The waivers are granted on a case-by-case basis. In the story about the Sikhs, they were adult medical officers who obtained a dispensation from on high with the backing of congressional representative and interest groups.

The cadet in the original post is a student. She can apply for an exception if the JROTC rules provide for it. But until she gets her exception, she has to abide by the rules the rest of the JROTCers live by. After all, the uniform regulations are rules of general applicability; trying to find an actionable civil rights issue there will be a steep uphill battle.
