Army grants Sikh enlistees waiver for beards and turbans
McLean Virginia reports that after lawsuits by Sikh enlistees and the Sikh Coalition, the Army granted exemptions to wear beards and turbans during basic training. Captain Simratpal Singh, formerly at West Point, had already received a temporary administrative exception. The coalition seeks a permanent policy change to allow all Sikhs to serve with their religious beard and headwear.
