No that's not entirely true - one of them made it all the way through basic training with his beard, hair and turban.

Maybe you should go back and actually READ the article (or one of the many others -OR the entire thread dedicated to the subject)... First off, Medical Officers don't even go to basic training. Second, EVERY word I typed was true. The article was dated the 25th of March and the first one started the Basic Officer Leadership Course on the 19th of March. They started school under the Army program more than four years ago and the decision to actually honor the committment the Army made more than four years ago was communicated 1 Dec. Like I said, the Army promised one thing then once they were on the hook, tried to F--k them.

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.

Noted but according to your original post, you would still ban religious undergarmets which you now say you wouldn't...
