Royal Australian Navy question

I got to this in three days, beard wise.

Then again, this is the longest I've gone without a shave or haircut in 12 years.

I'll allow beards when I am CNO of the IRR.
 
Beards were allowed for enlisted after basic training when I went in as an "E" in 1977. I saw a few of them on enlisted and officers in the early 80's. I never had one - probably couldn't grow one & spent almost all my time with Marines (I was a corpsman) - so I don't know when they went away.
 
Beards were allowed when Zumwalt was CNO. A lot of the chiefs didn't like it and were holding liberty cards until the ID card picture matched the current face. Z heard about it somehow and sent out a Z-Gram saying "When I said the troops may wear beards, I meant the troops may wear beards."
 
Come on, we all know you've been to the clusterfuck that is PSD...

Could just use a sharpie marker instead... poor man's photoshop... (I need a bearded smiley face emoticon to put right here)
