I had a weekend worth of stubble that I shaved off and left a goatee today just because I can, but still WFH anyway so who cares. Sure there will be lots of that, ,and simple things like bright nail colours etc.SM yesterday was rife with women talking about the colour of their nails for today. Followed by a few talking about their hair colour. There will also be a pile of guys with goatee's today.
Really much ado about nothing, but there are still people that lose their minds if you wear a beret as a Naval officer with a short sleeve (IAW the dress manual),
You'll never convince me that officer beret with ss shirt is a good look.
I actually really like the new hat, fits nice and no it is nowhere close to the size of the Soviets. I saw those close up back at the end of Cold War.I don't really see any functional difference between an officer or NCM wearing a beret with DEUs, but with the new hat being cooler (but ugly and Soviet looking) probably just makes more sense to stick with that one in the summer anyway. It is an order of dress though, so the beret is a lot easier to travel with, even if it is a pain in the butt.
Are the drawings too hard to understand?Is anyone else a bit disappointed that the only changes to the dress manual were in Chapter 2, Section 2 - Appearance? This would have an ideal time for DHH to give the whole manual a more modern look. We could have gotten rid of the pencil drawings and had actual high-quality photographs. Maybe it is just me but I think we can do better than this:

Based on the photos that got signed off by PA for the placement of the moustache pin, the drawings are really for the best, and at least aligned properly.Are the drawings too hard to understand?

I heard a rumour that part of the delay was that the pictures proposed were kicked back to be replaced with drawings. Can’t remember where I heard it though.Is anyone else a bit disappointed that the only changes to the dress manual were in Chapter 2, Section 2 - Appearance?

Ok are there any real wingers reported?
Purple hair etc?
A man of your word, nice.I did. Wasn't the only one. Highest rank I've seen who went in on the coloured hair was a Cdr and an LCol for what it's worth.
Edit: make that 2 LCols and a Cdr now.
