All cadets will be required to maintain minimum acceptable grooming standards in
everyday dress as well as in uniform. Male Cadets will be required to shave,
maintain a "military" style haircut, and will NOT be allowed to wear earrings.
GROOMINGHair of male cadets will be tapered in the back with sideburns no longer than the orifice of the ear, neatly trimmed. Hair will not fall over the ears or eyebrows and the hair on top will not interfere with normal wear of the military cover. Male cadets will always be clean-shaven except that a moustache may be worn if neatly trimmed. Hair of female cadets when in uniform will be pinned and arranged so that it will not fall below the collar of the uniform being worn. Hair will not be worn in such a way that the uniform cover cannot be worn properly.
