<p>Another way of looking at this, the NAPS guys are going to have very short hair when they report. Some of them might report with their heads shaved. When our son went from USMAPS to West Point, he and several of his prepster buds shaved their hair before reporting. It saved one station they had to go through and never received any grief about it. What you might want to consider is this, have your hair cut a few weeks before reporting to let your scalp get some sun on it. This will help to prevent sunburn from standing outside for hours on end and if you’ve ever had sunburn on your scalp you know what I’m talking about.</p>
