How do they keep their long hair out of those toilets they scrub?

This is a very dangerous idea.Having long hair especially in engeneering spaces.

Only men will be required to do the grunt work. Women get to administrate.

But guys are still limited to a buzzcut?
How about beards? Why can't guys have beards in light of this decision?

But if a woman WANTS to do grunt work (up to and including combat), she certainly can. But only if she wants to.
And if all else fails, the built in "get out of jail free" card, in the form of a pregnancy, can intervene.

Maybe some black muslims can raise that argument.

Dreads are filthy. Unsanitary. Disgusting. They should not only be banned in the military but in food service and medical care.

A few idiots having their scalps ripped off after their hair gets caught in power equipment will have a salutary effect - or maybe they will demand that they not be assigned to any equipment spaces.

This is not my dad’s navy. Nobody in thr chain of command, NOBODY, could offer a simple explanation of why dreadlocks and styles hair below the collar is a bad idea? NOBODY had the simple nads to say “sailor, get out of my office and do not waste anyone’s time with this BULLSHIT.”

A short haircut on military personnel accomplished many subtle objectives. People who look the same, feel the same. A barrier is created between them and us. Us being the military unit, the them is everyone else. And, the muting of psychological uniqueness is part of military discipline.
All out the window now.

Even a ponytail can be a hazard. Better be a short one.

The USN must be pretty desperatein their recruiting. Lowering the standards only results in a less effective Navy.
