Marine Corps Order P1020
Marine Corps Order P1020.34G. This one order clearly explains every uniform regulation the Marine Corps has. It goes into to detail on everything from hair color to boots and utilities. From chevron placement to shaven faces. It not only explains the male uniform regulations, but female uniform regulations as well. In this essay, I will explain go over specifically grooming standards for both male and female marines, why the marine corps has uniform regulations in the first place, and what these uniform regulations mean to me as a lance corporal of marines. Let’s start out with grooming standards. What are they you ask? Well the grooming standards go into specific detail about how marines need to look. Hair has to be neat and closely trimmed. The hair may be clipped at the edges of the side and back and will be evenly graduated all the way around the head, from zero length at the hairline in the lower portion of the head to the upper portion of the head. Hair can not be over three inches in length fully extended on the top portion of the head. Extended hair, not the style of the hair, will determine its proper length. It also states that no male marine No male marine will be required to have his entire hair length shaven to the scalp expect while he is undergoing recruit training or when such action is prescribed by a medical officer. This does not keep a male marine from having his hair clipped or shaved to the scalp if he so desires. As male marines, when we get a haircut is determined by what unit and command you are with, but it is usually once every weekend. That is almost universal in the Marine Corps, but while being deployed, everything changes and you could go a few weeks before getting a haircut. So it just depends on where you are. For females, they do not have to get a haircut once a week like the male marines. But they do still have to keep it looking professional. The order on female Marines’ hair is pretty long. It basically says that when they

    The National Industrial Security Program (NISPOM) Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22M from February, 1995 Section 5 describes how magnetic disks are to be sanitized via overwriting. Within Section 5 it states, “To clear magnetic disks, overwrite all locations three (3) times (first time with a character, second time with its complement, and the third time with a random character)” (United States, 1995). It would seem a three or seven pass wipe would be sufficient, but this level of wiping is not considered necessary today. The density of tracks in hard drives over 15GB in size, which were built after 2001lend them to be satisfactorily wiped with one pass. According to Kissel, Regenscheid, Scholl & Stine (2014), one pass of a fixed data value is sufficient to clear a hard drive, but also states more than one pass is optional. The reason for the new idea of using one wiping pass comes from the lack of space between the tracks and how the writing heads are large enough to cover the space between the tracks. The majority of hard drive wiping tools tout they are DoD 5220.22M compliant and some are actually certified as compliant.…

    P2 uniformed public services UNIT 21

    Today I am going to talk to you about the types and methods of searches conducted by staff in a custodial environment and also control measures in a custodial environment. Firstly, I am going to talk to you about searches in a custodial environment. Searches are very important in prisons overall for security purposes. Searches can be planned or random or part of the system of the prison, routine or intelligence-led. Everyone entering the prison needs to be searched before they are allowed in the prison, including staff. The type of searches depends on many things such as, the risk of safety that person may cause and what type of category the prison is. High security prisons, that hold Category A prisoners, will routinely search all staff and visitors. There are also x-ray machines to look in bags, coats and shoes of people that cross the security gates of the prison. In Category C prisons, visitors and staff aren’t routinely searched before entering the prison. Items that aren’t allowed to enter prisons are; metal, cutlery, scissors, computers, mobile phones and obviously alcohol, drugs and weapons. All goods that are arriving to the prison have to be screened, even post. This is extremely important because many stuff can be smuggled into the items, for example drugs can be smuggled into the prison by being concealed in the spine binding of books and magazines. Prison staff also search the prisoners cells and other parts of the building on a routine and intelligence-led basis. They also search the perimeter of the prisons walls outside to make sure nothing bad was thrown into the prison, for example weapons. Searching can also involve certain detectors and also dogs, for dangerous items that have slipped through the security checks. Staff have to respect individuals and their property during searching them.…

    Reserve Police Battalion 101

    Throughout Hitler’s reign over Germany there was an agenda that existed which led to murders of a great number of innocent people. The agenda was the extermination of Jews from Germany so that Germany could become a pure country in terms of ethnicity. It was Hitler’s idea but he only gave the orders while the SS and the Order Police carried out the orders. One group of people that helped carry out this idea of judenfrei or Jew free Germany was the Reserve Police Battalion 101. The men who made up this group were regular men that had come from a variety of careers. Most the men volunteered because the immunity that they would receive from “conscription into the army” once the volunteers had become part of the Order Police. The Reserve Police Battalion 101 played a crucial role in helping Germany get rid of a lot of Jews, which resulted in “a group of normal middle-aged German men” becoming mass murders. “But how did these men first become mass murders” and most importantly what motivated the men to commit the mass murder? There are three major motivations that led the Reserve Police Battalion 101 to commit the mass murders: following orders from their leaders, conformity, and the propaganda that was being used by the Nazi Regime.…

    Hair Regs

    Marine Corps grooming standards are in place to conform Marines to a singular uniform look. Another reason for hair regulations is to maintain uniformity within a military population. They keep us from being too eccentric and while in Garrison they help us to keep a professional look about us at all times. They keep us from just “looking like everyone else,” and help us to stay a cut above the rest. Male marines are known as “jarheads” because of their haircuts. Female marines can be pointed out by the tight bun and slicked back hair. Marines throughout history have always stood out from other branches for many reasons one being their grooming. The hair cut regulations are stated as an even fade from 0 to no more than 3” on the top of the head as long as the hair doesn’t interfere with any uniform article. There can be no eccentric designs or anything shaved into one’s head. For females the hair must be wrapped in a tight bun in the center of the back of the head not to exceed 3 inches from the scalp and be no wider than the width of one’s head. Females can wear bangs but they can not fall into the line of sight and can’t affect the wearing of any headgear. For both male and female bleaches, tints, and dyes are authorized as long as they give a natural appearance. Women's hairstyles require non-eccentric styles. Female Marines must be well groomed at all times and when in uniform have to abide by the following guidelines: “Hair may touch the collar, but will not fall below the collar's lower edge. Hair that would fall naturally below the collar's lower edge will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned. During physical training periods in which physical training clothing is worn, hair will be allowed to fall naturally,…

    Appearance Is a Very Important and Highly Regarded Concept in the Military.

    Appearance is a very important and highly regarded concept in the military. It is the staple of first impressions, the visual hand shake. A sergeant looks at his soldiers and judges their readiness for the day with how they appear. Why? Because it is a representation of honor, integrity, and duty. A soldier who takes the time out his day to make sure he looks excellent and looks like he is a soldier shows that he is a dedicated worker and that his Non-commissioned officers do not have to waste their time with correcting his deficiencies. Aspects of appearance in the military include: looking physically healthy, If a soldier doesn’t look healthy than he looks like he may not be able to perform soldiering task and the basic duties given to him throughout the day, wear and presentation of the uniform, The way a soldier wears and presents his uniform shows how he feels about his country and how dedicated he is to his branch of service and it also shows that he can conduct himself to a certain standard, Being cleanly shaved, A soldier who is cleanly shaved show’s that he is a professional who cares about how he presents himself to his peers, his superiors, and the military, The military haircut, The way a soldier has his haircut dates back to the revolutionary war and has been a constant in the United States Armed Forces since then. The military haircut is one of the most important aspects of military appearance because it is the first thing the average person on the street sees to identify that the soldier is different, that he is more disciplined and ready to defend the nation, that he is a member of the military. Haircuts in the military can differ from many different styles, such as the buzzcut, a soldier gets in basic training, the high and tight the marines have, the popular crew cut, the high fade, and the low fade. In the army a haircut is to standard if the sideburns are to the first opening of the ear, the hair is not touching the ears, the hair is not…
