Jews Sikhs
Beards🤜🏻🤛🏽
Muslims also
I retired in 2011. I was an ETC (SW/CC) in the Navy. I am also a Jew with Israeli heritage. The biggest problem I had with the military was shaving. Shaving every day gave me very bad razor bumps and ingrown hairs, mostly on my neck similar to a lot of my African American shipmates but it took years and a copious amount of pain before I could convince medical to give me a no shave chit waiver. Even when I had it I was still required to shave every 3 days and for inspections. I most definitely grew a beard and have had once since retirement. My wife loves it and says it suits me and she always thought I would l would look better with one.
Our Creator made us this way. How men dare to oppose Him ?
Jesus loves you trust and repent in him and you will be saved !
@@joeygibbs4775 yeshua is yoshua in english, jesus is not his name. early bibles even write Iesus first because the j did not even exist and *sus came from greek and roman gods like sus/zeus for example
I'm a Pagan.. and I'm trying to get Accommodations for my Religious belief's .. i cannot loose my faith. i need my hair so the gods know i am able to love and protect..
So i feel my courage.. so i feel the connection to my gods.. I'm genuinely scared because they may try to cut my hair and if they do that.. i might as well be dead.
It is ME.. and i cannot see why they would treat my religious belief's as a "Maybe" when women can just do it. It's my right as a Pagan to worship my gods.
If anyone can help me.. please.. please help me stay true to my belief's.

Thank you for your service 🇺🇲
It shouldn't be an "exemption" either. There should be no rules about beards period. What a person grows on their face has nothing to do with being in the military. It's just a way for the military to control people.
I myself want to join army and keep beard but they argue that soldiers and officers can't have beards because enemy might hold their beard in man to man battle or it is hard to wear gas mask as seen in ww1 and hard to wear oxygen mask in aircraft
The Navy are allowed beards though.
Haseeb Ahmed you can get a shaving waver if you get razor bumps
Why wouldnt they? They're job is to keep our people safe and a beard like the one he's wearing would provide a handhold in combat, make first aid more difficult, trap possibly lifesaving food/water in an emergency, and provide a surface for chemical agents to get trapped near his face. I am in favor in allowing beards that are neatly kept and no longer than a 1/4 inch, but they're are absolutely downsides to longer ones
I’m not sure what you mean by how so they just are.
There is literally an entire regiment back in India that has all bearded men, it's called the Sikh Regiment and it is pretty tough to mess with those men I'm not exaggerating those guys have received hell lot of decorations
Yeh it's due to the religious obligation to not alter any hair from the body.
I salute this dude - same should be the case of long hair for men in the army
I hope you never serve.
@@superniger4822 I hope God remove the stupidness from you
I am in the navy I am a Christian but I believe we should have beards as part of my beliefs and the navy wont let me😡
Edit;
Also the nazis kept people from growing beards there I said it!
There’s no religious requirement of Christian to have beards. You can have one if you’re a sikh, a pagan, a Muslim, or if you say that razors irritate your face.
@@libertyordeath9936 there isn't in norse either yet I guy was able to for it that being said shaving irritated my face so I could have
@@libertyordeath9936 you do know there are verses in the bible that mention keeping beards right. I'd say not
Alabama Fisher Of men there’s not a religious requirement for Christians to keep beards. Anyway, if you were that devout that you wanted to keep a beard, surely you wouldn’t lie and break the commandment not to lie, as that’s a worse sin than not having a beard.
@@libertyordeath9936 There are very few "religious requirements" in Christianity, but that doesn't mean we don't have spiritual practices we should be allowed to indulge in. As a Jewish Christian, I should be allowed to grow a beard, but so long as people hold to the ignorant view that you have expressed, I will keep on having to suppress my religious expression, simply because "there is no requirement"
Having beards didn't stop the Sikh troops from slaughtering Pakistan's forces in 1973.
Or from fighting in the somme in ww1
Sikh soldiers have special permission
You mean 1971?
If so didnt the bulk of the army surrender without combat due to lack of ammunition?
Religious exemptions are stupid. If you can make exemptions for some, then the stipulation isn't mandatory for all
For you every religious thing is stupid. Why? Why not religious people have their own rights?
@@mynameis......23 of course, but if military makes exemptions based on your faith, then the stipulation doesn't need to be there in the first place
I don't see how the troops could've kept themselves clean shaven before the safety razor was invented. Shaving with a straight razor takes longer.
I am orthodox Jew. I wouldn’t mind trimming my beard with a trimmer
Well he does.
What if we tie our beards like in the Indian army (Sikh regime t)?
Open beards look more intimidating
This is a moot argument. American Jews are not joining the military for a variety of reasons. Two of my neighbors joined the IDF instead of the American military.
Irish Tino they are the same thing, and as we should. We fight for Israel
TOTALLY UNTRUE! I’M AN ORTHODOX JEW FROM NYC AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO JOIN THE US MILITARY IT’S JUST VERY HARD TO KEEP ORTHODOX JUDAISM IN THE MILITARY. I’M STILL LOOKING INTO IT
Can somebody keep Kosher in the military easily
Yes
Jesus loves you trust and repent in him and you will be saved !
While stationed anywhere in Europe or stateside it’s not too difficult. Deployments are a lot harder if not impossible. You could eat Kosher MREs everyday but they’re actually bad for you if you don’t break that up with real food. The chow halls aren’t kosher and serve pork in the same trays / kitchens. It’s possible but would be a very strenuous time. Speaking from experience.
O7!
Beards and long hair can be detrimental in combat situations - they can be grabbed - better off to have it shaved off for military service
Samson had a beard and long hair and it was not a detriment to him to keep.
I love beards and everything but you cant properly wear a gas mask with a beard and long hair. Thats why the militaries of the world clean shave and cut hair short. Perhaps with advancements in gas mask technology it will allow for long hair and beards.
That’s a lie I got a beard waiver the mask fit just fine
You do realize other militaries allow beards right
If you get exposed to nerves gas, you are dead anyway, mask or not.
1975 called, they want their dumb argument back
