As Occam mentioned, here is the link to the ref:

(page 59 of the pdf)

The reference is dated 1 June 2011, so it is reasonably recent for home based references (vice the DIN).

On a related note, does anyone know of a barber in Calgary who can do a proper military cut?

I went to John P. at Northill mall for years, but he retired.  Never found a replacement.

Where are all of the reservists going since Currie closed?

What do you consider a proper military cut?

Any barber shop should suffice.

I've been all over here in YYC.  If you print off the diagram from the 265 then there shouldn't be an issues.  But I just usually ask for a 1 on the sides tapered up to a 2 on the top and thin it out.  Make sure the do the outlining and the back can be square or tapered.  With those instructions most barbershop/hair places will do an alright job.

Now if I could only get them to imporve on my good looks...

To paraphrase Dr McCoy from Star Trek...they're only barbers, not plastic surgeons.

;D.

Is there a hair length restriction for females?

My hair is quite long, and I start BMQ on Feb 4th, wondering if I need to see a guy about a chop before I go.

I have a Zack Brown meets Brian Wilson beard  :SOF: ... theyre gonna shave it arent they!? Or make me shave it?? Maybe I should decline the offer. Im awfully attached to this beard. Im gonna be in BMQ and look like a 12 year old.  :crybaby:

You're an adult, and you are physically/mentally able to take care of yourself.  Yes, you will have to shave your beard off unless you have a medical condition/have Medical staff give you a no shave chit.  If you do get a chit, you will have to keep the beard trimmed/within regulation.

Someone else will give you a hair cut though, so I hope you aren't overly attached to your hair style right now.

Maybe I should decline the offer. Im awfully attached to this beard. Im gonna be in BMQ and look like a 12 year old.  :crybaby:

Are you serious, or just being melodramatic?

Most recruits look like 12 year olds. You'll be in good company.

So, you made the whole cry baby post for sh*ts n giggles?  Well, at least you aren't seriously having issues/self doubt over a shave...

Moral support from strangers on a forum?  Perhaps you should look more towards family/friends for moral support.

I'm a 19 year old student looking to get into the reserves. I'm a Muslim who has decided to keep facial hair (not very long, this is exactly how it looks like and grows.

I love my religion as much as I love my country and am proud to look forward to serving a country that allows me practice my religion freely.

Is having facial hair allowed?
