Wear and Appearance of Military Uniform
The wear and appearance of soldiers in the United States Army are while in uniform should be neat. There should be no excess “things” in a person’s pocket but it should lie down flat. The person wearing the uniform should look neat and concise not drawing attention to themselves. Soldiers should look like a unit or group with everyone blending in not standing out because they look different. In the army it’s important to be part of a team and like teams that play basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, baseball, wrestling, and even chess teams. It’s important to wear the same thing. It shows unity and togetherness. This is important in the armed forces especially because of what they do. In the army, marines, navy, and air force soldiers are called upon to fight in the battle field. If soldiers cannot show unity by doing a simple basic thing of wearing the same uniform alike how anyone could expect them to fight and win a nation’s battle. This is why the army has proved a guideline of regulations for soldiers in the United States Army to wear and abide by. This regulation is army regulation six hundred dash one which covers the dress and appearance of army uniforms in any given situation. As a female in the United States Army have recently become acquainted with Army Regulation six hundred dash one by the urgings of my sergeants. In this army regulation I found out about the grooming practices allowed for females in the United States Army and what is out of regulation or what is commonly thought to be out of regulation. I hope that this will square me away as a private in the Army of the United States of America. Females and males cannot have faddishly shaved scalps with designs on them. It is not allowed for a female to have excess bulk in her hair even if this is her natural fullness. She would have to have some of the bulk removed so she would not look unkempt or unprofessional. The Army is all about have high standards and adhering to those standards.
