Beards in the RAF
As an old stager I recall an Air Force within which you could only sport a beard in uniform following facial burns or a skin allergy.Those on RN Service also got away with it.
Having been sensitised by a recent couple of examples, I now am conscious of seemingly increasing numbers of RAF "Beardies".. I fear you reap what you sow................ |
What a terrible state of affairs... It's appalling.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I shall write to my MP at once and in the event of war breaking out I will be demanding that we boycott the RAF until they are all clean-shaven. :rolleyes: |

We gave this subject a good going over a year or two back https://www.pprune.org/military-avia...ghlight=beards
Nearly 200 replies, might be worth reading through if you missed it first time. |

I image your blood-pressure rising when you learn that RAF personnel aren't wearing uniform whilst working from home.

This RAF beardy weirdy thanks you for your concern.
I will be sure to be on the look out for freshly sown seeds to reap. BV PS. I think they look scruffy as hell but I have always hated shaving so I’m happy as Larry. How’s that for double standards?! |
...and don't forget...it applies to the men to! :O

If this boils your blood Haraka, wait until you hear about what happened the other day to a young RAF Regiment recruit. Oh, I forget - you did, and you were totally ok with it.

The originator. in my opinion quite rightly, pulled that thread and I won't be goaded by your simplistic and incorrect allegation into resurrecting it here.

We used to have them back in the days of black and white! OK, so it ain't that great but it helped pass the time! Mog |
Bang goes your anonymity, Mogwi...!!

I just appreciate that Mog has both his name and which hand it is (RIGHT / STBD) written on the back of his glove.
Anyway, dashing good looks or something. |

Take a loyalty pill VP! Surely that's why video calls are the norm, so the SWO can check the standard of your ironing?
