Amend military uniform regulations to remove gender-related inequalities in permitted hairstyles.

Created by C.K. on April 01, 2014

Military uniform standards continue to include variations in permitted hairstyles based upon the gender of the member. Recommend removal of these restrictions as generating an excessive administrative effort, having no relation to operational requirements, generating an unnecessary regulatory burden, imposing an unethical double standard, and being technically irrelevant to good order and discipline.
