I could understand not shaving for a few days when on a sub, but how does the guy on the right even remotely pass inspection? That shit looks groomed. :twofinger

The Navy allowed beards until 1985-1986.
 
Problem with that is ensuring they are groomed properly. Easier to just say NOPE than go around inspecting everyone's facial hair specs.

I meant for the Army. We have a clearly defined standard that must be maintained in order to wear a mustache in uniform.
 
It's hard to put gas mask properly when you have a beard

Its said that this was Hitlers motivation for his signature style of face hair. He nearly died because his face hair disallowed a seal on his mask.
 
The cave diving vid in another thread made me think of this. "Diving Deep Space" by Wes Skiles. I met him once and asked him about it. It was shot in a Florida cave at a depth of 250ft or so, by himself. He left the camera with the shutter tripped open, then swam out and turned on his light for a second. Then to the next spot, and the next. He called it painting with light.
