A Muslim soldier says her command sergeant major forced her to remove her hijab
By: Meghann Myers   

Sgt. Cesilia Valdovinos was at a chapel at Fort Carson, Colorado, for a suicide prevention briefing on March 6 when she says her command sergeant major grabbed her by the arm, took her outside and made her remove her religious head covering in front of others.

The senior noncommissioned officer believed that Valdovinos, 26, who has an approved exemption from her brigade commander to wear a hijab in uniform, was wearing her hair out of regulations underneath it, she told Army Times on Tuesday.

“To me, it was the same thing as if they had asked someone to take their top off,” the soldier, a member of the 704th Brigade Support Battalion, said.

The Sergeant Major should answer to the commander who granted the exception.

@Taxcontrol

No,he should shave both their head,and then kick their asses and boot them out of the army.

Seems like they just don't make SGM's like they used to. I knew a few back in the 60's that Colonels had to step lightly around.

Per Army regulations, her hair cannot be exposed under the hijab.

Another saw her hair was visible and they then had two female soldiers inspect her.

She was found to be out of regulation and is now pitching a hissy fit.

NO hijabs in our armed forces.
NONE!

Once again, "the question":
Who's winning...?
