Military Changing Body Armor To Accommodate Women’s Hair Styles

As women enter ground combat fields in larger numbers, the military services are working harder to make gender-specific accommodations for their gear — even down to tweaking protective equipment to fit around longer hair.
According to presentations prepared by the Army and the Marine Corps for the Pentagon’s Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, both services are making independent changes to ensure gear fits correctly for women with hair buns.
I don’t know about you, but as we make sure we’re prepared for war against near-peer actors, it makes me feel safer to know that women can have hair buns along with their body armor.

Ah! DoD Office of Coutuer … got to be a few new career paths there – at least to four Star general … but hasn’t Trump just gotten rid of all the Gay hairstylists?
