"I'm definitely excited that our voices are being heard and that people are taking this seriously," Jacobs says. But, she stresses that this isn't the end of the dialogue. "They basically reverted the regulations back to what they were before and deleted some offensive language. They claimed they made revisions, but they just went back to the way things were." Jacobs claims there is still room for improvement in the modern-day military. She cites the recent decision by the Coast Guard earlier this year to authorize dreadlocks, noting that these styles can be neatly kept and maintained. "Instead of deleting words that are insults, I'd like people to be informed about what locks are and how they can be well maintained," Jacobs says.
