By virtue of Admiral Zumwalt's directives, I was allowed to have a beard the last two years I was in the Navy. When I was in combat, we shaved irregularly, including the officers. I don't see facial hair as an impediment to military discipline.

I was in during the Zumwalt yrs. I remember that. However, if the Army doesn’t allow this now...
