My wife and I were talking about this last night and both hated how I had to trim my mustache.

I hate it. I think if the military allows shaving profiles, religious shaving exemptions, we don't carry our promasks on our person, and that small beards won't affect the promask seal we should be allowed to grow neat and evenly trimmed beards.

I got out several times for site assessments, or jumping on missions when I was off duty and supposed to be sleeping.

MSgt Eric "Tiny" Townsend my mustache helped keep me alive in South America in 1985, and during three deployments in Afghanistan. In 2008 a CSM told my mustache was not regulation, I told him I was going out the wire, asked him to join me.

MSgt Eric "Tiny" Townsend, also I got pictures of your AFOSI teams with beards and mustaches.

AFOSI is a different animal all together from the Operational Air Force. Even the EST and QRF Teams that accompany them.

MSgt Eric "Tiny" Townsend, AFOSI is a different animal, what are you talking about they are pimps and I was there Bitch. They used my ability to look like the locals and my funds to get into areas where no other Non-Afghans had gone before.

The regulations set for mustaches make for quite an ugly example of a hairy slug on the upper lip. I'd be overjoyed if regs were to allow for neatly trimmed goatees or what have you, cuz I loved my beard when I had it. But now, when "No-shave November" comes around and the guys all decide to grow out their mustaches, just about none of them are within regs, and few of them ever even look decent, including my own. It's pretty awful.
