Once you're in A school/the fleet, french braids are fine. I wear them pretty often myself.
But they're not authorized in bootcamp. There was a girl in my division who used to try it and the RDCs came down on her hard. The only thing you can do with your hair in bootcamp (besides having it loose with bobby pins to keep it out of your face) is corn rows.
I never really understood the logic of it, but that's the way it was.
