An induction cut is the shortest possible hairstyle without shaving the head with a razor. The style is so named as it is traditionally the first haircut given to new male recruits during initial entry into many of the world's armed forces, but most particularly in the United States.

Although the term "induction cut" is generally used to refer to male military haircuts, females also endure a form of an induction haircut, in that their hair may be trimmed to chin-length. The concept of an "induction haircut" has also been the focus of litigation, such as in the case of The Citadel where attorneys for the first female cadet, Shannon Faulkner, argued that the "knob haircut" (referring to the college's freshman class's traditional nickname) would "implement rules which altogether denigrate Ms. Faulkner's identity as a woman."

The U.S. Army service uniform is the military uniform worn by personnel in situations in which non-formal dress is called for. It is worn in most workday situations in which business dress would be called for. It can be worn at most public and official functions.

The green service uniform is slowly being replaced by the blue uniform.

The blue Army Service Uniform (ASU) is the "new" service uniform, and was adopted for optional wear in 2008. It was issued to new soldiers starting in the fall 2010, and must be worn army-wide as mandatory wear after October 2015. The ASU is replacing two uniforms already in use -- the "Army Green" service uniform and the "Army White" service uniform. It will be based on the current dress uniform known as the "dress blue" uniform. It has its roots in the historical "Army Blue" uniform, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, in which the Continental Army outfitted its soldiers in blue to distinguish them from the red uniform coats that British Army personnel wore in their uniforms of the time. It also recalls the Civil War Union Army's blue uniforms."

1957 - Women's Army Blue uniform same cut as 1951 Taupe-121 uniform.

1962 - Women's Army Blue same as Army Green uniform, with new service hat.

The new army ASU will include a new coat and low waist trousers for male soldiers; and a new coat, slacks and skirt for female soldiers. The new fabric for the ASU is heavier and more wrinkle resistant than previously manufactured uniforms and will consist of 55% wool and 45% polyester material. The new ASU coat will have a tailored, athletic cut to improve uniform fit and appearance. The ASU will include a new improved heavier and wrinkle resistant short and long-sleeved white shirt with permanent military creases and shoulder loops.

The army encourages soldiers and leaders who own the current Army Blue Uniform to wear it, when appropriate, as their Dress, Class "A", or Class "B" Uniform. The fielding of the new uniform policy establishes a Class "B" Uniform category for the current Army Blue Uniform as part of its bridging strategy. The Class "B" Uniform category defines those ASU items worn without the service coat.

The dress blue ASU for males includes the blue coat and trousers and a long-sleeved white shirt with black tie. The dress blue ASU for females includes the blue coat, skirt, and a long-sleeved white shirt with black neck tab. Currently, females in army bands, honor guards, and female chaplains are authorized to wear army blue slacks in the performance of their duties. The black beret and service cap are authorized for wear with this uniform. Combat boots and organizational items, such as brassards, military police (MP) accessories and distinctive unit insignia (DUI) are not worn. All other accessories and insignia authorized for wear with the Class "A" service uniform are authorized for wear on the Dress Blue ASU.

United States Army Basic Training (also known as Initial Entry Training or IET) is a rigorous program of physical and mental training required in order for an individual to become a soldier in the United States Army, United States Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. It is carried out at several different Army posts around the United States. Basic Training is designed to be highly intense and challenging. The challenge comes as much from the difficulty of physical training as it does from the required quick psychological adjustment to an unfamiliar way of life.

Basic Training is divided into two parts: Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training.

  • That's the hottest army march I've ever heard!

  • When I went in in the late 1970's, we did not get the Class A uniforms till basic was half over. We also arrived at around 1230 AM, and not by private car, more like a bus ride from the Atlanta airport.
