Shit, I will become whatever religion that allows me to grow a beard.
Never have to shave again... In other news, Military standards continue to decline. We have grooming regs and uniform regs for a reason. Changing it for "religious" aka "Politcal correctness" is wrong. Unless there is an argument that this makes the military stronger, then this is just more bullshit for the pietry dish that we call the United States Armed Forces. |

We had a mess sergeant tell a Jewish kid to "take that fuckin' hat off when you are in my mess hall."
The Sgt. got an ass chewing from the Company Commander, and the kid kept his "hat" on. This was in the late 1950s. |

"Allows Commanders to authorize" not "Directs Commanders to authorize".
According to that article, no commander is compelled to authorize any exception. But I'm sure that will be forthcoming. |

I have no problem with allowing Sikh's to wear their hair long, have a beard, and wear a turban/kirpan. The regs against beards are bullshit anyway.
People wear gas masks with beards before the regs changed and those who were in before 1986 were grandfathered. We had a Chief with a full beard on my sub, he had zero problems with our air equipment.
If the uniformity of appearance is that important, then recruit them to special units as other countries have done. |

As I was told, there's a waiver for everything and anything. You just have to be important enough to get one. |

Medical people and other special folks can get waivers. That's what I was told when I was trying to get a waiver for my eyes. There's a waiver for anything. The Navy gave, IIRC, a 70 year old guy a waiver to join up because he's a specialist doctor. And the guy who was the head of some shock trauma thing in Baltimore was still in the military in his 70's (at one point covering a street with a shotgun when his convoy stopped) having first joined during Korea because, again, he was a very good doc. As I was told, there's a waiver for everything and anything. You just have to be important enough to get one. Bull shit. He's a fucking dentist. He could have gotten the same job working the same bases as a civilian. But they don't pay your school loans back for you. Typical liberal shit for snowflakes in the service, I don't want to follow the rules but I want everything everyone else gets too. I see "the commitments every other SM made are below me" While I'm expected to fuck some joes up who are rocking a peach fuzz mouth while a mother fucker in a turban is in the next formation over laughing. And he expects those joes not to hate him for his special treatment, And I'm supposed to lead soldiers surrounded by snowflakes who get the same or better pay as them. Standards exist for a reason. Double standards equal none. Okay, tell me about how bad this guy is: http://www.2ndmlg.marines.mil/News/NewsArticleDisplay/tabid/3874/Article/58270/navy-doctor-62-serves-on-first-deployment-to-iraq-in-honor-of-two-marine-sons.aspx http://articles.latimes.com/2007/dec/01/local/me-doctor1 He didn't need his loans paid, he had a great private practice, and as we all know, orthopedic surgeons with decades of experience who want to serve in shitty places just fall out of the trees everyday. |

Doesn't sound like a generic ass dentist to me does it. Bet he wears a fucking navy uniform properly, doesn't he. Age requirements change all the time, and don't hurt shit. You're comparing tomatoes to potatoes. Call of bullshit stands. |

You mean like having a larger pool of candidates for military recruitment? Nah, that would be silly. All those people just want to be unique, that's it. Them folks with their other religions and petri dishes... Damn country is going to hell in a hand basket! Just like I heard on the radio. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Shit, I will become whatever religion that allows me to grow a beard. Never have to shave again... In other news, Military standards continue to decline. We have grooming regs and uniform regs for a reason. Changing it for "religious" aka "Politcal correctness" is wrong. Unless there is an argument that this makes the military stronger, then this is just more bullshit for the pietry dish that we call the United States Armed Forces.

Because nobody else has a religion. Not breast feeding while walking outside in uniform, marching in a gay pride parade in uniform, hopping on stage at a Ron Paul rally while in uniform, or wearing some special fucking hat/beard. It's all bullshit. |

My last shop helped facilitate training for 4th Dental Bn-a USNR unit composed of, well, dentists (all with practices back home). We locked on ranges for them, provided small arms training, arranged for ammo, instructor, armorer and range coach support, PPE, and generally helped them get non-dental training for their two week AT.
I spoke with a couple of them that received their commissions in their 50s. They knew they'd never retire with a pension since they joined so late, but did so anyway because they had the opportunity to something they felt they should have done while they were young. It's not that unusual. Not a beard among them, either. |
