I wasn't allowed to have a beard or mustache before I was even capable of growing them [when I was 18 I didn't have to shave but once, maybe twice a week to maintain standards]. My head and face were both close to bald when I separated in November 2006. For 9 years I had to keep cleanly shaven, so of course I let it go to try something new. It turns out that I seem to really like it.D34DC311;1068583 said:LOL, so wait, you grew out your hair and beard just to say fuck you to the military? :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:
Or because your hero is grizzly adams? J/k
They don't care what you do when you get out.
It is funny, though a bit irritating, to see some of the still-brainwashed ex-Marines where I work say "I don't know how you can let your hair grow like that after 9 years." They still maintain a nice buzz.
Free thought FTW!
