The uniform will be worn in accordance with the Cadet Command Regulation (CCR) 145-2, from the time the cadet departs their home until they return home after school or another school activity requires that they change out of their uniform. At no time will civilian clothing be worn with the military uniform. Missed uniform inspections that are a result of an absence will be made up on the first school day the student returns to school; except for Friday, which is physical training day. Uniform inspections will not carry over from one week to the next. If a student returns to school and doesn’t wear their uniform it will be counted as a zero for that week. If the student has been assigned to S.A.V.E. (Alternative School), the uniform will be worn on the scheduled uniform day. Students are responsible for all issued uniforms and equipment, and can be billed for lost uniforms and equipment. All issued items must be turned back in, unless told otherwise. Students will not be allowed to clear WHS or WCC until all items are turned in. b. Friday’s are typically our physical fitness day (Dependent on School COVID restrictions). On Friday, or any other physical fitness events (Cadet Challenge), Cadets will wear appropriate gym clothes and shoes for class. The JROTC program will provide each Cadet with a physical fitness shirt to be worn during Friday’s physical fitness class. This shirt should only be worn during JROTC Physical Fitness activities. If the shirt is lost or deemed unfit to wear, a new one may be purchased at cost. Cadets need to be properly dressed to participate in physical fitness activities. Failure to actively participate in Physical Training activities will result in a grade of zero for the day. Exceptions are made for medical excuses from a doctor that precludes participation. Failure to wear appropriate clothing (as described above) for participation, will resulted in a grade of zero for the day. c. Cadet grooming and appearance standards are in accordance with Chapter 11, Cadet Regulation (CCR) 145-2, Organization, Administration, Operations, Training and Support, 1 February 2012.

Headgear is part of the uniform. Cadets are required to wear the gray berets while outdoors or when carrying air/drill rifles or a saber. The gray beret, with a distinctive flash, is the only authorized headgear to be worn with the dress uniform. The only exceptions are distinctive headgear used for Color Guard, or for Raiders, only if approved by the SAI. c. Cadets are approved to wear the following religious headgear with the JROTC uniform: turban, hijab and yarmulke. Headgear will be conservative and subdued in color (black, brown, green, dark or navy blue or a combination of these colors). The headgear cannot bear any writing, symbols or pictures. Cadets may wear approved religious headgear in place of military headgear (e.g., turban and hijab). Standard JROTC headgear will be worn when it can completely cover the religious headgear (e.g., yarmulke). Approved headgear are authorized for wear during all JROTC activities (i.e., drill team, color guard, parades, speaking engagements, etc.) that do not pose a risk to the safety of the Cadet, Cadre or others. For example, a Cadet wearing religious headgear can be exempted from certain ―Special Hazard‖ Training events that may result in injury to the Cadet or support personnel such as obstacle courses / rappelling etc. d. To ensure consistency across the JROTC program, exceptions to Cadet uniform policies will be forwarded to and approved by the Commander, USACC on a case-by-case basis. To ensure appropriate compliance with current laws and regulations, the Commander, USACC will forward recommendations for disapproval to the Army G-1 within 30 days of the initial request for final adjudication. 3-2. Hair and fingernail standards and grooming policiesThe JROTC is a uniformed organization which is judged, in part, by how a Cadet wears a prescribed uniform and maintains their personal appearance. Therefore, a neat and well-groomed appearance by all Cadets is fundamental to JROTC and contributes to building the pride and esprit essential to an effective Corps of Cadets. Hair.(1) General. The requirement for hair grooming standards is necessary to maintain uniformity within a military population. Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. It is the responsibility of instructors to exercise good judgment when enforcing Army policy. All Cadets will comply with hair, fingernail, and grooming policies while in any military uniform, or in civilian clothes on duty.(a) Instructors will judge the appropriateness of a particular hairstyle by the guidance in this chapter and by the ability to wear all types of headgear (such as beret, patrol cap, or other service cap/hat) and any protective equipment (such as helmet) properly. Hairstyles (including bulk and length of hair) that do not allow Cadets to wear any headgear properly, or that interfere with the proper wear of any protective equipment, are prohibited. Headgear will fit snugly and comfortably, without bulging or distortion from the intended shape of the headgear and without excessive gaps. Hairstyles that pose a health or safety hazard are not authorized.(b) Extreme, eccentric, or faddish haircuts or hairstyles are not authorized. If Cadets use dyes, tints, or bleaches, they must choose a natural hair color. Colors that detract from a professional military appearance are prohibited. Therefore, Cadets must avoid using colors that result in an extreme appearance. Applied hair colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright (fire-engine) red, and fluorescent or neon colors. It is the responsibility of instructors to use good judgment in determining if applied colors are acceptable, based upon the overall effect on a Cadet’s appearance.(c) Cadets who have a texture of hair that does not part naturally may cut a part into the hair or style the hair with one part. The part will be one straight line, not slanted or curved, and will fall in the area where the Cadet would normally part the hair. Cadets will not shape or cut designs into their hair or scalp.(2) Male haircuts. The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive and must present a neat and conservative appearance. The hair must present a tapered appearance. A tapered appearance is one where the outline of the Cadet’s hair conforms to the shape of the head (see scalp line in figure 3–1 AR 670-1), curving inward to the natural termination point at the base of the neck. When the hair is combed, it will not fall over the ears or eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block-cut fullness in the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained. Males are not authorized to wear braids, cornrows, twists, dreadlocks, or locks while in uniform. Haircuts with a single, untapered patch of hair on the top of the head (not consistent with natural hair loss) are considered eccentric and are not authorized. Examples include, but are not limited to, when the head is shaved around a strip of hair down the center of the head (Mohawk), around a u-shaped hair area (horseshoe), or around a patch of hair on the front top of the head (tear drop). Hair that is completely shaved or trimmed closely to the scalp is authorized. (See figs 3–1 and 3–2. AR 670-1)(a) Sideburns. Sideburns are hair grown in front of the ear and below the point where the top portion of the ear attaches to the head. Sideburns will not extend below the bottom of the opening of the ear (see line A of fig 3–1). Sideburns will not be styled to taper, flair, or come to a point. The length of the individual hairs of the sideburn will not exceed 1/8 inch when fully extended.(b) Facial hair. Males will keep their face clean-shaven when in uniform, or in civilian clothes on duty. Mustaches are permitted. If worn, males will keep mustaches neatly trimmed, tapered, and tidy. Mustaches will not present a chopped off or bushy appearance, and no portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line, extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of the mouth (see lines C and D of fig 3–1), or extend above a parallel line at the lowest portion of the nose (see line B of fig 3–1). Handlebar mustaches, goatees, and beards are not authorized. Medical exceptions will be approved only by the SAI, upon the receipt of proper medical documentation.(3) Female haircuts and hairstyles. The illustrations provided in figure 3–3 (AR 670-1) are intended only to clarify language regarding authorized hair lengths and bulks. The requirements for hair regulations are to maintain uniformity within a military population for female Cadets while in uniform, or in civilian clothes on duty, unless otherwise specified. Female hairstyles may not be eccentric or faddish and will present a conservative, professional appearance. For the purpose of these regulations, female hairstyles are organized into three basic categories: short length, medium length, and long length hair.(a) Short length. Short hair is defined as hair length that extends no more than 1 inch from the scalp (excluding bangs). Hair may be no shorter than 1/4 inch from the scalp (unless due to medical condition or injury), but may be evenly tapered to the scalp within 2 inches of the hair line edges. Bangs, if worn, may not fall below the eyebrows, may not interfere with the wear of all headgear, must lie neatly against the head, and not be visible underneath the front of the headgear. The width of the bangs may extend to the hairline at the temple.(b) Medium length. Medium hair is defined as hair length that does not extend beyond the lower edge of the collar (in all uniforms), and extends more than 1 inch from the scalp. Medium hair may fall naturally in uniform, and is not required to be secured. When worn loose, graduated hair styles are acceptable, but the length, as measured from the end of the total hair length to the base of the collar, may not exceed 1 inch difference in length, from the front to the back. Layered hairstyles are also authorized, so long as each hair’s length, as measured from the scalp to the hair’s end, is generally the same length giving a tapered appearance. The regulations for the wear of bangs detailed in paragraph 3–2a (a) (AR 670-1), apply. No portion of the bulk of the hair, as measured from the scalp, will exceed 2 inches.