As it very clearly states in the reg, no permanent shaving profile.
No, you can't get around it. USAREC is recruiting and you can't get around recruiting in order to be a recruiter.
A. Wearing a shaving profile as a recruiter gives the impression to the public that the Army officially endorses beards. Civilians don't understand profiles.
B. If you can't shape up your beard, it looks like crap. You're not allowed to shape a beard with a profile and the Army doesn't want unshaven men who look like homeless people representing the Army.

1SG Carey Price trimming and shaping are different. Shaping it is shaving the skin at the edges of beard to give it clean lines and a nice appearance. Which looks great, but contradicts the purpose of the shaving profile.

The public believes beards make the military look more badass. Enemies are not intimidated by baby faces. Gas masks form a seal with beards as nay studies have proven. Remove the shaving reg for all branches.
There. I said it.
