Fun with Army Regulations

Here's some excerpts from real Army Regulations:

* Many ineffective officers are attractive, handsome, decent, educated, honorable, intelligent and generous, and yet ineffective. It is perfectly proper to give an officer credit for his good qualities in the same letter or efficiency report which reveals his ineffectiveness as an officer.

- well, at least he's handsome

* Why there is an Army Writing Program: Too much Army writing does not communicate well.

- well, that sentence looks good

* Extreme, eccentric, or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are not authorized. If soldiers use dyes, tints, or bleaches, they must choose those that result in natural hair colors. Colors that detract from a professional military appearance are prohibited. Therefore, soldiers should avoid using colors that result in an extreme appearance. Applied hair colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright (fire-engine) red, and fluorescent or neon colors.

- What!? Is that fire-engine red soldier!?


More to come as I find them....
