What is the maximum length for male hair in uniform?

The maximum length for male hair in uniform is 4 inches, which is designated in the grooming standards outlined for the uniform appearance. This regulation is in place to maintain a neat, professional look that reflects the values of the NJROTC and military service. Hair must not touch the collar and should be styled in a manner that prevents it from falling over the forehead or eyes, contributing to a disciplined appearance. The standards emphasize uniformity, cleanliness, and respect for the military tradition, ensuring that all cadets present themselves appropriately while in uniform. This grooming requirement is part of instilling pride and professionalism among NJROTC participants.
