Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

[Tosk]

Are you Noga Landau or Steven Weintraub?

I'm guessing one of these peeps is the more likely option.

And if you violate those regulations you get written up.

They dont hold you down and shave you.

And you also get ordered to get a haircut, shave, etc. And if you don't follow that order? You get further action taken, like the brig, lost pay or rank, court martial, etc.

Why? Because you aren't following the rules AND you are not following orders, which in itself is a worse problem. Means discipline is broken down.

Caleb knowingly signed up for Starfleet, and therefore is subject to its rules and discipline.

Getting a haircut is hardly losing 'body autonomy'. Neither is being ordered to do the same.

I'm guessing you dont know about the massive amounts of trouble various military's have in real life with their hair policies?

You sign up to serve, that means you follow the regulations. And that's part of it.

Shouldn't be an issue.

So no...

Would it surprise you too know that real life military's have been forced to adjust their hair policies multiple times because they were deemed to be discriminatory?
