Haircuts
Long story short, the barber really jacked my hair up. Asked for a medium, ended up with a high and rediculous. Do I absolutely have to get one every week, or is there an actual order that states "one per pay period" so I can let this fade grow out and not look like a motard?

I've read a MCO before stating that, but I cannot find it, here is a link to one though.
You can really just get it done again on Sunday, and it would start to turn back into a medium fade, then you wouldn't have someone else ask if you didn't get a haircut.

You have to get one every paycheck or when needed or whenever someone says something about it. So pretty much every week. I got tired of barbers jacking up my low fade, I bought clippers and started doing it myself.

I would ask for a low fade and you probably get a medium fade. Also, try and go to a shop that Marines don't really go to because barbers that cut Marines always seem to think we want high and tight. I think high and tight looks really stupid. Actually, I saw on your profile that you live in San Diego. When I was going to recruiters school I used to go every sunday to the barber shop at MCRD and Canaan Brumley would cut my hair. He cut an excellent low fade. The name might be familiar because he is the guy who filmed and directed ears open, eyeballs click. I don't know if he is still there, but if he is that guy cuts really good.

When they cut mine high, I just get a low for a few weeks before going back to medium

You won't find anything in writing that says you only have to get a haircut once during a specific period. You are required to get a haircut as needed. And with you being a Marine, you know when it is time. Use your better judgement and you will be good to go.

I ****ing HATE getting haircuts at **** holes like Fantastic Sams. So, I found an actual nearby barber, and they charge SEVENTEEN DOLLARS for a damn fade. The barbers on New River were always the best. They knew how to swing with the wing.

Speaking of haircuts I need to go cut my hair, shave, and look Motivating, before my Young Marine Staff Meeting, and Drill this weekend.

We used to love going to"Whitewall Willy" he only knew one way to cut hair and he was so old you couldn't really get mad at the guy.
