    They will climb into your bunk at night and clip your hair with their jaws to line their nests

    That’s kind of a weird rumor to start considering military men don’t have hair. I guess maybe it’s to scare the ladies?

      I dunno, I’m a lady and it didn’t scare me. Most male soldiers had a high n’ tight haircut, which leaves longer hair on the top of the head, about an inch in length at most. Also, barbers weren’t exactly readily available all the time, and hair regulations kind of went out the window depending on your location in county.
