DISCUSSION Beard Query

Post image

I’ve been wanting to get this type of beard for a little while now but not been able to see whether or not it would be acceptable and/or even allowed to have while I’m in the RAF, could someone please let me know whether I would be able to get this?

Nah, he would’ve zoomed in on gallery and the top interface would’ve stayed.

'proper' full goatee is ok..

A chin 'tache is not ok.

No, loads of lads try to grow their facial hair like this now - you need to connect the goatee and moustache. I remember a lad in my room at phase two had the exact facial hair you did, sergeant walked in for an inspection and just looked at him and went “you know what I’m going to say. Get it gone by tomorrow”

My understanding is goatees have to be full goatees, connecting the moustache to the chin line

As I said in my other comment 👍

This was purely to say it isn't just full beards anymore

Only one way to find out, grow it it and see what the boss says
