The Army is still very much running tests on whether to authorize beards

This would be amazing.

That's cool. Call me when they authorize alcohol.

Let it happen. Pretty sure we’re the ONLY military that doesn’t allow it; we hide our fear of change under the excuse “but your gas mask!” The new masks have good coverage, not hard to get a seal with a groomed beard.

Tell me, how often do you keep it on your hip or in your assault pack anyway?
