Ear Stretchers

[ComDvr13]

Hello,

I am writing my CFAT next week or so and I am wondering what the consensus is on ear stretchers. They're 00Gauge so quite  small as these things go and they wont shrink and look terrible when the plug isnt in anyway. Will I be forced to remove them during BMQ if I make it? Or forever the rest of my military career? Can I get skin colored ones?

Anyone with this issue?

Cheers,

If they are what I think they are then yes it will be an issue while you wear the uniform or are considered "on duty".  The CF has a policy on piercings.

My concensus is they're $&#()$* stupid looking.  (You asked...)

ill I be forced to remove them during BMQ if I make it?

Yes

Or forever the rest of my military career?

Anytime you are on duty you can't wear them including if you are in civies (Dress With A Difference days, etc).

Can I get skin colored ones?

You can get a whole rainbow of colors, but you can't wear any of them in uniform or on duty.

What are your ears going to look like when you grow out of that fad?

Rather uncomfortable when the need arises.

Also uncomfortable when someone pad locks you to your bed.

I'm hoping that you're not speaking from experience on that one...

MM

 

[Robert0288]

No it happened to someone else on course who kept sticking their fingers through their ears.  A pad lock was locked into place on her ear, and a chain ran from that to a bed post.

End result achieved, lesson learned.  No more sticking fingers through their ears.

Don't pay any attention to these haters.  NOTHING screams badass professional JTF2 assaulter/underwater knife fighter/ninja like a couple of Dana 60 axle bearing races jammed into your earlobes.

Christ.  I'm old and out of touch.  Until I started reading the thread I didn't have a friggin clue what an "ear stretcher" was. 

One of my youngsters at work has the toilet seat look.  There's several of the kids as a matter of fact.  To each their own.  :dunno:

 

[George Wallace]

And they seriously think that that is attractive?

Get used to looking terrible for the next 25 years. You wouldn't be wearing them in my section.

We gave my guy a hard time, kidding wise when he first came on board.  He seems to be somewhat embarrassed by it now ( the condition of the ears) and say's "looking back, it was kind of stupid..."
