I never had the 'pleasure' of serving with females when I was in, namely because they weren't allowed to serve in combat arms units.

The new regulations were a huge win for women who have said the formerly-required bun got in the way of equipment like helmets, and made it difficult to perform their jobs.

Well, your hair certainly wouldn't be a problem when you're cooking in the kitchen, now would it?

(Just kidding ladies, thanks for your service, now go make me a sammich. šŸ˜)

Didn’t realize the Army differentiated between men and women. If women can wear pony tails, the men should also be allowed.

All the male needs to do is declare himself a woman.

How can one be sure if one is a man or a woman? Who knows one may be minding oneā€™s own business when suddenly the gender fluid fairy strikes.

I was MP. I'm trying to remember how the women wore their hair.

“Or grabbed by some bad dudes.”

I’m a retired prison guard. I kept my hair short for just that reason and our ties were break-away.

Next they’ll need to cover the tails.

On another thought.... Pony tails are infiltrating every women’s areas now, so I guess the ‘other genders’ can do the same. lol Now the enemy will know the ones they really hate.

Good bye, the great crew cut image we loved.

I was lucky, I served in a Chaparral/Vulcan battalion when I was in Germany. While women were being force fed into Nike Hercules batteries, women were not allowed in short range air defense units, as we were normally attached to infantry and armor divisions.

My battalion's primary mission was short range air defense for Hahn, Bitburg, and Spangdahlem air bases. Couldn't have asked for a better assignment. The battery at Hahn was 40 miles from battalion HQ, which was awesome. During alerts, the firing batteries were put under the command of the Air Force Wing Commander...iow, our higher hq couldn't screw with us during those 4-5 days, which I thought was awesome.

IIRC, our battalion was deactivated in the mid-90s.

Extra points if you can find a Seinfeld reference to this thread.

Make’s it easier to grab in hand to hand combat, I would guess. (like a handle).
