I checked out some photos of the 506th Airborne when it was at Tocca. Of the photos showing troops without their hats, none of them had the 'high & tight' crew cuts that are current with airborne troops today. They didn't have long or even longish hair but it looks like a regular civilian cut of the era and what I wore during most of my military career, i.e. not a G.I. type crew cut.

The hair just looked much too long on some of the actors...I know that they are shaved today, but even then, I am sure that the guys in training had to have hair short enough to not have to worry about combing. It just did not seem realistic to me.
