my "longer" hair looks good. I stay well groomed and keep a neat "military appearance." Man, the ladies love it!

You can have as much hair as you want, cause once you get there it is all on the floor out the door, and pretty much once a week after that the same thing. I really dont remember anyone being able to have a mustache in BCT, and don't think you would be able to keep one.

i dont mind going above the standard. its just that i like my hair and if i am in regulation and still get told i need a haircut it just pisses me off. there is nothing in the regulation saying you have to be above standard to be at standard, im already way above standard on my boots and uniform, and within regs on my hair.. NCO's that are bored have nothing better to do than read regulations and try to mess with people..especially senior NCO's when they get bored all they do is bit#@H about regs.

I give myself the basic cut every month or so. My hair grows back so fast anyway, and most people say I look good with a shaved head. 8)

The only thing is I like sideburns. Gotta trim those things to the midpoint of the ear. ops:

I was wondering about this, since I shave my head.

Guess I'll have to let it grow out for BCT/AIT.

thanks

bald... hairless...

You will be more hairless than that strange neighbor's cat or your uncle Larry's bald head.

You will do push ups for every hair on your face
