Could someone tell me the thinking behind haircuts in the US armed forces? Or is that particular style just for the US Marines? Still, it'd be interesting to know the reason, it's quite "distinctive". :)

The "High and Tight" was originally a Marine haircut, but it was adopted by the other branches of the military over time. the only reason I know of the haircut to look the way it does, is to display that that person is in the military (due to the fact it looks so ridiculous, that no one in their right mind would get one voluntarily), additionally, in the Army (who I serve), only enlisted soldiers bear the haircut, as the officers usually just have a standard fade, so it also segregates the two major echelons of the rank system. I also believe, that the fact that every soldier has the same haircut, improves the overall look of a unit in formation. it is MANDATORY to have either the "High and Tight" haircut or a shaven head. I actually have to get a haircut AT LEAST once a week, because if my hair gets too long, it shows a lack of discipline……


well….. I hope this helps!!!!!! (I'm sure any military knowledge Ozone Could get can only benifit his already stellar comic, "Pinky TA")

Deuces!!!

Ah-ha! Thanks for that! :)
I'd heard that was where the term "jar head" for US marines came from, but then I'd also heard that came from the shape of some of the hats…

It does indeed help ^_^
It's always great to know about traditions and cultures like this, things that aren't obvious… Reminds me of when I found out the term "nom De Guerre" came from the French military tradition of soldiers adopting a special "name of war" when they joined up that replaced their old name- many modern French families can trace their family names back to that practise.

My ex-husband taught himself how to do a h&t so he could save the $8 a week. It was quite impressive, you should try it. At worst you mess up and have to shave it all, at best more money for recreation!

Since I hate posting myself on the internet, I will do a more blurry picture where it is hard to see my face. So there. :D






I am the kid on the right in the grey Strongbad shirt. I am also playing my DS. This was taken just a few days ago so it is recent. This was at the Pokemon tournament on 7/21/07 at Gamestop. Just wanted to add that for a few more details.

Yes, fucked up hair AND covers. Another possible explanation is the leatherneck, which made a head look as if it had been screwed on, like an upside down jar.

Oh yeah, and I'm done with SOI and back again y'all.

Just register on PhotoBucket. That's what I did, and it was simple. If you sign up, and still don't get it, send me a PQ telling me where you have trouble.

Hmm… nope. Never even saw the guy until I googled him… I'm WAAAAAY too old to be here, eh? One interesting note, however… he was born Nov.3'71… I was born Dec.3'71. Ain't that sumpthin'? Didn't think so.

I made them… needed something to do to pass the time. if I find a premade mask like my third mask. I make with the trimming and painting of it. or I use it as a base face mold and make a new one out of FoamLaytex


I miss this mask
