irishJane - yes they can DQ you for tattoos. Culture, heritage and religion make no difference and in many cases they are non-waiverable. The exact standards vary by branch, but USMC is (last time I read the regs) the most restrictive about tattoos. It's ok if you're grandfathered in but new recruits (or returning prior service) can get DQ'd based on the location and content of the tattoo. I've heard from rejected recruits who were turned away for having a confederate flag in a non-exposed location. It was considered a tattoo "not reflecting the best values of the United States Military." With Air Force, the restriction (again, last I checked the regs) is that any exposed tattoo while wearing the PT uniform cannot take up more than 25% of the exposed body part. No tattoos above the collar bone. Tattoos cannot be controversial, hateful, or contrary to Air Force values. Tattoos on the saluting arm are permitted but extremely frowned upon (they used to be an automatic DQ for a short while). Ultimate approval or rejection of tattoos is at the discretion of the Commander. Tattoos violating AF standards (for existing airmen) must be removed at the airman's own expense. For potential recruits, it's a DQ with no waivers authorized. The bottom line is that none of the military branches really need anyone. They're all blowing away their recruiting and retention goals (and have been for a few years now) so they can afford to be very selective. Some people who are enlisting are finding themselves waiting up to a year after joining for their job to become available. Some are taking over a year which requires them to DEP in a second time.

Hm. That was quite enlightening, 96. Thanks for satisfying my curiousity. :]

No problem. :) It's also worth noting that the military tweaks regs a lot and can backtrack, so it could certainly change. The Air Force saluting arm restriction is a good example. They instituted a restriction saying that a tattoo anywhere on your saluting arm is not allowed. In the short time this policy was in effect, the Air Force turned away about 26 highly qualified recruits because they had a tattoo on their saluting arm. These recruits needed no waivers and had no other issues. Within a few months, they rescinded the policy. Recruiters and recruits alike voiced a lot of criticism about it, so the Air Force really had no choice but to scrap it. With the current recruiting climate, however, I'd be very surprised to see regs on body modification lighten up any.

If it were me I probably wouldn't stop till I finished! Did he . . .finish, for you?

bahahaha this reminds me of grandmas boy..lmao
