Seconded.
Had the same comments thrown at me after returning from a two year tour in in NI during the 70s. We were allowed a little leeway with hair length and the F/Sgt in the guardroom at my new posting was not amused by my shaggy appearance. I had just come off the overnight ferry, had endured an awful train journey and was in no mood for his snide remarks. My reply to him ensured I had made an enemy for a year or so until he was posted.
Still, at that time I was the only person on base entitled to wear the GSM.
