When i was with the wing at New River, across from Lejeune, I saw plenty of guys with this haircut. Sometimes I couldn't distinguish one guy from another.

Edit: that was nearly ten years ago though. Nice to see some things dont change.

The barber on base:

Welp new record 15 seconds!

Soldier: Is it even?

Barber: It took 15 seconds.

I cut my own hair trapped in housing during covid and I still managed a better job than the base barbershop.

If you are in the military and you know you are only gonna be in for 4 years, there is no reason to not just be bald the entire time.

First off, they make you bald to begin with, so fuck it they give you a start on it. You’ll never get a decent haircut at a military barbershop. You will pay them for the shitty haircut. Depending where you are stationed, you will spend around an hour or more waiting for your fucked up haircut.

Being bald you save money, save time, it’s cleaner (dudes be coming out of the field with dirty ass hair like a horror troll), and nobody will ever get on your shit about haircut regulations.
