T-Bone & Vagabond: Good words. I'd advise everyone to read and heed (including you TD).

FWIW: My good buddy in the ANG has a brother and dad that are IRS agents (investigate fraud, etc). I spoke with them re: my haircuts. My point was I had hair to the middle of my back in High School and would not have cut it but for the regulations of my employers (USAF, ANG, & now SWA). They grinned, nodded their heads, and said "nice try."
