    One of our Canadian military groups famously won the privilege of beards while in uniform. As they are best described as Lumberjack Commandos, and basically build crazy stuff in active war zones, it fits.

    All beards majestic as fuck, obviously.

      Many navies, inc Australian Navy, allow beards, whereas airforce and army don’t.

      Not sure why, I think it was originally associated with limited water supply on subs or something. But they have to be neatly trimmed and fit properly into their OCCABA mask.
