Study Finds Beard Waivers Slow Promotion, Mostly Affecting Black Airmen

Thanks for the read and share!

We've got to get rid of this arbitrary shaving nonsense... There's no point to this at all.
And before you scream about gas masks, the average Soldier wears a gas mask once or twice a year, and only for training. And that's a huge maybe... A lot of Soldiers go YEARS between gas chamber training events....
"But what about deployments!?" I hear you scream. That's fine. Commanders can mandate shaving downrange when there's a CBRN threat. That shouldn't affect policy outside that theater of operations.

This is a ridiculous article since Airman promotions are test based. Not sure there is a question on the test asking if one is wearing a beard.
