re-posting in light of the recent changes to Army regulations as it concerns hair. Below you'll find real stories about real soldiers and their natural hair journeys.
I came to Japan to support the 'Curly Troops'. To show them some love and let them know that their service doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Although I've received messages from folks stationed overseas and thought I had a pretty good understanding, when I finally arrived on the base, I was overwhelmed. These are women, just like you and me, but they really do the impossible everyday.
I was expecting around 15 attendees so imagine my surprise when 50 women showed up, of which 99% were active service women (the rest were wives and contractors). They came seeking good information, access, education and fellowship. And that's what went down. God bless our troops.
