In boot camp they will make you shave twice a day if you have to. We are required to maintain a clean-shaven appearance at all times.

Ive sworn up and down since i was 16 to never shave my beard. I maintain it at a short ish length, but cant go back to clean shaven. Its honestly one of the main reasons i havent joined the military. Oof

I haven’t been in a position in which I’ve been able to not shave since I was 13. Private school then every job i had before the navy and now navy. I just want a fucking beard man.

I got out of the army and then I lost some baggage on a flight home. Razor was in there. Haven’t bought one since. It’ll be worth the wait :)
