High and Tight

This class has a lot of emphasis on hair so I found this to be very interesting and pertaining

to our class. In the United States Military, there is a set standard for what is seen as an 

acceptable length for your hair. Men have to keep their hair relatively short in popular buzzed

 and the high and tight haircuts. If the length of a man's hair becomes longer than 2 inches for

whatever reason, they are considered to be "out of regs" (out of regulation) and can be severely punished.The same goes for woman in the military, though it is much less strict when it comes to the length of the woman's hair. A man/woman cannot color their hair other than natural born colors

such as black, brown, blonde, and red (only for natural born redheads). It is very intriguing to

me how much importance is put on the length and color of hair in the military. I mean, is it really THAT important? I believe that the issue is more of a historical thing. Since that was the standard

from the beginning of the military, it is just a tradition that continues to this very day. The man pictured above is sporting a high and tight haircut which is basically a buzz on all side of the head and very short hair on top.
