I grow about an inch and a half in a month. If I don't shave in a week I look like a mountain man with it coming up to my eyeballs 😂

@austinshannon4197 Ай бұрын

It’s funny you say that because I’m the exact same. I have black hair and I look like wolverine only after 1 week of not shaving. I have to shave my unibrow and upper cheek and I even have peach fuzz hair towards my nose on my cheek. I remember when I was 22 and some like 35 year old said I guarantee I grow faster and more. I said there’s no way in hell.

am sure that will bring in loads of new recruits lol 😂😂

This will actually improve both recruitment and retention. People need to keep this in context though when making smart ass replies. Are the recruitment offices going to be overflowing? No. Are contracts going to be renewed left, right and centre? No. It will help though. People like basic autonomy. A lot of people feel more confident with facial hair.

I don't know if I am spending too much time watching the news but it seems likely we will require a much much bigger military over the next decade. I imagine this won't be the only concession to increase recruitment.

@stretfordender11 Ай бұрын

Increases reservists definitely. It usually takes longer than a week for any man to grow even facial hair. Sometimes a month. So why would you sign up to shave for a few hours a week, ruining the rest of your week regarding your facial hair. My mate misses training and weekly nights if he has something social going on at the weekend such as a wedding or trip away just so he can have facial hair on the weekend.

There are folk with really sensitive skin that can't shave often or end up with bright red necks and rashes, be good for them, though if anyone was considering the army and got to the "Oh I can't have a beard I don't think I'll join" then the job probably wasn't for them.

I think the fact most ex soldiers grow beards when they leave says it all. You look better with a beard than without. Probably more comfortable and an easier life not shaving daily.

@TheJpf79 Ай бұрын

They don't just grow a beard, they wake up early, get showered and shaved and then realise everyone else is asleep and the shops are still shut, so they dunno what to do with themselves, sit watching absolute guff on the TV till folk they know wake up at some point that routine gets broken up, starts with not getting up so early not shaving is usually part of that, its something that normalises them back into civvie street.

Sorry lads this won't help recruiting, the root cause runs much deeper, Starts with Capita and ends with Schapps. British soldiers at one time or another, in the Army's 400 year history, have had massive moustaches, long hair and beards, this will not save it from the ultimate damage caused by Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity targets!

"There are people out there who haven't joined the army because they want a beard".... I think to do any job properly you need to be more interested in your job than you are in your beard. I wonder if or when they will change the way they conduct the medical screening for recruits. Currently they review your GP records and can then reject you without even meeting you in person. I mean it's a bit unfair when your GP has recorded your notes inaccurately. And surely rejecting people for "a history mental health" and "anxiety", when in fact there is nothing wrong with them is a bit outdated now.

Disagree with this, more lowering of standards. It's a desperate grasp at trying to get more recruits because it's trendy to have a beard at the moment.

@stretfordender11 Ай бұрын

“Lowering of standards” but many people think beards look smarter than being clean shaven. I personally think that it’s easy to tell a person who’s shaved everyday of their life by a constant mark on their face from it. It’s best to let people have the choice. Most under 40s who don’t have facial hair these days just can’t grow it.

@@stretfordender11 I'll agree to disagree, it's a a bit of a coincidence that numbers are low in the Army so standards have changed to meet the current trends of having a beard 🙄.

@@davidsayer3325 that’s what I mean, it’s all an opinion. You are correct with this though but it was always to do with fashion. Posh people(officers at the time) wore moustaches when the rules were set and moustaches were kept. Moustaches look hideous but because the aristocracy had them 130 yrs ago the army kept them.
