Air Force New Shaving Guidelines

Now before anyone takes issue with this, read the entire article to completely understand it.

The details these big organizations need to think of is daunting.

Wouldn’t it be easier just to allow neatly trimmed and managed facial hair? It is about discipline and neat appearance. That can be done with facial hair.

My guess is that in an actually military conflict, shaving becomes less often anyway.

It is about sealing your face while wearing a gas mask more importantly.

Neatly trimmed and managed facial hair may be easier, but try to define that.

Combat requires intense discipline and shaving, hair cuts and clean rifles are all parts of that discipline.

These are the same grooming standards I had to comply with on a daily basis 50 years ago when I was in the Air Force. You could have a mustache, which I did, but I needed to trim it every day. I never gave shaving everyday a second thought, it was normal daily routine.

If you in Military you subject to Regulation changing.  If you don’t like new regulation, leave at end of contract.

Might be sorry in 10 years. 

Air Force just in last 18 months change BDU Uniform,  Old Troop had to pay 4 New Work Uniform.

Same bump happens in private world.
