I’m wondering how the Sikhs are going to fit their beard into a gas mask. Wasn’t that one of the major reasons for the shaving requirement?

I was thinking the new recruits would have fun during the gas mask training. :)

Something which I had never heard before popped up in a recent documentary about Adolf Hitler. During WWI he had a big mustache, almost a handlebar. During a gas attack, his mask leaked because of the big mustache. Thereafter, he shaved it down to what he wore thereafter.
