What are the rules for haircuts in the Australian Army?

I'm joining the army soon and i currently have a number one cut all over. Can anyone please tell me how short your hair is aloud to be? I thought the only problem was if your hair was too long?What are the rules for haircuts in the Australian Army?
You get a number one cut when you rock up at Kapooka, and again before you leave.





You can grow your hair longer after that, but it must be within certain limits, and most soldiers have number one cuts anyway. You can't shave your head completely (that's to say, buzz all your hair off, and go over the leftover bristles with a razor). Your hair can't touch your ears, collar, eyebrows... mostly common sense. Number one cuts are ideal.What are the rules for haircuts in the Australian Army?
well im sure a bit of hair would be ok


but the norm is to go skinhead


it is much easier to be bold as the helmet could


irritate you in a war situation and its just easier to maintain
That'll be fine.





Can't recall off the top of my head how short it has to be -- but do a google search for ';Australian Army Standing Order for Dress';. It will see to your every grooming need.
Number 2 all over.
