Yes and no. For the first couple of weeks, your shower will be very short about two minutes. You will learn to wash quickly, and not waste time. Recruits also have access to vegetarian boxed meals and field rations. Male recruits consume approximately 3, calories, and females consume approximately 2, calories each day, said Bouknight.

Their hairstyles are always expected to be just as well-kept and disciplined as their male counterparts. They still get a visit to the basic training Supercuts — the result is just not as drastic. The Bataan There are actually worse cuts out there, you know. An induction cut is the shortest possible hairstyle without shaving the head with a razor. Almost immediately after arrival, your hair will be cut so short that it almost feels like you wereshaved bald guys, only.
After the initial haircut, you'll get a trim at least once per week during basic training. However, during the weekly trim, depending on which branch you're in, your hair may not be entirely cut off again, and the sides and the back may just be evened up. Tip: You can actually estimate how long someone has been in basic training, depending on which branch you're in, by the length of their hair.
Brand new male recruits have virtually no hair at all, those who have been there a week or two have a little bit of stubble, and those who are getting ready to graduate have an inch or so of hair showing. Except for the Navy, women do not have to get their hair cut. However, when in uniform which is all the time in basic training , women must wear their hair in such a way that the hair does not protrude past the bottom of the collar, and is not below the eyebrows.
If your bangs are grown out, they must be long enough to be tied into a bun. Sgt William Hodges 11 mo. All this talk about haircuts reminds me of the story about one lad that went AWOL, When they caught him they asked him why he took off after only being in the military a few weeks He replied, first they marched us to the BX and insisted we by combs, next they took us to the barbershop and cuto off all our hair.
The next week we when to the BX again and they made us buy Tooth paste and brushes, but followed up with a trip to eht dentist where he pulled out my teeth. When in the third week they took su to the BX again and had us buy Jock Straps I knew it was time to leave. Hope it brings back some memories.
MSG Bob S 10 mo. Deal, but give us SF back too. SSG Join to see. People need to get overthemselves Yes traditionally going back to Roman times read about it and understand why Soldiers cut their hair all or very closely off.
It is not a matter of what is detrmined to be considered hazing. Guess what if you dont want to cut all your hair off then dont join the military I am sick and tired of all the dang whining on standards. If you dont like it get the heck out I have s daily waiting to fill the ranks willing to do what is required to meet standards..
WOuld that be acceptable discirmination suit in a civil court. How about wearing uniforms at civilian jobs is it hazing if I dont feel comfortable wearing it because the job requires it If he thinks that is hazing, he shouldn't volunteer.
I don't want the little whiner in my Army anyway. I agree with you on People needing to get over themselves and stop the whining about known standards, I served 21 years and virtually NEVER liked the PT standards, I thought much of what was done was counter productive, but that was just my unstated opinion and my stated view as an NCO to the Soldiers under me was "its required we meet the Army Standards Do your personal best in your efforts and Lets move forward" The Hair cut issue can be given dozens of very valid reasons why, And it starts with uniformity as its cornerstone, The fewer differences between privates the less potential for the exact kinds of questions that always come up Just like stating We are all the same color here, "Green" It tells you that white black and brown are all covered by the same rules going forward You Make Army Green Decisions if you want to continue to wear those stripes I learned a Ton from that 1sg and virtually all has transferred to my civilian life.
You can let your hair grow back after basic training, as long as you continue to wear it in such a way that you meet the standards while in uniform. In basic training, you take group showers. There's no way out of communal showers. They're required. Everyone in your barracks will enter the shower room assigned to your barracks when commanded. The shower area is one large tiled room with multiple shower heads along the walls.
Your instructor will give you a time limit for your shower and tell you when you may take your shower during the day or night. Warning: In Marine Corps boot camp, the first couple of weeks will be spent doing things "by the numbers.
When everyone is packed into their showering area, a drill instructor will give you an allotted time by counting down from a certain number to clean individual parts of your body and then rinse. Being able to take a full shower without a DI giving commands is also a rite of passage. Over the years, I've received more e-mail concerns about this aspect of military basic training than any other factor.
It seems recruits are scared or self-conscious to be naked in front of other recruits during shower time. When I went to basic training, group showers weren't a big deal because daily group showers were required after high school physical education. Tip: Don't waste energy worrying about this aspect of basic training.
I can guarantee that when it happens, you'll be so nervous or scared of your drill instructor that you won't worry about the shower. When my twin daughters attended Air Force basic training a few years ago, they were so nervous about this aspect of training that they almost decided to change their mind and not ship out.
I almost had to drag them to MEPS when the final day came. They were scared silly about having to shower in front of other people. During their basic training graduation, I asked them how they got through having to take group showers. They looked at me like I was crazy. They didn't even remember being nervous about it!
