Can't get a good seal on the gas masks with a beard.

Army allowing beards now.


i hope someone posts the youtube video of them trying to survive a gas or chemical weapons attack. i know its hard to believe they would be so rude, but they wont stop and wait for you to finish shaving first, before the try to kill you.

pretty soon wearing uniforms will be racist and they will all be allowed to wear plain clothes

i wouldnt bet a nickel that anyone in uniform today is capable of handling mess hall duties, much less depend on them to be a fighting weapon to protect you

This should be way way down on the list of things to be worried about.

Specops dudes have beards and they will wreck shite.

No one is surprised. The army has been known as the nastiest branch for a long time. Bunch of rejects.

It’ll make its way here. We’re having similar recruitment problems.

My understanding was you can create a seal on the protective mask if you have a beard. That’s what I was taught anyway.

Yes you can get a seal. At some point during my enlistment, USN allowed beards @ E6 and below, had to pass mask fit every so often. Us nukes weren’t allowed often tho.

That’s fair. You don’t want me in a firefight.

How long does it take to squeal like a bitch and empty a magazine?
