Hello again!

I'm off on det to Afghan in the future. I was wondering what attitudes towards hair length/audacious tache's people have? It was purely out of bored interest as I'm going to have epic hair (think Rafael Nadal but longer!) and hopefully a killer gringo musty ash!:pDT_Xtremez_35:

One of our lads grew a full-on handlebar moustache that even Pablo Mason would have been proud of, however he ensured that it never flourished below the level of his top lip.

It p!ssed the barmy army off no end, but as it was within regulations there was feck all they could do.

As a SWO once said to me, "What's under your beret is yours, what's not is mine", Let the games begin when we arrive out there.:pDT_Xtremez_30:

why why why? Are you trying for the Afghan hardman look? I can understand guys on the ground patroling, growing beards etc for obvious cultural reasons. Please dont tell me you are going to on base at Kandahar the whole time?

I shall wait for the inevitable thread :
I was told off for having a Foo man choo 'tache / long hair
Then we get 14 pages of how unfair it is that the RAF insist on short hair and trimmed mustaches
The old and bold will herrummph and rattle their papers and cry By Gad in a Col Blimp style whilst stating it wasn't like that in their day

If you have the facillities why not use them ?

Of course if you really want the Ally look of being out on the ground why not volunteer to go out on perminant top cover or something
That way you can grow your hair and big porn tache and you will at least have an excuse for them

If you want to look like a tool then dont let anyone here stop you. Every det I go on there are always people who grow thier burners/hair/taches/cut their desert hat,etc etc because they want to look 'ard. And then wine when the SWO/RSM collars them for looking like a tool, and they have to pay to get their hair cut , shave blah blah blah.

No#1 all over keeps the sand and dust out and saves on shampoo and clean shaven stops you looking like a 1970's chief unless thats the look your going for?

What you want to do Chumpzilla, is have a sponsered det 'Knob tickler' growing competition, for a charity of your choice. Get people to sponser you - everyone is a winner. You end up looking like the biker from the Village People, Everyone gets to laugh at you behind your back and a charity gets some wonga.

Saying that, seeing that you can only grow bum fluff at best, I'd put money on the fact that you don't win!

That's a fair shout actually Fomz! May just stick to the epic hair growth because it seems all my hair growing capabilities manifests itself in the top of my head!

Anyway, who says I was going to KAF....!?

P.s I don't want to look like a "hard man", I just thought i'd try and grow my hair for 6 months as a boredom thing! Subsequently, the facial bum fluff is out!!!! :pDT_Xtremez_30:
