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.

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?

I said garb - as in garments is what I meant. I said in another post if you want to wear a cross or other medallion on a chain or have it in your pocket then fine. In fact I said this in my first post:
It is just JRTOC though which means really nothing. Again I don't think anyone should be wearing religious clothing while in uniform. Wear a religious token on a chain with your dog tags, have something in your pocket, etc fine. It just starts causing all these exception rules. Just my opinion.

Maybe read before you start jumping all over people. And yes I really do mean what I said as in if you can't see it in uniform, have at it.
