Title is a bit misleading, but I've always said if you're old enough to serve your country, then you should be able to decide if you have facial hair. PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S.

I am pro beard for all services. 23 years in the Army and 7 deployments, I have been at MOPP ready for exactly one week. I can shave a beard faster than the military can issue out a protective mask. There is no reason to not allow beards other than many military leaders think they do not look professional.

Full disclosure, i do look bad ass with a beard and having seen my face in all its bearded glory may have effected my judgment on this topic.

So what did the Navy do prior to the 1980s when they had beards?
What do foriegn Navy's do now?

So you have no argument against shore beards then? I can live with that, standards based on mission requirements. Not how the army does it though.
