For Reservist and Guard, is there a regulation that states facial hair is not allowed in Military IDs, even if you are not on duty?

I am just curious to know why it is okay in some places and not okay at others? Is it Unit dependent or is it army wide. Not that I plan on taking another ID card picture for a while if not ever again after this one.

Beyond ar 670-1 local policy would be set by the garrison commander or local command authority. For a picture I think you should shave personally.

I agree with you sir. Look at my headshot for the site. However, if was not an issue before I did not think it would be an issue now.

More of a best practice. Since the point of the ID card is for the gate guard to identify you when entering a military facility, having your appearance on the card be very different than how you look pulling up to the gate just results in delay and hassle.
