the same rules apply to many civilian endeavors where protective equipment is necessary....... no Muslims need apply
Gee what Navy was I in?
The Navy ban on beards on Naval installations and operational vessels, including its submarine fleet, was reinstated in 1984 by CNO James D. Watkins.[20][22] However, this rule is generally ignored on board deployed submarines at the Captain’s discretion.
Aside from some weird hair grooming things, Sikhs are not crazy at all.
I admit to never being in your fleet.
In retrospect, I should have done that!
Wanna know what is funny as heck?
I got wrote up once for getting a regulation Marine Corp “high and tight”
Goofy Co thought it was extreme.
I got that over turned.
“In retrospect, I should have done that!”
You’re right! I should have done that with the Ex-wife Irish Redhead! At least she would have had to yell louder at me!
I have no idea what you are rambling about.
In fact all of your posts are kind of vague did you not know that Reagan banned the Sikhs beards and turbans?
What is your obsession with beards and turbans being allowed in the military?
Job done.
All I care about is if my shipmate is steadfast.
Mooslimes likes Rage Boy beards
Perhaps if you had visited the Fulda Gap, you would have a different opinion of turbans and beards in the military, and would have approved of Reagan’s military decision.
That’s a great photo! Thanks for sharing it.
I general I have no issue with Sikhs, but this article is not even about that.
It’s about beards in the service.
Are you aware that many a SF guy rode horses and wore long beards in Afghanistan?
Cut off his head, no more problem with the beard.
There used to be some crazy pics out there from the 60’s and 70’s.
No one got a haircut on any boat I was ever on.
Who’s gonna see ya?
Whitey Mack commanded a Sub in a bathrobe and slippers smoking a pipe, and he kicked Ivans ***!!
For crying out loud, beards are what we are talking about, and Reagan rightfully banned them, Obama caved in to the Sikh activists though.
And you really want to use Army Special Forces in civilian clothes with long hair and beards on special operations mission to argue for these Muslim and Sikh activists and militants?
Under Reagan I was also serving in a unit that was to quit cutting our hair if hostilities approached, those are unique and specialized demands, not for the general military, and when we, or those special operations forces in the middle East are told to shave, they do, the temporary hair and beards are to serve a specialized purpose, for a particular mission.
So long as they do not interfere with gas masks who gives a ****?
