‘Hair’ problem has Adm. Zumwalt singing a different tune
m
The trend Is....HAIR. And the
^^foresight to move with trends of
the nation has prompted the Navy
to clarify certain "fuzzy" stand-
ards.
To be specific, CNO(Z-70) has
, further clarified what Navy-wide
commands have been tearing their
hair over by defining limitations
to both length and style. And
' the results determination of hair
style is an individual decision.
Within this criteria, hair
shall be neatly trimmed, length
not to exceed the collar at the
back of the neck, except when ta-
pered and closely trimmed. Hair
in front shall not fall below the
brow when uncovered or bush out
below properly worn , headgear.
The exact maximum length of hair
is no longer specified, yet shall
not interfere with military head-
gear.
Sideburns will not extend be-
low the bottom of the earlobe,
will be of even width with no
flare and end in a clean shaven
horizontal line. Beards shall be
well-groomed, full and partial
beards, including Vandykes and
goatees, are authorized.
With dungarees, the wearing of
blue working jackets, raincoats,
or peacoats is also authorized,
but only on a to-and-from work
basis. Flight jackets may be
worn with flight suits, if they
are appropriate in appearance.

Beneficial suggestions reap profits;

Two defense force members be-
came $270 richer for beneficial
suggestions submitted during 1970.
The total reflects the defense
force's share in the $143,748
awarded to military and civilian
personnel last year, according to
the IRO.
In January 1970, ASM2 John C.
A. Schroeder was awarded $100 for
his recommendation to eliminate
leaking .water from interfering
with the equipment, personnel and
shop spaces he worked in.
Then in March, SK3 Richard R.
Hauser suggested methods leading
to the automation of the job or-
der record keeping system. He
was awarded $170 for his ideas.
Civilians working with the de-
fense force, both Icelandic and
rican, also received cash a-
ards last year. The highest
award went to three Icelanders of
the fire department who modified
an old Air Force ambulance. A
crash-rescue vehicle emerged from
what would have been a scrapped
vehicle, and $800 was the reward
for their efforts.
The cash awards program was
conceived to give military person-
nel an incentive to contribute
worthwhile ideas that help save
time and money, or do a better
job. Suggestions that do not
warrent a cash award, but are
nevertheless meritorious, result
in a letter of appreciation entry
in the individual's service re-
cord.
Four suggestions have been re-
lived since the beginning of
^his year. Suggestions are sub-
mitted to the department in charge
of the area for which changes are
recommended. An inter-departmen-
tal committee headed by Cdr. J.
W. Alexander then decides whether
the suggestion merits a cash a-
ward.
Accepted recommendations are
then submitted to higher author-
ity for evaluation and applica-
tion to service-wide use. At
this point, suggestions become
eligible for further cash awards
depending on general adaptability.
