NSman: Is Hair Length for IPPT/ RT same as Reservist ICT?

To my dismay i recently failed my IPPT, so i'll be going for RT soon. My hair is about shoulder length now. During IPPT nobody complained, but I heard that sometimes the RT instructor might kp. There was a previous post (see http://sgforums.com/forums/1390/topics/374910?page=1) where the guy was told to cut his hair but unfortunately i don't know what eventually happened to him.

Are they actually likely to charge someone just because their hair is long? As I recall the charge procedure is very long and may take several weeks to process. Doesn't seem like a PTI would go through all that trouble just to charge someone he'll only see for 1-2 months at most?

hey TS, u referring to those PTI enciks or the more senior guys [SSG abv]?

usually such things are a waste of time, unless the long hair has been there for too long and/or the FCC OC kena something from the top telling him to 'settle' u.

Some grow long hair because of their profession, cut away, the attraction is gone and equal to a dead man in low spirit and business goes into drain and economy affect.

k thanks guys, the response has been quite heartening haha. i haven't been called up for ICT yet and i'm still on "holding list" when i call to ask, so i asked some of my older friends and they said you won't be called up until they assign you a designated unit. so at least for now no need to worry about ICT =)
