Esprit de corp is built from the ground up, and that starts with a good shine on your boots! And get a hair cut!
Tattoos??
No facial hair.
Not visible while in uniform.

No turbans and hijabs, no fat people, and end the acceptance of these weak females and their pudgy fat bodies.

No mercy on body composition or required PT standards.
Ensure all work and living spaces are cleaned to standard by daily and weekly inspections.
Hegseth is covered in tattoos.

Lead by example, Pete, get a haircut and lose those ugly sideburns!
He’s no longer IN the military.... he RUNS the military. Right behind POTUS.
I don’t know where you got that nonsense, replacing the men with females has been the most destructive force against the military that the left has ever had.
Cue up a Judge who will tell the military that the “Code of Military Conduct” must be like the like that of the Salvation Army.
Yeah, but his tattoos are not visible unless you shower with him.
All part of the plan to destroy the warrior culture.
Doubtful, at least in the modern era. A casual look at photos of WWI and WWII British soldiers shows mustaches to be rather uncommon.
