Getting talked to about my "conservative hairstyle" with the enforcer (not a CP/ACP) saying that I, as "retired military" should "exceed the standard"
Sorry brother, I'm not wearing a flattop or high and tight in my late 40s 15 years after I left active duty. I didn't have one of those when I was active duty.
Meanwhile a FA with very unnatural haircolor walks by.
Mind you my normal haircut would actually pass the letter of the law for Navy grooming standards, although it would probably get sideways looks from Marines.
