 and welcome to SITREP, army news that affects you. Soldiers can now wear headphones and PTs. Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel Daly has been pushing for this change for a while. Earbuds and PTs, great initiative. And first, it's only inside the gym. So, like he said, they're only allowed while working out inside the gym, not outside, not even around your neck or attached to your uniform. Wired and wireless headphones are allowed, but they must be conservative and discreet, which means ear pads cannot be more than an inch and a half in diameter.

In the picture, the boy.
