Army to allow ponytails, braids for women

Thursday marked the final day of mandated buns for soldiers as the Army announced that it will now permit ponytails for women, regardless of uniform.
The change, formalized in ALARACT 040/21, allows female troops to wear their hair in a single ponytail, a single braid, or two braids fastened together. The length must not extend below the bottom of the shoulder blades when the soldier is standing at the position of attention.
Commanders may direct soldiers to wear their ponytails tucked into their uniform blouses in environments where long hair would present a safety hazard, according to the ALARACT.

Does a woman, who trannies to a man, get to wear a pony tail because she could if she/he were still a woman? :silly:
