Piercings and the Army?

Hubby had plenty of piercings back in high school too... He has also has been in the Navy for almost 10 yrs, and the piercings all healed up nicely... ;) You know the deal- no piercings in the mil (not even in your downtime, really) so why bother? Kinda pointless to pierce anything now that's just gonna have to heal over in 2 yrs anyway
