I didn't say I had a skin head when I was in the army. My sidewalls were never down to bare skin. I said my style was "high and tight." Even after QL2 and QL3 I kept my hair this way. I was never more than a pte anyway. My buddy who was a member of 3ESR didn't even look like he was in the army when he took off his beret. Looked like he was wearing a mop. On many occassions taxi drivers tried to take me to base, especially in Daegu. Here in Seoul a young guy tried to fight me in a bar one night because he thought I was a GI!! I had to take my Alien Registration Card just to prove I wasn't a GI. You should be able to find out about the regs on hair at army.ca I believe #14 In fact, you can shave your head in the CF.

Most guys keep it short on top. I think the 6 inch rules is just there because of Canada's strong anti-discrimination laws...if it's okay for women to have long hair on top, then it must be ok for men. PS.

Whatever is under the beret can be as long as 6 inches, as a matter of fact. I still get about the same haircut I did when I was in the military, short on the sides, no more than an inch on top. It looks strange to me otherwise. Never had trouble getting a taxi, although I've had American soldiers mistake me for one of them. #13,

I'm not a GI or American, but after I left the military I kept the "high and tight" style because, well, I like it. With all these beatings going on I'm going to have to buy a wig just to get a cab.
