I can’t believe the Army promulgated this new regulation. Hasn’t anyone been keeping up with the Navy and Marines for the last 70 years? They invented the tattoo-especially big naked women with big naked boobs. And now the Army has moved to put some strictures on the practice. All I can say is it’s about time. I personally have no druthers on the practice but it sure must be painful to get rid of them after they outlive their usefulness and pertinence to social issues… 

Here’s a link to the big “new” regs. They appear identical to what I grappled with in 1972. Same mustache and sideburn regs. as of old. Is this Army “rebranding”?
