Granted I live a sheltered life, but I have never heard it put like that before. Consider it stolen.

I went to an SF briefing, and spoke with a recruiter yesterday. He said a shaving profile is a non-issue at Selections.

You should find your way back into your lane. This isnt it.

When you arrive and you see some of the evaluators nodding in your directions. You might wish it had.

Seriously Fellas, it will be fine. He can plug clippers in anywhere in the world. If he can't then he can use battery operated ones and the noise will never be a problem. When the batteries die, he'll just have "relaxed grooming standards" all to himself. He will always be be able to maintain his cleanliness and his inflamed skin will never get infected, be a hindrance to his team, his medic, or to accomplishing the mission. After all, the ONLY AO he will ever go to and work in is Iraq / Afghanistan and beards are GTG there - right? I mean, he went to PS.com and asked the advice of all those idiots there, then went back to thumb his nose at them! Man, WHAT A GREAT GUY!
He is TRULY "special".

Personally-
I think he is selfish, thinking of no one but himself and his "wants". Damn the rest of the team.

FOREIGN DIGNITARY: Team SGT High Speed, I see your men have all honored my country by coming to the ceremony. Thank you.
Team SGT High Speed: Yes, we are here to honor your men's bravery and sacrifice
FOREIGN DIGNITARY: Why are all of your men well groomed and presentable except that one there, the one who wants to stand out and be different?
Team SGT High Speed: Ummm...he has a waiver....
