Nah, I didn't look into it that closely. In all honesty I'm surprised ANYBODY was able to get an exception made for them.

I actually wouldn't have a beef with the Army if they refused the exception. What I had a problem was the Army giving them an exception then once they were on the hook for AD because the Army paid for their schooling, they tried to pull the exception. THAT was shady in my book.

I really don't think there should be the wearing of any religious garb while in uniform, unless you're a chaplain,

Do you REALLY mean that? You want to prevent people from wearing a cross, St Christopher's medal, religious undergarmets, etc...? Why? If they aren't visible or a safety hazard, what do you care?
