Headgear
Grey Beret (Female & Male):
Cadets are required to wear the authorized
gray berets while outdoors or when carrying air/drill rifles or a saber. The gray
beret with a distinctive flash is the only beret authorized to be worn with all Cadet
Class A/B Uniforms (Dress Blues).
Garrison Cap (Female & Male):
Cadet are required to wear the authorized green garrison caps while outdoors or when carrying air/drill rifles or a saber. The garrison cap is worn with all Cadet Class A/B AGU's (Greens).
Before positioning the appropriate cadet officer or cadet enlisted insignia on the garrison cap, you should first know how to wear it.
1. Place it on top of your head with the front vertical crease of the cap centered on your forehead in a straight line with your nose.
2. Tilt the cap slightly to your right, but do not let it touch or rest on the top of your ear.
(Do not crush or shape the garrison cap to form peaks at the top front or top rear of it.)
NOTE: Cadet officers wear grade insignia on the garrison cap while enlisted cadets wear the ROTC insignia. Position either insignia on the left side of the cap one inch from the crease and centered vertically between the top braid and the bottom of the cap.
Grooming
Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. Hair will be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of hair will not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar. Lines or designs will not be cut into the hair or scalp. If dyes, tints, or bleaches are used, colors used must be natural to human hair and not present an extreme appearance. Applied hair colors which are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, and pink, green, orange, bright (fire-engine) red, and fluorescent or neon colors.
Males
Sideburns will be neatly trimmed. The base will not be flared and will be a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening. The face will be clean-shaven, except for permitted mustaches. Males are not authorized to wear braids, cornrows, or 9
dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted, individual parts of hair) while in uniform. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized.
Females
Hairstyles will not interfere with proper wearing of military headgear. Hair holding ornaments (barrettes, pins, clips), if used, must be transparent or similar in color to hair, and will be inconspicuously placed. Beads or similar ornamental items are not authorized. Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative and the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so that no free-hanging hair is visible.
