Army Secretary John McHugh on Thursday approved a long-awaited revision to grooming and
uniform regulations, according to an Army statement.

The service is working to finalize a pamphlet that will be sent to every corner of the Army i hopes of educating soldiers on the new rules.

Proposed Updates to AR 670-1
1. MANY changes are coming to AR 670-1. This is just a summary of some of them.

DO NOT BEGIN TO ENFORCE UNTIL THE REGULATION IS COMPLETE, APPROVED, AND PUBLISHED!

2. New revision of the regulation will define the following terms: eccentric, faddish, conservative, inconspicuous, unsightly, hair braids/plaits.

10. Tattoos will not be visible above the neck line when the IPFU is worn. Tattoos will not extend below the wrist line and not on the hands. Sleeve tattoos will be prohibited (this one will
be grandfathered).
