Clean Shave Policy

Soldier said:
In the army there is a clean shave policy. cant have a mm of hair at all they must ask for permission for a goatee. they must ask for permission for tattoo and if they came in with a love bite or anything like that on their neck it was classed as damaging government property. how nuts is that. They are told they are owned by the army 24/7.

If it's that strict for them imagine how strict it is for the guys who are actually in the Securicor van!

When i worked in dunnes as a student they had a clean shaven policy and women were meant to wear natural looking make up and no jewellery except for wedding rings according to the staff handbook. Then again they are american owned too arent they? (k-mart?)

Dunnes? American owned? Er, don't think so...
 
when i was working there in 2001ish the word was they were being bought or partly bought by the people who own kmart and that H (margaret hefferernan) would stay at the helm. Maybe it never happened
 
It wouldn't be one of Ross Perots companies by any chance ?

AFAIK one of his computer consultancy companies had this policy, but I always thought it only applied to people who tried to grow beards after they joined the organisation?
UPS are also very finicky about dress codes etc.

What am I saying it has to be Gillette :D

It was a joke; relax.
I am well aware of what the various branches of the defence forces do.
 
it didnt sound like a joke to me. i didnt see any smiley faces either. i dont know you and as its been pointed out a few times on this site not every one can pick up what tone your using by reading a sentence. it sounded very disrespectful to me when i read it.

My apologies; no offence was intended.
 
Purple, you should try and not offend someone who has access to automatic weapons :D. I know firefighters have to be clean shaven or their breathing app won't make a proper seal on their faces.
