Mongol General: That is good.

Frumby,
Does that mean I can start growing my hair out, like those cool green berets (as if my "wing reg" isn't long enough).

No kidding. I've never fully understood the relaxed grooming standards for special forces. Relaxed is one thing but they are down right lazy. The idea is to blend in but how does a big, hairy american blend into Afghanistan? Frumby

Yeah, you'll never hear the words "Recon" and "shave" in the same sentence, unless the word is "unshaven"!! They bring a new meaning to the term "Low-reg".
