YES.  The UCMJ has nothing in it regarding uniform or hair styles.  Dress codes are found in US Marine Corps uniform regulations.  Females may corn row their hair and wear it in a bun as long as it does not interfere with the normal wearing of their cover (hat). quote:"Faddish and exaggerated styles to include shaved portions of the scalp other than the neckline, designs cut in the hair, unsecured ponytails and styles which are distinctly unbalanced or lopsided are prohibited. Multiple braiding is authorized. If hair extensions are used in the braiding of the hair, the extensions must have the same general appearance as the individual's natural hair. Braided hairstyles will be conservative, and conform to other guidelines listed herein."   If you notice, distinction is not made between the races either.

We had two airmen who left during basic from my flight for being gay.  Typically, the Air Force has so little invested in you at that stage of your career that it makes no sense for them to do anything other than give you an administrative discharge and send you on your way.  You could also simply fail the physical requirements, or a number of other tests they give you.  "Failure to adapt to military life" is a valid reason for discharge as well.

You don't have to get your hair cut off if you are a girl sent to military school. You might want it shorter just for comfort and ease, however. But you don't have to go all Demi Moore or anything.

Native Americans are naturally near hairless people. My mother is Cherokee and she brags to me that she never had to shave anything her entire life. So it's partially true, yet I doubt that every single NA woman is hairless.

My experience is that it's a game when enlisted men deploy.  We play the game to see who can grow the nastiest/funkiest moustache while we are deployed.  Once we get back, the 'stache is gone.

I have worked for the air force for 16 years.  I have seen Female officers and enlisted.  I don't think you have anything to worry about and it can be a great career or experience.

I'm only a spouse of someone in the Air Force but I say definitely yes.  Free healthcare with NO copays and free meds.  Free eyecare with free glasses.  No sales tax if shopping on base.  Travel to all kinds of places.  New friends.  No worries over what to wear to work.  Good way to develop leadership skills.  Free college.

I don't shave there either.   There runs a risk of getting a yeast infection if it is done too often.  There is a reason for the hair to be there.  The same way there is hair in your nose, to keep unwanted free floating particles from getting in.

Current UK Government policy is that women may not have roles that involve direct combat, they may join the regiments but only in a supporting role.\n\nThe guard at the palace is not just ceremonial, the weapons and ammunition are real and the soldiers are issued rules of engagement about when they can open fire.\n\nSo, the answer is no, they can't join the guard.\n\nPersonally, I'm not in favour of women fighting in the armed forces.  However, if they can do the training and be as effective as the men, then I can see no legitimate reason to stand in their way.

US Air Force Basic Training is perhaps the easiest of all of the services. Just keep your nose clean, do what is asked and you will do fine. Physical Training is part of it, but you will have help along the way. They don't expect you to run two miles in 15 minutes, but they do have a standard to go by and to pass you must pass you physical fitness test. Just tell yourself you can do it and you will.\n Basic is a mind game, in that they are trying to get you out of thinking like a civilian and more like a soldier. It is not brainwashing! Basically just changing your thought process to follow orders and work under pressure.\n You will have harassment, but everybody does. If you feel you are being singled out, you can report it. Also the males are educated against harassment, but some of the few think of themselves as a ladies man.\n  If you do join and are lucky enough to pick you job, try for something in computers or maintenance. If you do it long enough in the service, you have the chance to become certified in the real world and can get a great paying job in the future. Just remember, keep your nose clean and an open mind and you will do great. Good Luck!

as a woman i don't understand it either.  i told the recruiter to f*** off when i tried to sign up for the air force because he wouldn't allow me to do "mens jobs".  women should have to register just like the men do.  we wanted to be able to join the military and we can, we wanted to do mens jobs and now (years after i tried) we can, so why shouldn't we have to register?

never really, they don't really have to grow a beard, how it basically goes is like this- According to Jewish law, Jews aren't allowed to shave with a razor (a single blade), but scissor action(like in most electric shavers)is allowed. Before electric shavers were invented, Jewish men let their beards grow, and now some traditional Hasidim still follow that. Also their are 2 time periods a year when they aren't allowed to shave(except for business reasons), one of about 5 weeks,and one of 3 weeks.

That statement is not completely true. Women do participate in combat in this age. The threat is a 360 degree threat, there are no longer front lines. Women have been in numerous fire-fights, and have been attacked in convoys\n\nWomen are not allowed to be stationed in combat units Battalion and lower. That means infantry, tankers, field artillery, and combat engineers. People have various arguements for this, such as women be physically weaker, having a menstrual cycle, wanting to prevent rape if captured, and a distraction to the males in the unit.\n \nWho know if it will ever happen, but if it does I can tell you from experience it would completely change our military, and I'm not sure if it will be for better or worse.

No.  If you have an excessive amount, you may want to trim it a bit to suit your preferences, but you don't want to shave it all (unless you WANT to look like a little girl instead of a woman.)
