I have kinky/nappy hair will that cause problems ?

Question

Okay so it's finally happening. I'm taking the ASVAB for the Marines next week and then I'll enlist as soon as possible. I'm an African American female with kinky hair . Will I be required to get it relaxed before boot camp? Will my hair be a problem if kept natural?

Answer 1

you'll just get yelled at for it but its not like you can really do much for it in bootcamp, since the products arent available to you. They recongize this, and just like to utilize it as a tool to yell at you.  My CAC card picture is terrible because of how my hair was in basic lol
