 with this particular hairstyle, unbeknownst to him. My son is 28 years old and a naval aviator. Being in the military automatically demands a high and tight haircut. In the Navy, there is some leeway as to how long the top may be. The fact that my son was born with a tight curl to his hair and he's six foot two, meaning he's tall and thin and with curly hair, it lends his appearance to resemble Broccoli to the point that one of his early call signs in the cockpit was Broccolini.
