Agreed, even if I could ( oxygen mask dependent) personally I wouldn’t. What others do however, that’s their business. Apparently it’s a win as far as dress policy goes, same as pony tails for ladies. If it keeps people happy and doesn’t impact on operational effectiveness then I don’t care.
In any case, it’s policy. The RAF has moved on.
There are many changes in policy since I joined in 1986 and things are remarkably better. Imagine the RAF in 1986 where we didn’t get rid of women who got pregnant. Imagine the RAF in 1986 where people who were gay weren’t thrown out.
Beards. Whatever.
