As Commander-in-Chief, this will be quickly cast out along with all other social experiment crap Obama has pulled on the military.

All, I mean all, of OBama’s directives to the military need to be rescinded!

I had a beard when I was in the Navy without any religious accommodations.

I once got dinged during a personnel inspection for having a lopsided face.

The beard was more compressed on the side that I slept on.

That sh*t will end fast the first time a cornrow/dredlock, or Hijab gets caught in a jet engine or tank turret!

Submariner?

Once on an extended cruise, the captain of the ship decided to have a ship wide beard growing contest. Even the Marines joined in, the Colonel happened to show up and was not amused.

"How about a bone through the nostril or keeping a chicken on one’s head."

How about lip plates like the Ubangis or African neck stretching rings? Gee, just about anything goes. Why make them wear uniforms? Let them go to war in cut off jeans and tank tops.

I love the story posted by another FReeper about boot camp haircuts.

Upon arriving the recruits were lined up to get their heads shaved. One recruit had long sideburns and told the barber, “The recruiter said I could keep them” The barber took the recruits hands and cupped them below each ear then proceeded to shave him clean. “See there, you get to keep them”.

LOL!

Mattie will not change this. He’s tough talk on the outside, but PC on the inside.
