No disagreement there. But, we have not really had a problem with that with our guys in the regiment (hand, face, neck). I have never seen it. But, I'm sure there are one, or two knuckleheads running around with that. But, the policy, as it stands now, eliminates a huge number of our NCOs that have tattoos below the knee, or elbow, and are larger than a palm. Dive team guys and CIF guys come to mind. Like I said before, ASU (as in for DA photo) and ACU should be the standard. If they can't be seen in those, a guy should be good-to-go. Our WO population is going to take the biggest hit with this policy.
