I recently discussed this with a friend of mine who is a CO and he assured me that provided your grooming is neat there is no objection to facial hair. However, the local body of elders rules and if they decide it is not acceptable in your community there is little that can be done about it. I agree it is a relic of the 1960s and most elders would rather err on the side of caution than be seen to allow personal choice in the matter.

What a load of crap. Seriously!
Outdated, outnumbered, and just plain stupid is how these old men are. They are like a grumpy old grandpa that no kid likes. I would rather eat snails than obey they're authoritay!