(c) Long length. Long hair is defined as hair length that extends beyond the lower edge of the collar. Long hair will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned above the lower edge of the collar (except when worn in accordance with para 3–2a (j)) (AR 670-1), except that bangs may be worn. The regulations for the wear of bangs detailed in paragraph 3–2a (3) (a) (AR 670-1) apply. No portion of the bulk of the hair, as measured from the scalp as styled, will exceed 2 inches (except a bun, which is worn on the back of the head and may extend a maximum of 3 1/2 inches from the scalp and be nowider than the width of the head).(d) Additional hairstyle guidelines. Faddish and exaggerated styles, to include shaved portions of the scalp other than the neckline, designs cut in the hair, unsecured ponytails (except during physical training), and unbalanced or lopsided hairstyles are prohibited. Hair will be styled so as not to interfere with the proper wear of all uniform headgear. All headgear will fit snugly and comfortably around the largest part of the head without bulging or distortion from the intended shape of the headgear and without excessive gaps. When headgear is worn, hair should not protrude at distinct angles from under the edges. Hairstyles that do not allow the headgear to be worn in this manner are prohibited. Examples of hairstyles considered to be faddish or exaggerated and thus not authorized for wear while inuniform or in civilian clothes on duty include, but are not limited to hair sculpting (eccentric texture or directional flow of any hairstyle to include spiking); buns with loose hair extending at the end; hair styles with severe angles or designs; and loose unsecured hair (not to include bangs) when medium and long hair are worn up.(e) Devices. Hair holding devices are authorized only for the purpose of securing the hair. Cadets will not place hair holding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair holding devices must be plain and of a color as close to the Cadet’s hair as is possible or clear. Authorized devices include, but are not limited to, small plain scrunchies (elastic hair bands covered with material), barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair/head bands. Such devices should conform to the natural shape of the head. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive, or decorative are prohibited. Some examples of prohibited devices include, but are not limited to: large, lacy scrunchies; beads, bows, or claw or alligator clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from hairpieces. Foreign material (for example, beads and decorative items) will not be used in the hair. (f) Braids, cornrows, and twists. Medium and long hair may be styled with braids, cornrows, or twists (see glossary for definitions AR 670-1). Each braid, cornrow, or twist will be of uniform dimension, have a diameter no greater than 1/2 inch, and present a neat, professional, and well-groomed appearance. Each must have the same approximate size of spacing between the braids, cornrows, or twists. Each hairstyle may be worn against the scalp or loose (free-hanging). When worn loose, such hairstyles must be worn per medium hair length guidelines or secured to the head in the same manner as described for medium or long length hair styles. Ends must be secured inconspicuously. When multiple loose braids or twists are worn, they must encompass the whole head. When braids, twists, or cornrows are not worn loosely and instead worn close to the scalp, they may stop at one consistent location of the head and must follow the natural direction of the hair when worn back, which is either in general straight lines following the shape of the head or flowing with the natural direction of the hair when worn back with one primary part in the hair (see para 3–2a (1) (c)) (AR 670-1). Hairstyles may not be styled with designs, sharply curved lines, or zigzag lines. Only one distinctive style (braided, rolled, or twisted) may be worn at one time. Braids, cornrows, or twists that distinctly protrude (up or out) from the head are not authorized.(g) Dreadlocks or locks. Any style of dreadlock or lock (against the scalp or free-hanging) is not authorized (see glossary for definition).(h) Hair extensions. Hair extensions are authorized. Extensions must have the same general appearance as the individual’s natural hair and otherwise conform to this regulation.(i) Wigs. Wigs, if worn in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty, must look natural and conform to this regulation. Wigs are not authorized to cover up unauthorized hairstyles.b. Cosmetics.(1) Standards regarding cosmetics are necessary to maintain uniformity and to avoid an extreme or unprofessional appearance.
