You’ve got weapons to clean and boots to shine!

I see you admit to neglecting to polish your brass - shame!

Well the Special Transgender Forces Unit (STFU) I’m sure will be pleased.

Ponytail Thursdays will be fun along with tuck-it Tuesdays.

Enemy soldiers overwhelmingly approve!
Handling captives will be lots more fun...

Easier to take them down, or drag them cave man style. What morons. You don’t make yourself more vulnerable to the enemy.

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

Retired Correctional Sergeant. Dress code said your hair shouldn't be touching your uniform collar. That was the rule for male and female. No jewelry of any kind, especially earrings since they were an easy target for convicts to grab. Then there was the personal grooming. No beards because of gas masks, and Scott Air Packs. Before I retired in 2003, New York State relaxed the beard requirement. I never had to worry about that since I am a female.

The Air Force has adopted the same standards now, and honestly, I think it looks cute. No problem.

If women are good enough to serve side-by-side with men in combat arms, then they’re good enough to abide by the same standards.

What’s the problem?

Then go get your hair cut and lose the nails and makeup.

Actually no. The words “Corn Row” and “Mohawk” were banned from further use by the same order allowing ponytails. Both words were deemed offensive.

I don’t know alot about the military and stuff, but I can properly identify the gender of every person in these pictures.

I bet some of you can even identify all the guns

>...“professional” lipstick and nail polish.

I wonder what “profession” they’re talking about.

Why does the woke military even call them “females”??

I think women in the military should be required to shave their heads like the men do.

It was a privilege. And I was more of a “land guy” compared to folks like Procon and Frank Costanza.
