US military hairstyle

[Tuffdisc]

Not that I am thinking of getting this done to my hair, but is the short sides and back hairstyle an off shoot off the mohican? (a red indian tribe, not punk)

[Springsteen]

I found that one which has striking similarities between the two.

The Yanks call it a mohawk. Which is less accurate, as most Mohawk's had long hair. Mohican's also did, but also shaved large parts of their head.

[Tuffdisc]

Now I am really confused, lol

Wiki says it's a variant of a buzz cut.

[Aries]

Yeah I'd consider that a buzz cut, not a mohawk.

It's called a high and tight.

I know, I wore it for eight years.

Ooh-Rah! I dropped the high-and-tight after boot camp, lol. When were you in? '82-'86 for me. MOS 2145.

High and tight...oh yeah!!!

May 01 to 09. I was Air Force Intel, Devil Dog. We got the same cut in BMT, I kept it because it's the only cut they don't f up at the BX.

I was an 1N071 - Operations Intelligence Craftsman, Staff Sergeant.

Thanks for your service, hooah!

I know that's so true...Pretty hard to fuck up a Marine regs cut though. You just had to make sure you didn't wind up with shaky Jake....let the naive noob boot go ahead of you in the line, lol.

They would screw up a buzz, lol.

I know that, but is it similar to the Red Indian Mohican hairstyle?

No. That style is longer on top, and not high.
