Looking for a female perspective on OCS

Going to OCS in March

I used to the have the “in between” length of hair. I personally chose to grow it longer to get it up in a bun for OCS.

Those that came to Newport with the “in between” length, had to chop their hair shorter with eyebrow scissors to get in regs……you don’t have easy access to a real barber/haircutter shop as a female, so I saw this happen twice.

Pick a lane, either short or grow it out unless you want to butcher your own haircut.
 
Mine was "in between", tried a pretty terrible bun until I really gave up and went to the barber. You can still go to the barber as a woman. Do not cut your own hair. I asked for something between a "pixie" and a "mullet" and it actually worked out well for regs. The 5 min showers aren't worth it for having long hair. Chopping my hair was worth it, was able to get back to ponytail length in API.

Mileage on ease of ability to see a barber in the first couple of weeks may vary…..

I went at the tail end of COVID when things were extra restrictive and the CO was “allegedly” relieved early for a host of COVID related issues…. All the restriction lifted with the new leadership

From what I’ve heard of recent accounts, this should be easier. So go to the barber….. if you can’t, you’ll find some scissors somewhere…….
