Consulting AR 40-501 as we speak(Type..) But, by saying "We do not have a lot......", that means that there ARE, or have been before? Would having a beard SUBSTANTIALLY lower my chances of completing the course successfully, AND GETTING SELECTED?(I never imagined the scenario of "Damn, he is above and beyond the physical and mental standards, BUT.... He has a beard.....")
Like I said, it is a VERY serious problem. Most people have a few areas of their face that are problematic, but my ENTIRE face(With exception to my mustache) gets inflamed when I shave any closer than 1/8 of an inch. The Medical officers on the profiling board all agreed that it is maybe one of THE WORST cases they ever have seen..... So, this is not me whining in any way. Once more, getting the laser treatment would be a BAD move?! I was actually told by a QP(SFC A, 10th Group people will know him) that it would possibly be a good move to get it, because he got it, but only over a small portion of his neck. I have spoken briefly with an SF Recruiter(The one for the Stuttgart area), and he told me to get back with him in a few months, upon my promotion to PFC(For that is when he will begin helping me with my packet, but why not already have my ducks in a row if at all possible?!). All guidance and advice is greatly appreciated, and further correspondence will be anticipated.
