Is it easier to just cut it all off? Im assuming there's little time to do the whole flat-ironing thing, which would all be in vain anyway with the constant sweating and activity. I get headaches bad enough to want to faint when I wear braids, so that wouldn't really be an option.
 
Most black female Marines I knew kept their hair short because they can't make it conform to the white regulations.
 
I went to ft sill for bct so i wasnt in a coed environment, however there was a black female in my battery while in ait, she was in 13s ait. she had her hair midway between the base of her head and her shoulders and just brushed it. there is no time or point to try to do anything else with it as you will be sweating a good bit. hope this helps
