I agree with this one. The uniformed services have sliped in a lot of areas. Tatoos are now a big issue with the Army, and have been for about the last 5 years, so it seems very practical to go after the other stuff.
I think the makeup policy is too lax with the Army. When I was on AD women couldn't wear much cosmetic stuff. When I worked in the PX a while back the women in uniform were wearing funky glasses, painted nails (hot pink clashes with olive drab), and stuff I felt did not go along with AR 670-1.
When I was in leadership positions I really was a stickler (read as 'hard a##') for uniform apperance. Especially in Germany, where the German population see the foreginers in uniform daily.
My first German girlfriend used to get mad when I was a PFC and would vigerously spit shine my boots, and starch my uniform. She didn't understand that A:it was a regulation B:a source of personal pride. Most NATO members uniforms resemble a used parachute.
Why would a service member (1EA -Female) worry about her cleveage, when she should reflect on her marksmanship and skills test, IRAQ is only one set of printed orders away.
