The way it's sounding I may have to go Army.... I'm having some serious doubts about my chances with the corps the way they seem to be going gung ho anti tattoo, I know when I got out they were starting to talk about getting tougher on tats.

just about all those policies have been out for ever. yes they have revamped some of it but a few years ago they talked about doing the same thing like now, but no one ever enforced the policies. most of the people i work for have full sleves or half. and they're all snco's. but them again i'm on the infantry side of the house so as longs as we can hump, run and shoot they usually really don't give a **** about anything else. but i could be wrong maybe they may finally start cracking down on it. i say talked to a recruiter and see what they have to offer. you def won't get a job in some fields but what do you want to do? if you want to be in the infantry usually it's not going to be a problem, but ask the most they can say is no. there's waviers for everything you can think about. if you can get drug waviers then i don't see why you can't get one for some tats. well just my .02
