I saw this last night during the NFL pregame ceremony. I assume that the hair style is ok, as he was part of a group representing the Navy, or do you need a waiver?

The Navy lifted its ban on dreadlocks for women a few years ago.

A female CPO I know in one of my other groups said the length was an issue and that per regulations it can't extend more than 1.5 inches past the top of the jumper collar and that it needs to be pinned up if exceeding that.
Yup, definitely not in regs based on the length
Any what are they doing about it besides nothing? You'd think that the senior enlisted who was present and who was in charge of this group of folks would have said something to the sailor and asked them to get their sh*t together...

This picture was posted on the Navy subreddit. Someone over there said that the sailor's hair tie broke just before going on the field.

That would be my story as well.
If that is the case, the person should have excused themselves from the event until they were within the standards.
Just my opinion.

What conclusions did anyone jump to? I asked if this was within the current standards, people came back with the answer that dreadlocks were ok, but not this length without being pinned up.
No one has impuned the person depicted, and it is a fair question to ask if anyone at the event thought about pulling them until they could fix the issue.
Have you read this thread? Nothing wrong with updating your knowledge on grooming standards, but give the Sailor a break. Not her fault, and as this was a ceremonial event, the show must go on.

Yes, I read the thread. I asked a question, the answer was that hair is not supposed to be that long. hdr777 said that supposedly the person's hair band broke right before the event. bubblehead asked why no one corrected them at the time.
Don't really see where anyone jumped to conclusions or said anything negative about anyone.
In the big scheme of things, you are right, it not the end of the world.
See, that wasn’t so hard, was it? ?
Fuck! Now he's going to think he's always right....oh wait,....never mind....that train left the station years ago.....
Step aside boys, this is my warfare domain!
