RAuxAF 'beard' question.

Quick query,
Is it acceptable to have a beard in the RAuxAF (gunner), or would you have to be clean shaven.
I notice a lot of the guys have full beards on ops, just wondering if it is a tolerated exception due to cultural significance in some of the communties there, or if you can have one anyway.

I seem to recall that the navy was the only service you were allowed to have a beard, but maybe this has changed?

Prior to the 'phone your PSI' replies, I will, but it won't be until next week and I'm impatient! :lol:

As long as you are female, it is entirely acceptable.
Just ask Hypers, she has a full set.

Just been informed that you get more respect in one of the countries I may be visiting shortly if you have a 'tache.
Great. :roll:

H, I really don't know much about gunners or Oggies, but it's nice to know you think so highly of me! :P
Will see what I can find out...
