Coast Guard Auxiliary and Homeland Security
(Capt Lou) wrote in message ...
Agree. But how about doing ordinary safety patrols? I am not talking about
entering restricted channels where military ships or secrets might be, and I am
not talking about entering channels or buildings where nuclear power plants are
located. Just ordinary patrols!
My auxiliarist friend was ordered to cut his hair if he was to attend an
auxiliarist seminar at the Coast Guard Academy. Otherwise, he was told he would
not be welcomed to walk around the campus in uniform with the cadets.
As someone who chose the handicap of a ponytail over 35 years ago, I
say that you have to deal with it. Sounds like he can go to the
seminar, they just want to keep some sort of unifomity to the cadets.
Dad told me at the age of 12 that "if you want to wear your hair long,
there will be folks who will not accept you because of that" (I
decided to grow it anyway of course
, and have also cut it several
times over the years when the situation called for it such as a job or
event where it may cause problems, or out of respect for an event or
other situation. Like I say, long hair is a choice you make, and like
all choices, you have to live with the concequences, or cut it off!
The worst thing you can do is cry about it, that just reinforces the
stereotypes.
