TL/DR: White Snr NCM bad.
TL/DR: White Army Snr NCM bad.
At least by the end the survey clarified that it didn't dig into what parts people had issues with, and expressed that perhaps better research is warranted.
Of course you did.That's what I took from it.

I don't agree that it's a "giant nothing burger" if, as you say that most of the CAF doesn't like it.It’s more - most of the CAF doesn’t like it. Your more likely to not like them if your older, in a leadership position, and not part of a visible minority / LGBTQ. I don’t think it ever implies good or bad frankly. Honestly the whole survey seems to point out the giant nothing burger that this controversy actual is in the CAF.
Of course you did.
Doesn’t like it, but not strongly opposed to, look through the stats. It’s all pretty minor stuff.I don't agree that it's a "giant nothing burger" if, as you say that most of the CAF doesn't like it.
It was all pretty minor stuff before they made the changes. It always starts with minor changes...death of a thousand cuts...Doesn’t like it, but not strongly opposed to, look through the stats. It’s all pretty minor stuff.
No, I meant your constant "Army is bad" bias as if there's never been anything wrong with RCN culture, dress or deportment.
I suspect some Jr. pers feel like they can't embrace the regs because their bosses have expressed a dislike for the regs.The slides towards the end I find were more indicative of some of the culture issues these dress issues have identified. If you are older and/or higher up the food chain, you are more comfortable making appearance changes, and feel they are more accepted. Does this imply that we believe Jr personnel haven't earned the right to look non-conforming?
Of course the dress regs needed modernization, but this was pure idiocy designed to appease a tiny faction and/or attempt to recruit those who'd not likely commit to a life of service to begin with.
I’d say that BEARDFORGEN (and to a lesser extent PONYTAILFORGEN) would disagree.It was all pretty minor stuff before they made the changes. It always starts with minor changes...death of a thousand cuts...
My big takeaway is actually that in all respects, there is a decently large chunk who are neutral.It’s more - most of the CAF doesn’t like it.

While one could argue that “neutral” means that they would have been fine if the changes weren’t made, it also means that they’re good with the current changes.
Also, just looking at the questions, Questioons 7-10 (the implementation) would be the ones I’d focus on, especially if I was a junior member.
I think hair colour is often a distraction from the main complaint that I hear, people look scraggly and unkempt. Neon hair in a professional looking style (short, up in a bun, brushed shoulder length, etc.) is better than hair in a natural colour that is all over the place.While a person's hair colour doesn't generally matter to me, I can say that most fluorescent hair colours don't appeal to me personally. However, I have yet to have anyone provide any empirical data that indicates it poses more of a threat in an operational environment than someone with bleach blonde or pure white hair, both of which have always been allowed in the dress Regs.
