During tactical or physical training, are design cuts into hair allowed?

• A. Yes, as a single straight line
• B. Yes, with any design
• C. No, hair cannot be cut
• D. Yes, but only a single straight line and no designs allowed

Answer: (D)

Grooming standards in tactical or physical training emphasize safety and equipment fit. Haircuts should not interfere with helmets, masks, goggles, or other protective gear, and they shouldn’t create distractions. A single straight line is a minimal, controlled alteration that doesn’t affect how gear sits or how you move, so it’s allowed. But adding any designs introduces points that could snag on equipment or draw unnecessary attention, which is why designs aren’t permitted. So the rule is: hair can be cut, but only as a single straight line with no designs.
