I have a DS in NJROTC. I volunteer alot and go to a lot of drill meets. I hear the other parents talk alot about girls hair and making them look perfect for drill competition. From what I’ve heard, girls have to either go real short (which most do not prefer) or fairly long and put it up in a bun. The most difficult length hair for girls to make look appropriate for formal inspection would be the mid length. If I had a DD I would advise her to go long and go the bun route. That way she can look feminine off duty and easier to make it look professional on duty. Fortunately I do not have to worry about hair length because I have a son and for drill meets they have a barber come in and buzz their heads. One size fits all! Last year was a Covid year and so we had very few drill meets. The boys grew their hair out and I didn’t recognize half of them.My daughter has short hair but after NSI she decided she wants to grow it out. I think she's having a hard time only using 2 visible bobby pins and figuring out how to make it look acceptable without it going shorter than she wants. I know the girls woke up extra early to make sure they had time to do their hair. From what she said, I'm not sure that shorter was necessarily easier (at least in my DD's case).
