Original: Fewer beards, more fitness tests a year after Hegseth summoned senior leaders to Quantico
One year after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned senior military leaders to Quantico, Virginia, his directives appear to be taking hold: stricter grooming standards mean fewer beards across the ranks, and expanded fitness testing has been introduced. The changes reflect his push to reshape military culture and readiness standards, and the anniversary has drawn fresh attention to how those orders are being implemented.
Why now: The anniversary of Hegseth's Quantico meeting is prompting a look at how his grooming and fitness policies have been rolled out.
