 U.S. Army Capt. Tejdeep Singh Rattan became the first Sikh to graduate from Army Basic Training. Below is a picture of Capt. Tejdeep Singh Rattan speaking to journalists a U.S. Army officer basic training graduation ceremony at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio on Monday, March 22, 2010. Capt. Rattan is the first Sikh allowed to complete officer basic training while wearing the traditional turban and full beard since the Army altered the dress code, which had made exceptions for Sikh soldiers, in 1984. Way to go Captain Rattan!
