anyway to throw kerosene on this fire
There is no reason to have beards in a gas environment, and there is no reason to possibly compromise your effectiveness because of a theory and because you want your face armor

You may want it, but unless you can prove it won't hurt gas mask effectiveness, you need to shave your face child

I like having a beard but a neck gaiter does the same job

yeah, but

you'll look like a fag

>cries in the corne with my neckgaiter

Navy allowed beards from 1970-1984

He didnt mean it bro

lol

Navy doesnt get hit with gas

because no one thinks to gas a cutter

Coast Guard allowed until 1986

Next stupid bullshit answer

Army doesn't get hit with gas either

Army could though

And leaving it in place means they dont have to fuck with it later

you know

pilots won't get gassed

Why not let them have beards

Face mask?

doesn't need to form a perfect seal

Navy could get hit too. A lot of naval personnel don't stay on ships

What about in a compromised canopy?

you got bigger problems then, amirite?

but I suppose you're right

Navy dont even train with guns but whatever

(crosses arms, harumphs)

But that's fine, no pilot actually cares whether they have beards because they all want to look like 1984 Tom Cruise anyway

Damn ehzek were you really in the army because now you sound like a bullshitter

I share the fuckin police range with the Navy, CG, and Marines

Ehzek is like me, he just likes to pour fuel on fires

Who are there all the time

And you sound like a shitbag e4

Apples oranges

I don't care whether I'm allowed to laugh at that, I am anyway

My sister is in the Navy, qualified on pistol and shotgun. My uncle was in the Navy, qualified on pistol and M16

O man 2 people qualified

Doesn't change the fact most never touch a gun

instant stars in the Pentagon

It's required in basic training dumbass

Only for some
