Saw that this morning as well Sir. I thought it had already been posted but I guess not, thanks for sharing.

1SG (Join to see) It may well have been. A very quick search for AR 670-1 didn't turn it up for me, and the "recent discussions" still sorts based on recent comments, so it could very well have been. Considering the emotion around the tattoo issue, I figured it was worth a potential double-post.

Yeah I am sure that many are happy about the revision to the tattoo policy COL Vincent Stoneking, especially given the amount of posts and complaints about the original change back in March.
Given the amount of complaints we saw back then, S1s across the Army should have lines of Soldiers in the days to come submitting Warrant and commissioned Officer packets.
