Camp Humphreys Announces Reopening of Closed Base Facilities as Coronavirus Fears Decrease
Time for people to start getting their hair back into standards:
As the daily count of coronavirus cases declines in South Korea, Camp Humphreys will take a step toward normalcy this weekend by reopening gyms, barber shops and some other services, the commander said Thursday.
Anticipating crowds, garrison commander Col. Michael Tremblay said military standards for haircuts would be phased back in slowly.
“What we don’t want to have is a rush on the barbershop,” he said in a community update via Facebook live. “We know you’re all shaggy out there and that’s fine.”
“We’re going to do this deliberately. So you’re going to get at least a week before there’s going to be any type of hair cut inspection,” he said.

You can read more at the link, but I wonder how many infections it would take for everything to get closed back down again?
USFK can shave my mullet from my dead cold scalp.
@Drago… that could qualify as TMI… 😆 😆 😆
So, in an effort to not have lines at the barbershop, he’s delaying the grooming standards enforcement by a week. Guess that means there will be lines at the barbershop in a week!
Huge lines today. Sometimes it is hard to get a haircut when you don’t have 1 hour to spend waiting in a normal week. Now everyone is 3.5 weeks out of regulation.
A trusted source (me) took almost 4 hours today to get a haircut. The cut was good but there was not attempt to show you the back with a mirror. I can’t complain and I am impressed by those who stand in line; they actually care.
On the funny side, one 10-12 year old came in and scowled at the line and so did two retirees who had to be in their 80s. Love you but you guys can wait; literally for ever.
Good for you, Drago! Yes, we must all suffer together. I bought the wife nice scissors and she keeps me presentable. I also have a couple electric devices for face and “verge”…
