Who’s the old codger in Denison smock and general officer tabs you’re having a chat with?The good old CAF issue beret isn't that bad, if you rip out the liner and give it the ol' boiling water treatment.

I’m actually surprised that coloured hair is still good. Some folks will still gnash their teeth at blue and pink hair.
Of course, now you can have the “multicoloured hair and black accessories” look

Define coloured hair. Give a standard that includes / excludes "just for men". I'll wait...I’m actually surprised that coloured hair is still good. Some folks will still gnash their teeth at blue and pink hair.

Can't have more than an inch of beard but blue hair is still cool? That can't be right.

Hey, I’m all about the option for whatever coloured hair. I was fine with the previous “new” dress regs too.

The problem was not the new regs, it was the underlying assumption of professionalism and the reluctance of leaders to correct individuals who look like hoboes who let themselves go.

From Canada.ca
"Is unnatural-coloured hair acceptable in ceremonial orders of dress? And must accessories match the colour of hair?"
Yes, the colouring of hair is permitted in all orders of dress unless it inhibits an operational duty. For example, bright coloured hair may have a negative operational impact during field operations or training. Leaders are invited to discuss with their members to find a simple, suitable accommodation, such as a scarf to cover the hair. Accessories do not have to match the colour of the member’s hair. However, all accessories shall meet safety and operational requirements and not must not discredit the CAF.
Un-fucking-believable. So they decide to keep the shit the our allies hate, but you're not allowed to have more than an inch of beard. These assclowns deserve the implosion of the CAF.
