These accommodations are made on an individual level, not for whole religions. There are hundreds of thousands of Muslims right now who shave daily and have not been granted exemptions, because they haven't asked. There is no blanket "this religion can do this" type rule.<br /><br />BLUF: Certain people have exemptions because they got off their fourth point of contact, did the leg work, and got it approved. If you are jealous, to use the old saying, "don't hate the player, hate the game" get off your butt and request one for yourself. Don't hate on other people because you're too lazy to do what the Army regulations have allowed for decades...Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made Jan 7 at 2018 10:54 PM2018-01-07T22:54:49-05:002018-01-07T22:54:49-05:00SSG Michael Scott3236493<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Talk about having a permanent shaving profile. The army has gone soft in this generation.

We need to stop for a second. Please, don't shoot. WTF?<br />Perhpas, gas masks work different these days. <br />You know what 1ST, now that I think about it, let every swinging ^^^^ wear facial hair if they want. Then, run gas mask drills in the gas chamber. Let me get my phone video ready first. Thank you.<br />Regards,Response by Cpl Mark A.

This should have never happened. When these people joined they knew the standards, if they didn't want to adhere to the standards, then don't join. I am glad I am retired.Response by SGM Mikel Dawson made Jan 8 at 2018 1:07 AM2018-01-08T01:07:09-05:002018-01-08T01:07:09-05:00SGT Joseph Gunderson3236682<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This made me chuckle a little bit.Response by SGT Joseph Gunderson made Jan 8 at 2018 2:08 AM2018-01-08T02:08:49-05:002018-01-08T02:08:49-05:00SGT David A.

I do have an opinion on the Army making policy changes for such small percentages of the population whether it be for religious reasons or not. But I'll keep that to myself until one of the changes violates my Christian morals. Then I suppose I'll get reprimanded/separated/etc.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 8 at 2018 9:21 AM2018-01-08T09:21:22-05:002018-01-08T09:21:22-05:002018-01-07T22:44:42-05:00
