There is no cure for PFB, but laser hair removal is the most effective long-term solution, according to the US Pharmacist.
So… instead of a shaving chit, give 'em a laser waiver?
How about we don’t expect black men to permanently give up their facial hair because of a fucking job.
Yeah, I’m down. Readiness doesn’t need a razor shave, as evidenced by our Special Forces in the Middle East.
If they had a threat of chemical warfare, they would have to shave too. You can’t get a good gas mask seal with facial hair unless you use a ton of Vaseline and have time to prepare.
Yes, in those circumstances everyone needs to be clean shaven. But it’s not an everyday thing and a Marine with the condition could deal with the problem afterwards.
Shaving was because of gas masks. The mask needs rubber-on-skin contact to make an airtight seal, and a beard prevents that from happening. If there’s a threat of chemical warfare, shaving chits get revoked.
And yet, the Canadian military has absolutely no problem allowing our troops to have full beards.
Yeah modern SCBAs don’t rely on half-face masks anymore.
NGL I have PFB (my hairs are stupid curly) and I’m kind of stoked that this article mentioned the laser hair removal because I didn’t know that would work.
I would rather just grow my beard but that’s a different problem
Lazer hair removal for the parts you don’t want to shave. Then let the rest grow.
You’ll gain the super power of looking well put together after waking up from a three day bender.
men with razor bumps relieved they won’t have to fight if called upon. whew dodged a bullet there
Get out of serving the military with this one easy trick! The US gov hates me, lol
Now that we’ve decided to save Iran from the Iranians dermatitis will have to be the new bone spurs.
No. Bone spurs was a way for a rich asshole to dodge the draft.
This is explicitly a way to kick poor black men, volunteers, out of the military.
Or maybe it’s that black Sargent that some racist captain wants gone.
Purging the military of minorities is never a good sign.
So as far as I can see their plan so far appears to be to reduce the size of the military, while at the same time making enemies of trained personnel. Doesn’t seem particularly well thought out.
And also starting a war.
yup. every step is to homogenize the services with white male cisgendered warcrime-willing types.
they’re making techbro’s LT Col’s - then kicking out lgbtq soldiers and now this.
and it’s only been six months.
Great. Sabotage your military more, Trump.
You must not be a citizen. It’s worse when “Sabotage our military in which members of my family are serving” is the accurate statement
I don’t know how he does it, but Trump consistently finds a way to show me even more evidence that he’s Putin’s puppet.
I was convinced when ze Russians astroturfed the web in 2016.
Since then every 3 months or so he’ll do something completely batshit crazy that only makes sense if he’s trying to help Putin
Same here. There’s no way sabotaging your own country down to the core isn’t intentional.
Well good, anyone with a conscience is going to need an easy way out anyway.
Sorry but I have sensitive skin
