I have seen some Jew's walking around here wearing it 24/7 in uniform.

And:
AR 670-1 currently states, "(2) Soldiers may wear religious headgear while in uniform if the headgear meets the following criteria.
(a) It must be subdued in color (black, brown, green, dark or navy blue, or a combination of these colors).
(b) It must be of a style and size that can be completely covered by standard military headgear, and it cannot
interfere with the proper wear or functioning of protective clothing or equipment.
(c) The headgear cannot bear any writing, symbols, or pictures.
(d) Personnel will not wear religious headgear in place of military headgear when military headgear is required
(outdoors, or indoors when required for duties or ceremonies).
(3) Personal grooming. Hair and grooming practices are governed by paragraph 1–8 of this regulation, and exceptions or accommodations based on religious practices will not be granted. As an exception, policy exceptions based on religious practice given to soldiers in accordance with AR 600–20 on or prior to 1 January 1986 remain in effect as long as the soldier remains otherwise qualified for retention."

I'm not going to get too far into this one this time because I almost got myself in a bit of trouble for posting it. However, They just allowed someone into the Army that has a full beard and is also allowing him to wear his turban with his uniform.

And I'm done.

Yamikas are authorized in the AF too, still need installation CC approval.
