I like any king that can reign with his fist
I feel your pain, what happened to the days of us being allowed to have manly whiskers to be feared? Is what I'm asking.

the army sadly keeps me smooth skinned, but I can grow a pretty rocking beard when I get some leave.

NBC warfare happened. An M-40 mask will not seal with a beard on your face.
That said, SF guys overseas DO grow beards in order to blend in.
Can you reclass to SEAL now that you're over 27 (or is 28?) ? Or is it different once you're in the SPECWAR community?
Prior to joining the military, I had 5+ inch beard but now I'm all clean shaven (well, I have a 5 o'clock shadow at 10 am, but, you know, I do what I can) and I do miss the beard (as soon as I retire it's coming back with a venegence either that or a Dali stache). My advice for growing and keeping a beard is to maintain it and keep it stylized. No one really likes a mountain man beard. I looked at old photos of beards (mostly those of the European nobility) for ideas of how to keep mine looking nice, styles, etc. Just my two cents. Neat thread.
