Where should male sideburns not exceed past?

The standard regarding male sideburns within the Navy states that they should not extend below the middle of the ear. This guideline ensures a uniformly neat appearance in line with the overall grooming standards expected of Navy personnel. Sideburns must be trimmed in such a manner that they are kept at an appropriate length and are not excessively wide, which can detract from a professional military appearance. Properly maintained sideburns that meet this standard maintain the uniformity and discipline of the Navy's grooming policy.
