What is the maximum length that a male cadet's hair can be?

The maximum length that a male cadet's hair can be is four inches. This standard is established to maintain a uniform appearance across all cadets and to emphasize discipline, which is a core value in NJROTC. When hair exceeds this length, it can detract from the overall presentability and military bearing that is expected of cadets during inspections and in uniform. The specification of four inches allows for some personal grooming while still adhering to the requirement for a neat and clean look that aligns with military standards. This detail helps to cultivate a sense of pride and professionalism within the corps.
