Uniform Policy Leaders Training; What are your reactions to it?
SSG Pratlin,
It hit my inbox at 0700 this morning. It is 57 powerpoint slides so I haven't had a chance to fully digest it all yet but my initial impression is that it is clear and concise. I especially like the clarification on sideburns. I knew that what everyone was putting out last week (top of the ear) was NOT in the original change so I was hoping for clarification. This gives it, complete with pictures and diagrams.
Hopefully, this will end the speculation and confusion and allow leaders to train their Soldiers on 'what right looks like' before we begin full enforecement.
I have asked the same question, as I have several enlisted friends
in various stages of working towards their commission. What I was told, is if you are already in the
process of earning your commission, you will be okay as long as you document it. Now Again, that is what I have been told.
Here is what the Army Times said:
■ Applicants contracted for service in any Army component or enrolled in any accession program within 30 days of the release of the new AR 670-1 are grandfathered in to the previously published tattoo policy.
