Current grooming standards for the DOD, specifically in regards for males seem to be stuck in the 70's and 80's. Specifically we are talking about the more open and free standards of the late 70's too an abrupt swing in the mid 80's to a more stringent grooming policy. We believe that the NAVADMIN put out in 2016 that was specific to tattoo's was the start of something that has gone nowhere. The DOD policy should reflect the current trends of the generation that is the next to sign up to support our nation. A policy that allows for some religious leniency yet dictates to everyone else a different standard could instead allow for all to keep a neat an orderly appearance without having to make it a religious matter. Facial hair, hair length, hair style should all be allowed.
